Another month, another post… I’d write some sort of apology for the silence, but you’ve all heard it all before…
Anyway, I’ve been working on importing my photos into Lightroom and getting them organized there, partially in the hopes that it’ll be a lot faster in the future for me to get stuff posted on this blog after shooting it. In the process of reorganizing stuff on my hard drive, I’ve found a handful of photos that have “fallen behind the sofa” so to speak; stuff that I processed at some point but didn’t post for one reason or another. I should be posting a few of them over the next week or so while I get this Lightroom thing figured out.

First up is one that I did when Luke first sent me the photo in this post. I got to thinking, what if I took a super-clean, picture-postcard shot and “dirtied it up” in Photoshop? I ended up with what you see above. I never posted it, partially because it feels pretty derivative when compared to Luke’s shot, but also because after looking at it for a bit the effect feels pretty over-the-top to me. What do you think?
I have to admit I like the shot, if for no other reason than that the trees look like Huorns to me. I don’t know why, but they do. I think the effect works in the trees and the mountain, but it does seem more noticeable in the sky.
