    Nearly finished with holiday snaps and scraping the bottom of the barrel now ;)

    Another one from the Road to Leenane series. No photoshopping for a change, other than some localised sharpening and some unsharp masking. Hell, I even left the damned telephone poles in.

    Considering there hasn’t been any photoshopping, I have to say that’s
    some amazing light on them thar hills… both on the face of them and
    directly behind. Must be a huge flash you’re using…
    Again, I love the colours of all your images, almost surreal in their warmth.
    Anytime I try this everything just looks green – jb7 can confirm that :oops:
    I like it, though I don’t think it’s quite as strong as some of the other
    shots you’ve posted recently.

    I tweek the colour in the Canon’s ZoomBrowser EX when processing the RAW: +5 yellow and +3 green and also up the colour temp.

    In Photoshop:
    Unsharp Mask: 30%, 200px radius, 3px threshold.
    Sharpen: Edit > fade sharpen > 15% overlay.

    Is it fair to tweak colours etc in RAW and then say you did no photoshopping?

    I’m not saying I don’t like the end result (because I do). In fact it’s excellent. I particularly like the light and colours. The scene itself isn’t too interesting to me, but the mood conveyed more than makes up for it.

    To me the RAW processing work is just the same as adding a warm up filter to the front of the lens – or any filter for that matter.
    Photoshop would be for post processing, where all pixels are not treated equally.

    I think its perfectly fair to be honest, Photoshopping implies post processing, admittedly you kept that to a minimum
    Well done on the image, i love the almost green hue to it.
    That, with the unusual composition is striking.
