This is another photo from the series taken at sunset, at The Oaks, Inverloch, Victoria. You can see the larger version here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcelvanderhorst/3425193576/
This photo was exported straight out of Adobe Lightroom and then resized for Flickr in Photoshop.
The settings I used in Lightroom was quite straight forward, I first used as a basis the Canon 50D’s Landscape camera profile, which sets the saturation, contrast and sharpening.
*I then incresed the white balance ever so slightly by depressing the CTRL button (CMD on Mac) and moving the WB slider to warn it up slightly.
*A small amount of fill light was used to open the shadows a little and brighten the foreground a little bit (I exposed for the sky to retain detail in the sunset).
*Vibrance and Clarity was increased to bring the image up from the flat RAW to something what it really looked like on the night.
*I reduced the Luminance in the HSL panel on the red and orange colours to tone down the bright colours and bumped up the saturation by two or three notches.
*A small ‘S’ curve was employed in the Tone panel to increase contrast to bring out detail in the rocks.
*The usual sharpening and noise reduction was employed to get a good looking result.
An anouncement will be made when the image is available as a print to buy.
