Showcasing the beauty of Mother Nature
Muscle memory is already starting to kick in while I am working my way around photoshop. I was really happy to have the chance to play around with a plugin I haven’t been able to use in a long time; Tonality by MacPhun (now called Skylum Software). I know their Luminar product is supposed to have similar options as the old Creative Kit, but I really liked the speed I could fulfill my vision using the Tonality plugin, and today was no different.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead.
Spotlights can add a strange colour cast to images, and rather than tinkering for ages with colour correction, I moved this to black and white to see how it would look, and loved the result.
Wishing everyone a fantastic week!
Despite a long weekend, this image pretty much sums up how I am feeling at the moment.
Wishing everyone a positive week ahead.
I call this one “Toes and Tails”. A few close up images of lions and leopards from my last time out in the bush.
Wishing everyone a safe and healthy week ahead.
A simple giraffe to end the day.
A gentle giant to start the week.
This image is a bit of a continuation of yesterday’s Leopards at night theme.
The one difference here is this was shot under a red spotlight, whereas the images shared yesterday were either with a spotlight without a colour filter, or under natural available light. I’ll be working on some more of the images shot under red light shortly, and share them as a separate post.
I hope you enjoy – happy Monday!
I’m pretty sure this was the facial expression I had when I woke up thinking it was Sunday, but then realized it is in fact Monday. Oops!
Have a great week everyone!
Another week begins! I was scanning through my image catalogue and a zebra image caught my eye, so I decided to go with that for my monochrome Monday post.
I don’t have any interesting tidbits to share about zebras today, just a few images. I’m sure if you wanted to know interesting facts about zebras, you could head on over to Wikipedia and learn everything you wanted to know, and then some 🙂 I recall watching an episode about them some time ago on the David Attenborough series Natural Curiosities; a great one to tune into if you happen to come across it.
That’s all for today as Spencer is stamping his feet at me, wanting to head out on his afternoon walk.
Hope you have a great week!
Happy Monday! I am super grateful that I was able to get my computer back out of sick bay this weekend, complete with a new SSD drive, so hopefully it’ll be running well for a couple more years (at least).
I got the computer back, but haven’t actually had an opportunity to do anything with it in terms of editing. Even with the system restore from a backup, there are little quirks that need to be addressed.
So here is a giraffe image I edited a few weeks ago and had ready to go. These two were part of a group of about 6-8 that were spread out amongst the acacia trees. We were on our way to check on a lion sighting from the previous day, so we didn’t spend too much time with these guys. Not that we needed to rush to the lions; they had barely moved since the previous day.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week!
