Ok so Saturday evening, decided to test out my new camera, with the intention to check out Adobe’s Lightroom software which you make a whole pile of adjustments to make a really outstanding photo.

So I went to the beach, took a couple of pictures of the sunset, as well as some windmills and some canals… you know, classic Netherlands stuff.

So here’s some pictures side by side.  With just a few adjustments.

The point of this was to play around with the software and see just what I could do, rather than create really amazing photos.

So if you don’t like them..   well let’s put this in the immortal words of Futurama.

No, but seriously here are some comparisons.

     

      

      

       

      

With this last one, I know you may be thinking that nothing has changed, however the whites on the road are more pronounced, and the reds on the skyline have more depth.   Just 2 simple adjustments means this one is more of a keeper rather than the original.

These few photos are just from changing the colour focus just on the camera, rather than editing in Lightroom.

And here’s some other random choice photos just from the camera

  

I know this is simple, but I really like the above shot
