SmugMug website updated!

Just a simple notice that I updated the cover on my SmugMug site with a picture I took in June at Schnormeier Gardens. I have been thinking of looking at changing to a different format.

Before and After: Schnormeier Gardens | June 27, 2019

Following up with a before and after from last week's visit to Schnormeier Gardens outside Gambier, Ohio. This is shot of the popular red bridge at the asian theme gardens edited with ON1 Photo Raw 2019.

Editing:
After minor adjustments in the raw Develop panel, I moved to the Effects panel and started making the colors pop out using the Color Adjustment filter. Next, I applied a Blues LUTs that make it stand out more especially the greens. Then a tobacco color Photo Filter was added and a Curves filter then was used to brighten the midtones. A tilt shift Lens Blur was applied and finished out with an vignette.

Schnormeier Gardens Open House 2019

Schnormeier Gardens located outside Gambier, Ohio is open to the public during final weekend of June. I was able to get there today with very very few visitors by getting to the gate early before the crowds. The private gardens have a asian theme with a Japanese teahouse for example. This year, for the first time, I took my mother along who never been the gardens. All the hills definitely worn her out. Well, here is one picture I took while there with plenty of more to go through.

Spring Is Getting Near!

I thought I share a photo I took in June of 2018 at the Schnormeier Gardens outside Gambier, Ohio. The gardens are open to the public one weekend a year in the month of June. I really can't wait for summer to arrive! Editing was done in ON1 Photo Raw 2018.

Before and After: Bridge of No People

Going back to Schnormeier Gardens, the gardens are opened to the public in June once a year. Because of this and the fact the gardens are popular, a lot of people tend to come and one just seems to be unable to take a photo without people in the shot. In comes Adobe Photoshop and any other photo edited that let's you remove people from your pictures.

Editing:
Starting in Adobe Lightroom CC, I did some minor adjustments starting with bringing down the Highlights and opening the Shadows. Also, I increased the Clarity and the Vibrance. Moving onto Photoshop, I first removed the people from the picture using Content-Aware and the Clone Tool. Next, I added a Curves adjustment layer to add a vignette. Then a Photo Filter adjustment layer set to Warming Filter (85) to give the photo some warmth. And finally, I added a Levels adjustment layer with a gradient to darken the lake.
