Before and After: Little Red Corvette

Always love the classic Corvettes! Here is a shot from the 2017 Corvettes at Roscoe Village in Coshocton, Ohio. Editing done in ON1 Photo Raw 2019.

Editing
After doing some basic processing in ON1, I headed over to the Effects panel. I started with a Color Adjustment filter to punch up the reds followed by a Tone Enhancer filter to bring in the highlights and the whites. Next came a Vignette and finished with a Sunshine filter to brighten up the photo.

Before and After: Honey Run Falls (Fall 2018)

Taking another look back at my visit to the Honey Run Falls outside Millwood, Ohio.

Editing
After doing some minor adjustments in ON1 Photo Raw, in the Effects panel, I started with a Tone Enhancer filter. A Color Enhancer filter was then applied to bring out the colors which were then adjusted with a Color Adjustment filter. A warm polarizer Photo Filter was applied followed by a Glow filter. A postcard texture was added and a Curves adjustment was used to brighten the midtones. A subtle Lens Blur was applied as well as a vignette followed by a simple white border.

Before and After: Vintage White Baron

Each year, Wynkoop Airport, a small grass field airport, hosts the WACO Reunion. The event has vintage planes and their owners fly in for the event and the public can come to check out these old planes in which most are WACO biplanes. These old planes were manufactured by The Waco Aircraft Company in Troy, Ohio between the 1920s and late 1940s before the company closed in 1947.

Editing:
Using ON1 Photo Raw, I started with a LUTs called Vintage Matte before applying a Tone Enhancer to increase contrast. Then I added a orange Photo Filter and a Color Enhancer using the Fall setting. Next comes a postcard texture plus a vignette and finished off with a antique border.

Before and After: Meet My Little Friend!

One of nature's friends can be found at The Brown Family Environmental Center are frogs. Just enjoying the summer sun in the garden's small pond. I was lucky that he posed for the camera.

Editing
Using ON1 Photo Raw 2019, I started with a simple HDR Look filter followed by a Black & White filter. I added a little Dynamic Contrast before applying a Tone Enhancer filter. To give the photo some depth, I added a Lens Blue with a tilt shift setting and through in some vignetting. Then finished it off with a black letterbox border.

Before and After: Black and White Flower

Anyone can take a beautiful picture of a flower these days, but to have your photo stand out, you have to do something different. With this simple shot of a flower, I used ON1 Photo Raw to make it different by using a black and white LUTs, some Dynamic Contrast, and add a texture with a emulsion border.

Before and After: Bee kissing the Flower

At times that I visit The Brown Family Environmental Center, I try to capture bees and butterflies with my Canon 5D Mark III and using my Canon EF 70-300mm 1.4-5.6 IS zoom lens. I am not good at it but sometimes I am lucky to get a good shot like this one.

Editing
Starting with a LUTs filter in ON1 Photo Raw 2019, I used the Thoreau LUT followed by a Color Enhancer filter to make the colors vibrant and warm. Next I applied a Sharpening filter to apply a little sharpening and a Tone Enhancer to bring in the highlights and darken the shadows a little. A texture that I downloaded from ON1 called 2LO Color Burn1-hardlight, part of a Color Burn Overlays collection, was added to the photo. A vignette came next and finish off with a Emulsion border.
