Most of what I did was under develop/basic, a little under develop/detail/noise 
reduction. I haven’t ventured into the graduated filter yet. Still trying to 
assimilate what I’m learning—I hope I’m learning--in the other areas.

I’m concerned that I may have gone overboard. I don’t like heavily saturated 
photos, and some of these may venture on that.

Comments and suggestions more than welcome.

Thanks, Bob. And thanks for getting me over the hump regarding use of the 
develop tools. I’ve been going back and forth between my editing and Adobe’s 
video tutorials. It’s slowed my processing down considerably, but I want to 
keep going—to push further and to make sure what i learn is well-assimilated.

Yes, I did, Rick. I especially found moving the shadows and blacks sliders 
around to be helpful.

> What was the event?

Well, I was there for two weeks, but I went for a wedding—of an English guy and 
an Australian guy. The English guy is my nephew. (You may remember my talking 
about discovering a sister six years ago I hadn't  known about.) The wedding 
was three days. I spent a couple days in Rome, then did the last six days of a 
bike tour that got underway the day of the wedding. In addition to the history 
and culture of the area, the bike tour was focused on the cuisine of the area 
and sustainable agriculture in it. All this was in Salento, the bottom third of 
the province of Puglia, the far south of Italy. 

I had a wonderful time. Being with family who are familiar with the region and 
doing the bike tour were very helpful in getting to know the place. One of the 
places that was special for me on the bike tour was Le Costantine Fondazione. 
Among other things, it supports women in weaving beautiful fabrics on ancient 
looms. Their website is at . There's 
some wonderful photography on it. I also discovered a music—pizzica—that I’d 
never heard of before and can’t get enough of. 

That’s to say nothing of the food. And the people. I loved them. I loved the 
place. I want to go back. It’s affordable. And eminently, eminently 
photographable. (But then what’s not?)

Thanks, Ann. It helped that there was an “official" photographer on the scene. 
I’ve gotten reasonably successful at communicating to people that they 
shouldn’t pay any attention to me, that they should just be themselves. That my 
camera was tiny helped, too.

Thanks, Godfrey. And thanks for the pointers. More to learn of course, but

Yes, Darren, it was a lovely evening, clear but not too bright. Lovely in other 
ways, too. I had wonderful time in Italy.

Results of my efforts to go a little deeper in LR develop

2015-09-26 Thread Eric Weir 
This is a selection of photos from a group on which I spent a fair bit of time 
trying to take advantage of Bob and Godfrey’s for going a little deeper into 
the LR develop module. 


Most of what I did was under develop/basic, a little under develop/detail/noise 
reduction. I haven’t ventured into the graduated filter yet. Still trying to 
assimilate what I’m learning—I hope I’m learning--in the other areas. 

I’m concerned that I may have gone overboard. I don’t like heavily saturated 
photos, and some of these may venture on that.

Comments and suggestions more than welcome.
