Great choice of subject and composition. Is there any chance you can recover any detail in the sky.
I miss Wales. Had to move over to the other side of the country for my mother-in-law. I was not happy I can tell you. I miss my home that we had done up. We lived in Llanfair Clydogau, just near Lampeter. Only home I have had that I miss. Thanks for sharing this wonderful image
I'm in Llandysul, well you know how far I am from these places.
Thanks all.
Sadly, that is it's failing. I've tried everything 'I know' to add detail, to no avail.
Someone more 'up' with PP probably could.....transplant a sky, but then it's not 'my' image, is it?
It's shot in RAW, I cant do anything with colour version either.
I use LR6 Stand Alone and PSE13.
If I copy and paste your image into photoshop and pull the exposure right down there is a bit of noisy texture in the sky and so it is probably not completely blown . I would have thought it would be possible to do something with the original file.
Thank you, but how? I'm open to all suggestions.
Have you tried opening the raw image in LR and applying a gradient or selectively reducing the exposure using the brush tool. Although I can't remember what the retouching tools were like in ver 6.
Reminds me a little bit of an embossed image we used to do when I went to Reading college back in the '70s. Not quite, but close enough. You take your image on a larger format like 5X4 is best. You can do it on two-quarter format but it's not as clear. You then take your negative and put it in the enlarger. You then use another 5x4 on the base and create another positive image. When that is developed you put the two films together and then slightly miss-a-line them. Tape the edges with a small bit of tape and put it in the enlarger. You end up with an embossed image. One hell of a long process, but you worked with the technology we had back then.
