Gone quiet in here....
Here's a few I shot quite a while ago. Didn't think much of them so never bothered processing etc. I saw a few photos processed with a certain style I liked and decided to try and emulate it, but I was away from my external disk which holds all my lightroom pics. These were the only suitable ones in my local "Temp" folder, so I gave it a go. They turned out better than expected, but are really just a test. I've never really been one to dramatically change colour palettes or add heavy vignettes etc, but I'm finding more and more that I love photos with a really heavy late summer/early autumn feel - Lots of golds, browns, reds. Very warm. quite dark. Almost a nostalgic feel.
Much like when most people discover HDR, I imagine these are nausia-inducing for most - But for me it's a first step towards recognising a style that I like, beginning to practise and perfect it, and ultimately, make it my own.
Criticism and advice is more than welcome.
