tollie Posted October 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I took this photograph a while ago (M8, 28 2.8). I was prowling around an abandoned sugar mill and came across this abandoned crane. I converted it in Lightroom… and would appreciate any comments concerning the conversion. Mostly, I have done my conversions in either PS or True Grain. I wanted to see what I could do just with LR. Thanks for looking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted October 27, 2008 Share #3 Posted October 27, 2008 Todd - Excellent composition, enchanced by the angle; lovely light, contrast, tonal quality and detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tollie Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted October 27, 2008 Many thanks Stu, I appreciate the feedback. I find that the eye of many on this board is quite helpful. For correction and as a "reality" check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted October 28, 2008 Share #5 Posted October 28, 2008 Todd, these are fine conversions. I think you will learn to like the rounded functionality of LR> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tollie Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted October 29, 2008 Yes LR... especially since 2.0 with local adjustments is wonderful. You can do an easy dodge/burn and a very nice gradient. I recently did a small wedding and shot 200 images. (ok not a lot) I processed out 50 in a couple of hours including a few that took a round trip to PS. LR seems to be growing into a full service photographers dark room. I wonder what 3.0 will bring? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted October 29, 2008 Share #7 Posted October 29, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Todd, nice images. Consider taking the next step and process some of then in PS. By doing the conversion as a layer, one can flatten the contrast before conversion & retain much more detail. Than YOU choose where & how to apply contrast, darkening & lighting.
