Say No to Ice

Forrest Lake in Methuen was frozen the last time I was there. It’s still pretty cold out, but the temps have been hitting the 50’s on most days. Here’s looking forward to the next time I visit Forrest Lake when there won’t be any ice to be found anywhere.

Someday I will get a good long exposure shot of a spinning merry go round. This day was not that day.

As for the before and after Lightroom, I think the colors are okay but over all I over did it… again.

More Fun with Lightroom Mobile

Forgive me. It’s a lazy Sunday at home and I am having fun being a nerd with film photos.

Here’s another before and after messing with Lightroom on my iPhone post. This time it’s the Spicket Falls Dam in Methuen, MA. Is the edited in Lightroom version better than the non-edited in Lightroom version?

Fountain

Tenney Castle courtyard in Methuen, MA. This is from Dad’s camera with the cheap zoom lens. The next roll I shoot with my camera will use the same lens. I need to know if it’s going to work for me at my step daughter’s graduation in a couple of months.

Can I Fix a Disaster?

After messing with Lightroom on my iPhone yesterday I posed a question to myself: Can I use Lightroom to fix a disaster? The answer is a resounding no, though maybe if I actually knew what I was doing I could have better results.

Here is a terrible shot from Epcot Center:

Yet another clock picture. The camera was in aperture priority mode (what the Nikon FG-20 actually calls Auto mode) and clearly the light meter was looking at the sky and not the foreground. Oh well.

Here is my very funny attempt at fixing things with Lightroom on my iPhone:

I mean, I guess it’s a success as you can see the things that were buried in shadow, but it’s a fail in that they just look ridiculously awful. If I knew what I was doing, would I have done better? Probably not. The picture was a disaster after all…
