Twenty degrees. The heavy snow has stopped, for now. An occasional flake floats down now and again. Thick gray clouds block the sun. Perfect day for a hike, not so perfect for photography. I snap photo after photo anyway.
Back on my computer, the screen shows me what the camera captured: gray, monochromatic, dull. I suppose that IS what it looked like.
I am not satisfied. It is not a good representation of my memory of the day. I load the picture into Lightroom and play with the settings until the image matches my memory.
I mess with the other photos similarly.
Ta da!

love the color contrast
lovely, and intriguing…seeing with our emotions…that’s got me thinking about how, too, our emotions arise out of what we see…
lovely! wishing you a wonderful holiday season of “seeing with your emotions”!
Where is this place or is it a secret?

Totally cool! Love what you have done in your Lightroom so that we, too, can see how you have seen! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had that capability, that skill, to share with others our deepest perceptions. Shedding the Light on it enhances everything!
Wow! How do you do all of these including the snowing effect? I am impressed… 🙂 and love to see your pictures from memory and enhancement.
Beautiful pictures. I’m always saying to my sister”I can never make the picture turn out like what my mind saw”
PS sorry about the bad English….;-)
I like the first one, too !!
I love your treatment of the winter pictures!
nice photos and commentary
Marvelous! Thank you!
