Simiple steps to enhance your photographs
This week's quick tips are editing your RAW images in Lightroom. Always photograph and edit RAW images not jpegs, (RAW files record more detail than Jpegs).
The below photograph is from the series of my personal projects which has been edited in Lightroom.
Camera: Sony a6000
Aperture: f11
Shutter speed: 1/100
ISO: 200
Lightroom adjustments:
Temp: 5691
Contrast: increased to +12
Shadows: decreased to -12
Blacks: decreased to -7
Added graduated filter to darken the sky
Burn tool used to bring out the reflections in the water
Final image:

I always shoot in RAW, however it is important to edit your final images. Below are the two images that show before and after editing.

Simiple steps to adjust in Lightroom
I published a blog on the 17.01.2017 (A walk around the canal)
As mentioned in the post, I adjusted the image, see below for the before and after.
Image before adjustments
Final image
Increased Contrast +19
Decreased Highlights -100 (to retain detain in the reflection)
Decreased Shadows -100 (to bring out the shadows in the trees)
Increased Whites +33 (to bring out the whites in the boat)
Increased Clarity +10
Increased Vibrance +17
The above image was cropped
While altering the adjustments, always keep an eye out for the whole image, see in detail that other parts of the image are not getting effected.

I have started a few personal projects photographing the local landscapes, canals, streets and weather.
These are on going projects which I am working on. I have taken several different photos of the locally, however I will be editing one at a time and updating them on weekly basics.

Decreased Shadows -100 (to bring out the shadows in the trees)
Increased Whites +33 (to bring out the whites in the boat)

A walk around the Newbury Canal - part 2
This short article is a follow up from last week's article on the 'A walk around the Newbury Canal - part 1', all the below photographs have been taken with my mobile phone.
This is a close up photograph which has been edited on the mobile phone to increase the contrast.
This photograph was taken by the park, framed the shoot to have the buildings in the background with the swans in the foreground.
As I turned around, I saw the boat approaching, took this shot with the swan in the foreground leading all the way to the boat.
The ripples in the water looked interesting with all the colours and the reflections.
A close up of the trees and part of the canal.
All the above photographs were taken on my mobile phone, each photograph was just enhanced slightly to bring up the colours or converted into a black & white photograph. These photographs have been watermarked in Lightroom.

A walk around the Newbury Canal - part 1
I am always taking photographs either with my DSLRs: Nikon, Fuji, Sony or with my Blackberry. All the photographs have be taken with my mobile phone by the Newbury canal. There are so many photographic opportunities around us, we just have to photograph what catches our interest.
This photograph was taken looking over the bridge, I quite liked the fullness in the trees, the boats and the reflections. As I was looking through the camera, I saw someone walking towards the bridge, I waited for the passer by to appear in the frame before taking the photograph.
This photograph has been taken looking on the other side of the canal, with framing just the boats.
As I was walking further along the canal, the colours and reflections in the water caught my eye - had to take this photograph.
Not far from where the above photograph was taken, I spotted this bridge, the light was just amazing the way it was lighting parts of the bridge.
All the above photographs were taken on my mobile phone, each photograph was just enhanced slightly to bring up the colours or converted into a black & white photograph. These photographs have been watermarked in Lightroom.
Look out for the part two of 'A walk around the Newbury Canal'
