Salvage Saturday - 6/17/2023

Kyle Jones · Jun 17, 2023

I have a both a rework and a newly processed image this week. Pile on with yours.

1) This was the first image I shared when I joined Focal World. The original version blended 3 sky frames for noise reduction. This new edit uses only one sky frame along with a longer exposure for the ground.

2) Original version

3) This is a sunrise in Botswana that I had never processed. My goal was to bring out the colors in the sky without blowing out the sun.

Nice start - I like your milky way rework but the Botswana sunrise looks like a serious wall hanger. Beautiful.

My salvage job for today is from a roadside stop along CA1 in Sonoma Coast State Park, California. It was a fairly gray day and the original image was a rather bland capture of the coastline looking south from the Rock Point Beach area. Livened up a bit between LR and PS to add some interest.

A drone image from eagle river area in Alaska. The normal profile had blown highlights. Switched to a linear profile and got this result.

Foothills Parkway, TN (October 2010) Nikon D700 I re-edited with my new "go-to" DxO PureRaw 3 software and then finished editing in PS/ACR.

Ha, recognize Sharkfin cove!
I think you nailed the Botswana sunrise

Seems my goto salvage is a B&W conversion.

This was in Yosemite, across the river from House keeping camp
This is a colorfilm shot that something was wrong, either I underexposed or left a filter on.. Who knows.
The clouds had some character so here is the conversion.

Very interesting Kyle. I am actually thinking I like your original of Sharks Tooth best. I think the core got a bit too bright in the rework. And I like the darker overall feel of the original.

I will be late, but I will see if I can get a chance to do a Salvage later today.

Thanks for keeping this going, Kyle. Sorry I am a little late with this. My contribution is from Toroweap Point at the Grand Canyon.
