Salvage Saturday

[Ben Egbert]

Almost forgot this, so pile on with your reworked images.

This is fall in the Wasatch mountains a few years back. 2012 to be exact. It was never hard to process, but I far prefer my current method.

 

[AaronRashid]

It looks fantastic! It’s always fun to go back and re edit old photos. The tones in this are wonderful

Nice starter Ben - I do like the late fall palette on these foothills.

My offering is somewhat of a polished turd with an image taken in March of 2005 when Mt. St. Helens decided to have a steam eruption late in the day. I was working in a 7 story building in Vancouver and had access to the roof so I grabbed a pocket camera (Canon PowerShot S50) I had in my backpack and used the roof guardrails to steady the camera to take a few shots. The S50 was able to shoot in RAW and I did have it configured for that so was able to manipulate the capture quite a bit in LR/PS.

This image is from our best snowstorm this past winter. I worked on the crop and the lighting over a few days and finally came up with this.

Here is the original.

Here is the final.

That is a beautiful image, Ben. It has great lines in both the landscape and sky.

I like your rework Doug - a pleasing comp and no footprints down in front.

This reprocessed very nicely, I would not have guessed the camera was a P%S

Very nice image of a beautiful scene.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Lovely falls colors and clouds to complement that @Ben Egbert.

Great shot @AlanLichty of the plume. I am sure you would have loved to have a longer lens.

Nice recovery @Douglas Sherman. Getting the whites right with snow makes the image shine. No way out other than shoot in RAW and process.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Mine is a recent rework from Death Valley.

Great rework, you have the essence of Death Valley here.

Really great rework, nice and sharp.

I like how this shot brings out the colors of the jagged mountain slopes in the background. The mineral deposits are a natural kaleidoscope of color.

 

[JimFox]

This is one from March of 2003 with that small 3mp Olympus P&S I was using as I was starting to get ready for the digital age. The camera had a ton of short comings, but it was great to play with and learn on way back then.

From Joshua Tree.

Ben may not have intended this , and it was one day early. 60 mph, new boat, junk in the water

but Cody did salvage the boat
