The Inexpensive Way

Buy Print

A few weeks ago I did a presentation of free and inexpensive photo post processing software in the photo club I’m a member off.
Here I made a quick walk-through of Snapseed from Nik Software, just to show how easy and quick you can give you photos a pretty nice look.

But judge for yourself, because today’s photo is the one I made that evening.

Welcome to My House

This is a part of a house I stayed in when I had a 14 days tv-shot on Bornholm in May 2007.
Bornholm is the second easternmost point of Denmark (Ertholmene is the easternmost) and it is the only place you can find clifs in our little kingdom.
There is incredibly beautiful on Bornholm, especially in spring and summer, but “unfortunately” too many people (tourists – Danish as well as foreign), while there in winter, are almost no people at all, beyond the approximately 43,000 residents living there. I was visiting there a winter some years ago, which is actually really beautiful, if it is a winter where there is snow, but I must say that there is absolutely nothing happening ….. Who said winter depression!

The photograph is made with my Lensbaby 2.0, from an overexposed RAW file (The Nikon D70s can’t light measure with a Lensbaby lense), but I found out that it would give a very cool effect when you want to make lomography photos with your DSLR camera.
I imported the photo into Photoshop where in RAW converter I sat the exposure setttings to -3.0 (or as lowe as it can go), to pull down the above-illuminated areas, and get back some details in the highlight. it is subsequently converted to black and white and I added more noise and did some small adjustments here and there.
