I have started to get again interested in photography the last couple of years. My burgeoning interest died very quickly with the simultaneous demands of a new career and new family, back in the early 1980's. About 10 or so years ago I thought I should get something better than a little P&S, and got a Pentax. Problem was, I never took it off AUTO, so what I ended up with was a big P&S that I never wanted to carry around. I finally took some evening classes a couple of years ago, and again started to get interested. A good friend of mine is a great photographer, and has been very helpful in this journey, especially when it came to spending my money!
I've had Lightroom for a year or so, but have had only limited time to really try to play with it to see what it can do, and to try to get halfway comfortable with the gazillion different sliders, terms, etc. and especially trying to figure out my own workflow and catalog/storage system. Everyone I look at on line does it differently, which encouraged me that there was no real right or wrong way to do it. Just do it!
These are some shots I took in Albequerque NM last year when we visited my son. Really my first attempt at any post processing. The first two are in Old Town, and the third is out the Tram window on the way up to Sandia Peak.
There is some glare (or is there a better term?) in the lower left of the last picture since this was taken out of the window with the setting sun to my left. I could not figure out how to eliminate this.
Suggestions appreciated.
