Springtime blooms
« Reply #-1 on: April 28, 2015, 11:38:53 PM »
After seeing some nice pictures that Smokin Don posted - I thought I would share some pictures from the yard here. My wife is the gardener. I am merely the labor ;D

So, out on the deck the view of the Little River Valley


This is a redbud bloom. They are tiny, and interesting up close



These are some of her azaleas






And a weeping cherry



Dwarf peach trees




Yellow Magnolia


The gazebo and pond are coming to life again

A boy and his (latest) new toy.  I can't wait to see your food porn with the new camera.

Thanks all!

Something I need to figure out is - if using JPG files - then reducing/compressing the files in order to fit Photobucket - then LTBBQ is "flattening" my images. The original field of these shots - even as JPG files - are sharp...I mean razor sharp. And the colors lose a little something in the process too....so I am still learning how to manipulate the images, so that they have the same "pop"when I shrink and re-post them.

Any ideas and input welcome.  I am trying to avoid processing raw files via Lightroom....Just more work. And - the pics straight from the camera are usually so good - that it seems un-needed *IF* I can find a way to preserve the qualities that make a good image.

Very nice.... Spring has sprung for sure.... Good luck with the photo manipulation....  Will the camera re-size the picture before you transfer it?
