Salvage Saturday

[Ben Egbert]

Time to pile on with your reprocessed images.

Today I am going way back to film days with a couple of seascapes

Both images taken April 1991 on Kodachrome 64 Nikon FE

I am helping my grandson load up for a move today so my comments may be delayed

 

[Ken Rennie]

The 2nd image is excellent Ben

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Nice job on these, Ben, getting rid of the reddish tint of Kodachrome 64.

 

[JimFox]

Very cool Ben! These are great film images. My favorite is #1 as I love that channel and also the partly formed wave in the middle.

My salvage job for today is from a trip driving up the Oregon coast in January of 2003 with my fairly new (at the time) 6MP Canon D60. The shot is from the area of Meyers Creek south of Gold Beach. The original wasn't the best exposure to begin with:

But with some careful work in Lightroom and a bunch of edits using TK8 in PS it almost makes a nice sunset shot:

Nice pair of captures - looks like the Yachats area with the pillow basalt formations.

Tremont, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN (October 2008) Nikon D300 and 16-85mm lens. Re-edit of RAW file for color and shadows/highlights as well.

 

[Ken Rennie]

Firstly from Nov 2012, Olympus E-410. Reprocessed with a different set of visual values as well as better software and IT. One of the problems of shooting here is the almost complete lack of foreground interest. I even saw a you tuber find a small fallen tree, drag it into the lake, prop it up with stones and take photographs.

The same location but Nov 2015 and a Nikon D810 this time. Ken

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Not really a salvage but some IR shots I reprocessed trying a different look.

John I would be very tempted to remove the tiny bit of sky, it would improve (IMO) this already beautiful image. Ken

This image was originally taken for the larger mix of flowers. I didn't like the image when I looked at it after getting home, so it has been sitting in my archives. After looking at it a second time I saw the pink Monkey flowers and decided to try and isolate that. Here is the original and the salvage.

Wow, had to search around the original to find it! Did you use GigapixelAI for the enlargement?

I did not, Dan. The mage was sharp enough to get away with just cropping and enlarging it.

I really like that third one, Ken.

I think these stand alone just fine w/o the traditional foreground. My faves are the last two

This was taken in late March of '09 on an anniversary trip to Mendocino. About 2 weeks after my other Calle Lily shots near Carmel.
I spotted these on the way to our accomodations at the light house captains place (turned into a B&B). So naturally had to get up at sunrise to chase these.
Should have bracketed as the highlights & shadows
My framing skills lacking, I think the tree is too prominate-middle. I've tried some crops but it loses the mood

This is really nice Alan. In 2003 I was still using a Nikon 990. These old images hold more info than we realize.

Thanks Jim, this was my favorite as well.

It is Yachats Alan, and one of my regular places.

Lovely image John, I would never know this was re-edited, it looks so fresh.

Ken, I bet these were beautiful before the re-edit, but I am glad you did and showed them here.
