Ok so once in awhile I like to go crazy with the processing! I took a few bracketed photos, merged them in Nik HDR and used a very subtle setting. I then opened it in photoshop and added some sharpening and added some secret sauce.
Abandoned in Miller/Knox Regional Park – Richmond

Sans the toasted sesame seed bun. 🙂

However you serve it I’ll take it!
May 17, 2016 at 1:40 pm
With a smile! 😀

Me too… does the secret sauce come in bottles 😀 😀 If so can I order a crate.. it is beautiful Laura.
May 17, 2016 at 12:00 pm
Well done Laura. That’s some secret sauce 😊
May 17, 2016 at 1:29 pm
Thank you! I’m kinda saucy! 😉

Port Costa is also a massive building graveyard
May 17, 2016 at 1:31 pm
Yes! Funny you mention it. I’m going to create a camera club even there soon.
May 17, 2016 at 1:32 pm
Oops I meant I was going to create an event for Crockett.
May 17, 2016 at 11:00 pm
I lived in Crockett in the mid/late Seventies. There was always something fascinating and intriguing to photograph.
May 18, 2016 at 6:42 am
Yes! I went there once with some friends to take photos. Time to go back!
May 17, 2016 at 2:06 pm
Now THAT’s an image!
May 17, 2016 at 5:18 pm
I like the effect, very nice shot!
May 17, 2016 at 5:22 pm
WOW! Great capture and sensational edit Laura…..you had me at abandoned!!!!! lol

I’m having some success with Nik HDR.
took me a while to get used to it.
works so well with three exposures.
May 18, 2016 at 6:40 am
It does take a bit getting used to. It seems like there’s not a lot of flexibility at first but there really is.
May 18, 2016 at 4:44 pm
Agreed. So much better than the old photomatix
May 17, 2016 at 7:39 pm
Very interesting photograph. I really like the editing. Golden
May 18, 2016 at 6:41 am
Thank you. 🙂 I liked the golden too. It’s hard to show a sun almost blinding you without being blinded in taking the photo.
May 17, 2016 at 7:55 pm
Darkly saucy and foreboding! 🙂
May 18, 2016 at 6:41 am
I love that description. Shall I had the laugh to go with it? BWAHAHAHAHA
May 17, 2016 at 11:21 pm

May 18, 2016 at 6:42 am

Lovely shot, Laura. Like it.
May 18, 2016 at 4:26 pm
Thank you Bob. lmao
May 18, 2016 at 7:39 pm
Bob down to you. Ha, ha.
May 19, 2016 at 7:37 am
LOL
May 18, 2016 at 4:47 pm
Very nice love the atmosphere the photo has.
May 19, 2016 at 7:34 am
Thanks so much Terry. I love abandoned buildings. Usually they are in areas where I’m fearful of going so I was happy to see this.
May 18, 2016 at 5:36 pm
Wowser, I love it 😀 Keep being crazy!!
May 19, 2016 at 7:34 am
I love that word Wowser!!! Thanks Sarah. :))
May 23, 2016 at 4:31 pm
It’s my go-to word whenever I’m blown away by something 😀
May 24, 2016 at 7:25 am
Love it!
May 24, 2016 at 3:53 pm
I hope you find the odd occasion to put it to use 😉
May 24, 2016 at 4:04 pm
I’m sure I will!
May 24, 2016 at 4:12 pm
😀
May 19, 2016 at 6:42 am
Looking smart that, I need to have sessions where I do some effective post work on images.
May 19, 2016 at 7:38 am
It takes so much time doesn’t it. But it’s so fun! Thanks Chatty. 🙂
May 20, 2016 at 2:29 am
Fantastic image, the secret sauce has worked a treat.
May 20, 2016 at 6:16 am
