testing out the new micropost feature in MarsEdit 5

The blogging software I use just came out with a new version (MarsEdit 5.0) and it has a new feature for microposts. Just giving it a whirl!

woodland shots and colour grading

A short, naturally-worn length of log lying in a woodland area.

A brownish Eastern gray squirrel clutching the side of a tree and looking at the camera.

A dirt road winding among a wooded area, with sunlight peaking through the trees in a few spots.


I experimented with colour grading on my last batch of photos. The main thing was to try and tame the bright greens of tree leaves (photos were taken in the Summer), which after applying my standard Camera colour profile in Lightroom look a little unnatural. See the shots above to see what they look like with this colour grading applied (click for gallery). It’s not exactly realistic, but I think it looks pretty nice. Not sure if I’ll take it this far again, but it was fun.
