- Sigma 10 - 20mm
- Cokin P154 (Tobacco Graduated filter)

Processing

1) Import into Lightroom as RAW
a) Clarity
b) Curves
c) Fill light
d) Blacks
e) Unsharp Mask
f) Noise Reduction
2) Export using Flickr Uploader and LR2/Mogrify plugin

    Did you happen to capture this evening's sunset as well? I missed it wtih the camera, but it looked spectacular tonight.

  39. Matthew Stewart | Photographer (40 months ago | reply)

    Ah no, I'm trying to curb my afternoon photo addictions (where possible hehe) - but I saw some nice oranges from here. I thought it might have been good going home, but was home too late from work to go anywhere.
