Reworking the Image, Finding the words
This is the second time I have processed this image, and I like it much better now.
The first version was too dull. The reds were too dark, and the entire photograph had a heavier, more ominous feeling than I intended. It seemed muddy and lacked the clarity I remembered seeing when I made the photograph.
Three Photographs, One Step Forward
Today I submitted three photographs to Alamy: Church Door, Greenhouse, and Pumpjack.
It may be a modest beginning, but it feels like an important one.
Each image had to be carefully prepared and examined at full size. Dust spots were removed, details checked, colour profiles confirmed, metadata inspected, and final JPEGs created according to Alamy’s requirements. After all that work, the photographs are now waiting for quality control.
