Come Sundown

Come Sundown

I woke up this morning and was pleasantly surprised to find the weather making a mockery of the predictions for the area of Hampshire I live in. Fantastic because I really did think I would be spending 3 hours in the wet on my mountain biking today. I took these shots on my way home from a village called Binsted. I've discovered that buying a Leica camera means you have almost no need for Lightroom at all beyond image management. While trialling Lightroom 3, I've found the image adjustments to be of little use.  So much so that this image above is just out of Capture One PRO after a white balancing and changing the colour profile to that of the Leica M9. Every change I tried using Lightroom simply made the image look unrealistic.

The one above was processed using Silver Efex Pro and bears little resemblance to what I saw. I guess hounds would disagree. There are some seriously old buildings around this area, and unfortunately they are not on public property or I'd love to take some images of them and send them back in time. Both of these images were taken with my Leica D-Lux 4.
