This weekend I decided to return to some images I shot last summer at Old Taylor Distillery. I felt that I had grown greatly in my skills with NIK HDR eFex Pro 2 and wanted to see if I might improve on my earlier versions. I also wanted to make some corrections to the lens distortion with Photoshop CS5. I’m better satisfied with them after this round of processing and feel that I’ve learned a lot from going through this exercise. Just like using the camera requires constant practice to master it; using post processing software requires practice to become proficient. It all comes back to my manta “Practice, Practice, Practice” the more a photographer uses the tools of his/her craft the better he/she becomes.

One more shameless plug for my upcoming HDR workshop later this month here in Louisville. If you want to take your HDR processing to a new level this workshop is for you.
I’m so glad you went back to these photos, Nick. I definitely see the difference! That first photo is stunning. I can see the beauty in it.
As usual, great stuff Nick.
Thanks Jerry as always I appreciate your comment. I am writing these posts to help others as well as to make myself reach for a higher bar. Thanks again.
nice!
Great job Nick…really loving the “pop” of colors! Practice, so right you are.
Thanks Phyllis I’m happier with these images this time around. A summer of editing has paid off in more understanding and skill with my software.
