I couldn’t sleep last night.  So, I worked on another blog, decided to look at some old photos and came across these images from a day trip to China many years ago.  I was not very good back then, and the slides showed it.  And to make it worse when we first started scanning slides there was not a lot of info about how to do good scans, let alone to anticipate the need for larger files later.  A couple years ago I would have just closed these files and put them away.  But now with the advent of Adobe Lightroom and the use of some great WOW Presets I was not only able to restore colors but to also use it (LR) to see different renditions of the same files.    While not advocating it as a replacement for creatively looking while shooting I do think it helps open your mind to new ideas.  Now it’s time to get some shut eye……
