Original

Treatment #1

Treatment #2

Post-processing can be so much fun. You can do so many different things with a single image. I was recently playing around with some HDR actions in Photoshop on an image of the Payson Utah LDS Temple. The differences between the the photos was stunning and amazing. The first image is the original with only basic RAW conversion tweaks. The second and third are using some actions I found on InkyDeals. They are fun and very dramatic. Let me know which you like the best out of the three.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A SERIES OF A SINGLE PHOTO WITH DIFFERENT TREATMENTS.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.
I love playing around with post-processing. Your original photo has an almost surreal quality to it but the other two are so dramatic – I love how these actions really showed up the sky.
Thanks!
I really love the original, Nancy. Your edits are very interesting to see, and certainly do add some drama.
Thanks, Sylvia. I think my favorite would be somewhere between the original and first one. I like the darker sky, but I love the shine on the temple in the first one. 🙂
wow…this is one of my favorite things to do. Your edits are fantastic!! The last photo is so dramatic!
Thanks! It’s a lot of fun to play around with images. It’s a bit addicting for me. 😉
Since I have discovered post processing, I cann’t live without it :-).
I think I like the third one the most, very dramatic.

They’re all beautiful. I’d say my favorite would be your original! It’s so fun to edit with some of the different programs now! 🙂
Thanks, Linda. I’m thinking of trying to combine the brightness of the temple in first image with sky from the second one.
Ooo, that would have to be gorgeousest! (Like my new word?) 😆
I think it’s fantasmagorical!
Good one! 😆
😉
That’s a stunning picture! I didn’t have anything to compare with it.
Thanks, Marilyn. I love seeing your photos and your interpretation of each theme. 😃
Lovely shots and processing. Mine are a bit different but fit the theme. https://3rsofretirement.com/2017/03/18/a-photo-a-week-it-all-depends-on-what-you-want/
I prefer the last one, very dramatic!
Thanks! I like them all for different reasons. I think my favorite would be somewhere between the original and second one. 😃
I always love to see how people change up their photos here’s mine https://dailymusing57.com/2017/03/19/a-photo-a-week-challenge-photo-filters/
Your photos are so beautiful Nancy.
Here is my attempt.
My pick is treatment #2. Feels like darkness is fading away as blue sky is making its mark.
By the way, the original is awesome 🙂
Thanks, Hammad!
Hi Nancy 🙂 this was such a fun challenge. Your photos are beautiful. I like the original image and the last image the most. 🙂
Thanks, Erin!
