my name is mwd: photos

I took a lot of pictures of Arrochar in the rain, and not many of them came out well. But I was watching a video of someone taking pictures in Iceland, where it rained a lot, and looking at how they processed their photos and thought to try revisit some of these. In the video they overprocess their digital shots in a way that isn’t to my tastes, but it did make me think that in these kind of conditions perhaps I do need to try pushing the photo around a bit more than I’m usually comfortable doing to get something that isn’t just drab and dull as it appears out of camera. In the video its interesting to compare the photo he has vs the video footage of when he took it - they’re quite different.

This one is a little soft due to the f/5.6 aperture, but otherwise has come out okay. The lighting is a little un-natural, which not that happy with, but it saves it being too muddy if I don’t bring up the shadows. But I do like the scene in the photo of Arraochar, with the hill overlooking it and the loch before it.
