Re: Today in pictures
 

Been busy myself g,I had a old version of Lightroom but due to buying a new laptop I'm now software free (apart from windows editing), I've checked the settings and my camera does have a WB setting ("incandescent" being the lowest).

Feel free to run any pics through your software if you've got the time I'd be keen to see what the difference is....thanks :)

here are two from the rejected shots

I've had a quick play with it in Cyberlink Photo Director 5 adjusting the white balance

Cold, miserable, and snowing out ... how about some quality tummy rub time.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It defiantly looks better with the WB adjusted,I've ajusted the default setting on my camera to incandescent,hopefully my night shots will less orange now :o

Looks like that cat needs to lay off the munchies....unless it's all fur ;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Well, there is a lot of hair, but also lots of cat. But I do have her on a see-food diet:D Thing is, when Emma showed up on my front porch she was skin and bone, matted fur, and a motel for fleas ... I much prefer her the way she is now.;)

Turns out adjusting white balance on a jpeg isn`t very effective (compared to RAW), so just to show what a difference getting it right can make these are a few old night pics of mine with different settings.

1. Cameras auto WB
2. Custom WB (set with eyedropper in LRoom)
3. A few more adjustments, contrast, clarity, exposure etc.

Nice ones

Re: Today in pictures
 

I like all those shots.

I agree with Eric. On this cold, snowy typically Canadian winter day, it's best to hunker down and enjoy indoor pursuits - starting by making a fuss of our furry friends. There's a chicken roasting in the oven, Miss Pris is ticked off that I'm not spending enough time with her, (she's looking quite fluffy in the tummy!) and the ongoing hallway renovation is well, ongoing. Stripping off the old wallpaper revealed a Valentines Day message from 20 years ago - don't remember who painted it, me or hubby. It doesn't matter. Last week the thermometer got below minus thirty. it's not that cold right now, thank goodness. Oh I almost forgot, Mr. and Mrs. Goose plant themselves every day at the bottom of my feeder. I'm glad to give them a bit of grub.
Cheers, all!

Has Bash got a wickerman?
Somebody has been creative up Priestly Clough near to Rising Bridge.
It will be nice to sit there in the warmer weather when it arrives.
And on the creative vein saw this VW up on Mill Street in Bash, plenty of tlc gone into this project.Attachment 47252

Ma had a leaflet put through her letterbox telling her that there is improvement going on in the Priestley Clough area..pathways are being upgraded and the general environment is being improved....she lives on Riley's hill....so it is close to where she is.

There is a VW restoration place on factory bottom (Victoria Street)

Re: Today in pictures
 

We parked up on Nuttall Street and there is a sign heralding the work being done as you start off up the old railway. Theres a noticeable improvement to the paths but the winter debris and leaves all needs clearing away.
Came back down Royds Street and then cut left along Hudson Street, I hadn't realised the scope of the work being done to modernise the area. I used to live at #5 Hudson and was surprised to see that and all the other properties have been knocked back to bare shells.
