I am sorry for the lack of new content here and on social media! I have been undertaking a couple of massive projects related to my Post Processing Mentorship Program. First, my Lightroom Catalog was in excess of 1,000,000 images and lacking keywords, culling, and the organization I desired. Second, I have been recording and working on the Post Processing mentorship. With 13 out of 16 sessions recorded (including one bonus session) I have over 20 hours of training content thus far! I have covered Lightroom Classic, Photo Mechanic, sharpening and noise reduction with DxO PureRaw and Topaz Photo AI, HDR conversion in Nik Collection's HDR Effex, and black-and-white conversion in Nik Collection's Silver Effex. This mentorship program is an exhaustive training for all nature photographers!
One of the fun aspects of culling all these images is discovering images I had forgotten about or had not even seen! Like the penguin shot from the Galapagos Islands! I am heading there in July with Wildside Nature Tours! I am taking Izeane along with me and this will be her first out of Brazil vacation! If you want to join us, I have a $500 off discount code (LEEHOY)!
Here are a few of the images I found:
