Cloudy weather = picture time!

It was really cloudy Friday evening, so I figured it was time to go for a drive and take a couple of pictures:

Great pics KF - wonder what the picture would have looked like with the wheels turned towards the viewer?? Intimidating, I bet

Nick - have you moved at all over the weekend??

You will be getting pics of my torso in Dubai in 2 weeks.

Then again in Turkey in 4 weeks

You are multi-talented KF

Based on an assumption.. what post-processing is involved to get photos looking dramatic like that?

Never dabbled in Photoshopping but interested to start.

Car looks stunning by the way.

I'd guess HDR, some saturation and maybe a graduated filter to make the sky darker

Most of the sunshine during the day was provided by this scooby Mad as a box of frogs!!!

Thanx. All decent photographs have some degree of post-processing these days. I started off with a graduated 8-stop neutral density filter on the lens. This helps produce some of the dramatic skies. The post is done mostly in Adobe Lightroom. Some tone-mapping, curves and levels adjustments as well as some clarity and selective sharpening. Using the right tools and learning how the individual adjustments affect the image as well as developing a recipe for your overall style is just a matter of practice, dedication and perseverance.

Very interesting, thanks for the insight.
