Software to the rescue

An evolving scientist has always been intrigued by this photo of his father. It was taken, presumably near their Croydon, Surrey residence. Was the horse possibly a third birthday present?

Time to experiment!

Using AdobeTM Lightroom ClassicTM, the photo has been considerably enhanced by tweaking contrast, clarity, highlights and ‘dehazing’. The amount of extra detail revealed is particularly satisfying.

 

This post in memory of my father, who would have been 110 years old today.

Lens Artist Photo Challenge : Wonder

I have been fortunate to visit Saint Petersburg twice, once each in autumn and spring! I never fail to be filled with wonder by The Alexander Column, located in the centre of Palace Square.

The column is a single piece of red granite, 25.45 m (83 ft 6 in) long and about 3.5 m (11 ft 5 in) in diameter.
