I am considering a new kind of party, post processing and RAW editing party, a RAW file is shared, we do our best to make the best post processing possible.

I am starting with a picture of my own anyone interested in submitting pictures for the party is welcome, I think twice per month is reasonable.

Here's the first RAW file to edit

I gave it my try, coverted via DXO 10 then added a ND grad in photoshop

 

here's what I got, let's how you guys would have post processed this picture

I don't think I will meet your taste

 



 

And - although I don't like to comment on the picture itself as it is - I really wonder what makes you going for f/16 and throw a lot of possible sharpness away? f/5.6 would have given you DoF from 1.4  - ∞ I don't think, anything in this landscape was closer than 1.4 m to your camera?

I did just what you asked, same location, no clouds... so I took it a little late,

I think I caught a meteorite here

Used three light sources, my friend's mobile phone and his mamp to the  left (he was actually packing his ger to leave) plus two handheld flashes I was firing repeatedly on the rocks

I'm pretty sure, I didn't ask you to go there on a different time when there's no sun on the rocks and and use artificial lights to create... an artifical picture  Sorry, toni-a, we do have a very different taste.

Hey, I was there on time. However the sky was very clear, took many pictures, chose this one because of the meteorite 😉, will add them to my gallery although nobody is looking there 😞
