Lonely Farmhouses

Did a visit to the UK during August, but I keep coming back to this image I took during a visit to Wales. We visited the Blue Lagoon, on the Pembrokeshire coast. It was a rather dull day, but walking up the hill and looking back, I was drawn to the picturesque farmhouses and the field behind.

Editing notesThe image out of the camera was a bit dull, and there were modern vehicles parked in front of the buildings, which distracted from the lonely look I wanted. Edits in ON1: I used perfect eraser to remove the vehicles Globally increased saturation and vibrance, and used the curves effect to apply a slight S curve Standard highlights reduction and slight shadows boost Applied the Branagh LUT at 30% opacity Added dynamic contrast to the field to reveal the tracks from farm equipment, and to make the power polls more prominent Added local masks using the super select tool to add structure to the farm buildings Did a sky replacement using the Storm 008 sky Used the color mixer effect to warm up the field Used a Deep Forest glow at 30% Added a modified Big Softy vignette Original camera settings - taken on Sony A7IV, ISO 125, 1/400 f/7.1, EV -0.30 with a Tamron 50-400 lens
