Messing with sepiatone and tinted files

I am discovering that there is more to digital imaging and processing than taking photos and spending time on the laptop - you can go back to those original RAW files and mess with them all you want. The sepia and tinted looks are more or less an extension of b/w files with some artistry thrown in the mix.

These Ross Farm files were captured on May 5, 2009, on my 46th birthday - they seemed to be ideal for this effect. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Magnificent winter day at the Farm!

There are times when all the elements just seem to come together for great images - light, weather, subject material and the photographer's ability to see. Never taking all the credit for my own work, Saturday's visit to the Farm seemed to be the ideal scenario - but where was everyone? Nonetheless, I went about and did my usual thing and even was able to go for a sleigh ride and get some interesting captures with the 12-24mmm/SB-800.

I am glad I am comfortable and proficient with flash, it's simply another great tool to capture images.
