Mike's Farm

DavidS

Our family took a trip to a place called Mike's farm a few months ago. (Yes I got behind on processing my images.) We went on a hayride, visited some animals and ate at a great family style restaurant. Here are a few of the shots. I tried some new presets in Lightroom. C&C welcome as always.

I really like 1st shot, 2nd, not too crazy about processing, but tractor looks good! 3rd shot is pretty good as well.
Thanks for posting these, sounds like you all had a great time

Nice shots David. I especially like the processing on #4.

Thanks for commenting. I like the tractor in #2 as well, but wasn't as crazy about how my daughter looks in the shot.

indeed. It's a simular problem in #4 also I think(to a lesser extent). the post looks great on all the stuff(the wood, the hay, the rusty tractor all look great), but I don't think it accentuates your daughter well. Also wheels are cut off in 1,2,4 but you don't need me to tell you that. Otherwise, I think these are pretty nicely composed.

Those are cute shots. I like the PP "vintage" look in the couple that you used the presets on, but I'm not crazy about the skintones in them. I think vintage is so tricky to pull off.

I agree. I love the way it makes the "stuff" look. It did not do so well on my daughter. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks Jan. I am going to continue experimenting with these presets and a few others. I think it takes just the right picture to pull it off. I love the way the tractor and wagon look, but not so much my daughter.
