My Editing Workflow

This morning was very chilly here on St. Joseph Island. I woke up to sunny, clear skies with -15 C (about 3 F). However, the winds were calm and I bundled up to take my German Shepherd Lukas for his morning walk. When I got back, I was treated to some beautiful scenery at the lake.

So with this beautiful scene, I just had to break out my camera. There’s a price to pay for beauty like this… sore, numb and very cold finger tips while using my Nikon Z6 II to work the shoreline.

I then got the idea it would be cool to just film myself editing these photos in LightRoom to give you an idea of how I take raw images from the camera and transform them into these eye-catching images.
