[water] pool progression

This is SOOC. A little punch and it would be fine. But I can’t seem to stay away from Pioneer Woman’s Seventies Action. And I love it combine with David Ward’s Holga Black Border. I don’t want to lose the sky, so I bring back the Seventies action to 50%.

Then I think the clouds and sky may be a little washed out and I go back and do a neutral density filter on the sky. Then go back the Seventies & Holga Black Border. I decide to leave the Seventies Action at 100%.

But then comparing the two, the sky is just a bit too green. So I go back and reduce the Seventies Action to 50%.

By the way, all of this took me about 10-15 minutes. I love actions!

    I love seeing the progression–I have no clue on using actions, but I really love seeing how others do it. Really works with this shot!

    Good to see I’m not the only one that goes back and forth on applying actions (I rarely get it in 10-15 minutes though!) BTW – nice dof to your photo.
