Jabiru | DRIVING AUSTRALIA

Due to travel restrictions we have ended up paying more attention to attractions close to home.

In July we had a camping trip to Lorella Springs Wilderness Park in the Gulf Region of the Northern Territory.

More recently we had a midweek trip to Kakadu National Park.

I realise how fortunate we are to be able to travel while people in other areas are under much tighter restrictions. I hope these photos encourage people to plan and look forward to their next adventures when travel restrictions are lifted.

For this assignment we were to check our landmark photos from Days 21 and 22 for colour casts and remove them using the tools in Lightroom or ACR.

As I have been unable to complete those assignments due to Covid 19 restrictions, I practised on some recent photos taken at Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve near Darwin.

I experimented with Auto and eye-dropper tools in Lightroom with some interesting results. Overall, Auto on its own was too extreme and needed tweaking and the eye-dropper results depended on the neutral area selected.

Here I am showing the original, one of my attempts and the end result for four photos.
