I would love to see a tutorial on how you do this. I really love the color in the beach photo. It looks a lot like color toning but different and more original.
I am with you on editing, I have an idea in my mind's eye and I can only get so close with the camera, post processing gets me the rest of the way.
BTW, after looking at two of your posts, you are a must follow.
Cheers!
Thank you! These were a result mainly of me messing around with camera calibration in Lightroom. But I tend to mess with every setting available just to see how it affects the image.
Here are my settings that pertain to color.
Still not 100% sure on how it works, and it's easy to go too far with it, but camera calibration gives an interesting look. I find shifting the blue hue works for a lot of landscapes. I'll further go in to refine the colors using the HSL / color settings. I frequently like my blues more cyan, for example.
Color toning I use a lot as well, especially with sunsets. Not a whole lot - just enough to add to the "mood" of the image.
