A few random shots that were taken at a Charleston shrimp boat pier. These were all taken around the time I was first moving to OM Systems gear.

I have gone into files looking for unpublished images that I can use as a test / practice while learning the ON1 Photo RAW editor. I still think Lightroom is the gold standard, but the speed and stability of ON1 can’t be ignored.

First here is a typical scene. One of the locals, an Egret, boarding  shrimp boat looking to steal a snack.

Brown Pelicans follow the boats back to the piers. As the shrimp catch is sorted out plenty of scraps are pushed overboard. I specifically wanted a shot like this to see how the masking worked when selecting the ‘back ground’ function. Glare on the water is always  problem. The result was OK.

Last was a white bird against the sky. A ‘subject’ mask. Actually that was better than expected. This was a mediocre shot that should have been deleted. ON1 easily found the bird, the normal sliders worked just fine.

None of the images above had anything difficult done to them. That was the point. These are shots I would take on any given day. ON1 did what was needed, quickly, and easily once you knew your way around the program a little. Editing software is never simple 😆.
