These images capture a weekend walk in the forest, showcasing some fun not just during the walk but also with black-and-white processing in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. The initial processing uses the BW 12 profile, part of the LUT profiles provided by Adobe. The images feature aggressive HDR-style processing: highlights are strongly reduced, shadows raised to nearly maximum. Whites and blacks are also strengthened for dramatic effect. Additionally, texture, clarity, and dehaze settings are increased for even further intensity. Sharpening is set at 100 with a radius of 2, detail at 59, and a slight noise reduction, due to the use of highish ISO. All images were also treated with "dodging and burning" to strengthen contrast back. Further post-processing includes tonal adjustments using the tone curve, clipping both highlights and shadows on either side. To control the luminosity of orange, green, and aqua hues are adjusted to bring details back into areas affected by highlight reduction All photographs were captured with the FujiFilm X-T4 camera and a 33mm F1.4 R LM WR lens.
