Using lightroom, you can set the import to "punch" in the presets, and it will automatically do it for you to some extent

Thanks, again. You have to understand as a novice i do not see the enhancement possibilities on my RAW's. I need time to learn and i am doing this by watching your contributions and playing with light using my new cam. I love how i can manipulate the picture adjusting shutter time, focal length and ISO settings. I never use the automatic option in my cam anymore.

I might add Fracuredrabbit has been an insightful help as well .

Now i prefer things RAW. And i love the dead bugs on the windscreen to add to the atmosphere..

I like the serenity of the clouds in your pic, Shaggy.

Moody clouds

Is this what they call blanket clouding?

Remember the old adage,

The camera never lies, but the photographer can!!

I used ACDSee for this one and most of the others as well.

I am with you Learnalot. The K.I.S.S. principle works with me

This is why i won't even start with photoshop

Why should you?

Been there, photo it and still came back empty handed due to the fact that me photos were taken in Raw+Jpg, so just showing you all my unfinished ones.

One day I will get around to me Raw stuff and then .................. all 'ell will break loose.

Win, who else could post such tripe.

'nuff said, so lets get on with the clouds shall we

On the roads around Chiang Mai

Buriram 1999

How unreal it may seem, how real lingering clouds can change reality in a snap. The diversity of sober greyness, blanketing green serene life in this picture has caught me.

Last evening as a storm approached.

Little big hill clouds.

Clouds of Wats? Maybe I will just post it here. From today's mt bike ride.

North Samui today, looks like rain coming but nothing yet!

Cloud iridescence from last night in Phrom Phiram, Phitsanulok.

Two hours later we had the heaviest rainfall so far this year.

Corn Clouds.

Felt like posting something cheerful today. An old shot of mine from Phaya Mengrai.

Strolling around Bangkok, caught the cloud reflection in the building (B&W).

Mountain temple clouds.

Maenam Koh Samui 2013

This morning it was extra cloudy

@KW: Easy&simple can often be very difficult to capture.
