Early on Sunday morning, Father's Day, I was downloading photos from a Dropbox folder Jordan has shared so he can upload the photos he's made with his phone. I copy the photos and videos to a hard drive and create a back-up for him so they'll be home and safe when he gets back.
He's been travelling in Southeast Asia since January and I've been able to connect with him through his posts on Facebook, frequent FB messages and the odd video call. Missing him during this, the longest time I've gone without seeing him, I found connection in looking through his most recent batch of photos from Vietnam, not in any first hand familiarity with the location but vicariously through his images and his view of a far away land.
I decided to process one that caught my eye ...

Those following my blog posts may recall my rant about Google and their Nik Collection plugins. With Google recently confirming, through a statement buried on their website, that there will be no further updating of the NIK Collection for future OS or software update, the collection will die a slow death. The plugins will slowly stop working as Windows and Apple OS are updated, as Photoshop, Lightroom and other software are revised ... shame. Shame on you Google for killing a great piece of processing software.
With that in mind, I decided to make good on my promise to learn a new plugin / software before I'm completely shut out of NIK. This week's image (by my son) was processed in OnOne's Photo Raw using the basics in the develop module and effects module.
