My daughter, "taking in" Mt Rainier last weekend. K-30 with Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. Beautiful day, it was.

Beautiful pictures! I was wondering how much postprocessing you did on these. Could you please describe your workflow?

very minimal. contrast boosting + highlight/shadow adjustment. minor graduated filter for the one with the stone. K-5 dynamic range is astonishing. just by lowering the highlight and increasing the shadow, I could see all those mountain lines..

Thanks!
I played with exposure, shadows, and highlights a little (to taste) in Lightroom and then ran them both through Nik Color Efx Pro. I usually apply some of the Brilliance/Warmth filter and some Detail Extractor in varying amounts until I like the look.

Thanks for your response. Postprocessing is what I struggle with (well it is my secondary problem after being a bad photographer). I am simply overwhelmed by the postprocessing options (even though I do understand the technical side of it). I tried to play with free software (RawTherapee, GIMP), though I rarely go beyond adjusting levels. Typically I can not do better than straight-out-of-camera JPEG. (The above picture I have posted is an example). Interestingly enough I can appreciate when someone else does a good job (to my taste) at PP, but I can not reproduce it simply following my taste.

I would appreciate if you could be so kind and play with the RAW file from my image and show me what you can do with it (if you think it is worth bothering at all). I have uploaded the PEF file here: Filebin - Tag p0k0cmgzzn
