Default Path to the Beach (and a few more)

As I was driving I seen this lone bike on the path to the beach. Here are a few flowers I seen also.

Well done, Frank. Great colors on the third one, but the sunflower is always gotta be a favorite.

Great shots.
I have an a-100 too and never seem to get the colour richness you do. Do you shoot in raw? If you shoot JPEG, what are your colour settings?

Thats a lovely selection Frank, especially the path through the sand dunes and the lone bicycle which particularly appeals to me, excellent job

I shoot in JPEG most of the time. I bumped the sharpness to +1. I use Adobe RAW too start my editing then PS to fine tune. Hope this helps.

I was thinking of you Beach when I seen this.

Thanks for all the comments

Frank

Here is a B&W

What program do you use for editing your images? Not all my shots are good right from the camera. I always make a contrast adjustment.
