I enjoy nocturnal landscape photography and when I saw Marks post I felt I could have some input into my style. My main thought process revolves around White balance and 'temperature of light" . Marks image for example was taken in extremely cold conditions during a really harsh cold spell here in South Africa and so I based my workflow on that. I did it in LR 4 , resized and sharpened with LCE in CS 5. I used adjustment brush to remove colour cast on some trees but no major changes through out. Original WB setting 3900 K as shot , my point 2935 k .Anyone who would like the LR4 preset is welcome to email me and I will send it . Again its a personal starting point for me with most cooler night images. I have cropped the image to remove some issues and also cannot remove the pixels of blue and red you may see. The original file is not 100% but its a great attempt. The point of this is to share my vision of the scene
