This is the second of two circles, The first was shaerd on 16 May here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103236949470535942612/posts/FPsHj9E2QEo. The circles have been divided alphabetically to help give more exposure to people with fewer followers and shared at different times to help keep down the stream saturation.
Please plus, comment and share. This circle has no requirements for future participation but your support and encouragement is appreciated.

Hi, everybody, this is Cedar Falls in the Hocking Hills area near Columbus, Ohio.
Canon 5DMKII ISO 100, 38mm, f/11@90seconds, 10 stop ND filter
Imported into LR4 and opened in PS6 general maintenance removing bright spots with Content Aware Fill, sent to Color Efex Pro4 and used Tonal Contrast filter at default settings, but zeroed out effect for all of image but tree limbs on right...they needed contrast. Back to LR4 bumped up exposure almost 1 1/2 stops so it would not display too dark in Google added tiny vignette. Exported.

Good morning Googlesters and my dear Breakfast Club diehards! We are in the grip of winter so oatmeal is called for, piping hot with your choice of toppings and there's hot coffee in the kitchen...enjoy.
Lower Falls in the Hocking Hills area of southeast Ohio.
Canon 5DMKII ISO 100 32mm f/9.5@90seconds
Imported raw file to LR4 exported as Tiff to PS6 removed some branches in pool just right of falls, then sent to Color Efex Pro 4 and used default Tonal Contrast filter to sharpen edges...then opened in Silver Efex Pro 2 and used neutral preset to convert to b/w. Back to LR and used adjustment brush to tone down rocks right and left of falls and to enhance dimensional lines in foreground water. Export to G+.

Hi, GooglePlusters. Black and white rendition of recent post.
Middle North Falls in Silver Falls State Park near Portland, Oregon.
Canon 5D MKII Iso 100, 17mm, f/13@.7sec.
Same processing as color image then reopened in Color Efex Pro 4 and used Tonal Contrast filter. This brought out definition in the falls quite nicely.

Good morning GooglePlussers from rainy and misty Oregon. This is Middle North Falls in Silver Falls State Park.
The usual blah, blah, blah in processing...except experimented with the Tonal Contrast filter in Color Efex Pro before converting to black and white. This gave me the contrast that was missing because of the mist and fog. Special thanks to my friend +George Gasser for pointing out contrast problems in a private post.

Arising from the Deep
Good morning all you GooglePlusters and Breakfast Club friends. As we approach the holidays I think we should sip a glass of egg nog today. When I was a child I used to have it almost every day during the Holiday Season.

Good morning Googlesters and Breakfast Club friends. A couple of my G+ dear friends are having troubles today...I would like to dedicate this image to them as a small token of my solidarity with them in their time of need.

Imported raw file to LR4 and opened in CS6 to get rid of a couple dust spots. Back to LR4 bumped up clarity a bit and exported to G+.

Good afternoon Googlesters and you Breakfast Club stragglers. Today for brunch Mac and cheese. I know, I know...even my doctor says get real, but with enough catsup anything tastes good.
Early morning in Acadia National Park, Maine this October.

A little magic in Silver Efex Pro 2 that's basically it.

Hi everyone, sorry I'm late and have not been posting much to you, but these Communities have me in a spin. Maybe a shot of rum for breakfast would clear things up.

Good morning GooglePlusters, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Joshua Tree National Park in southern California.
Canon 5D MKII iso 100, 24mm, f/9.5@1/180 sec
As usual I imported the raw file to LR4. I use raw because it contains all the unedited information in the file. If you shoot jpeg your camera processed the image. You can dictate the settings, but the camera's processor is not as powerful as your computer.
Then opened image in CS6 and did a levels adjustment to increase contrast. Brought the white slider to the base of the pixel mountain and the black slider to 10.
Back to LR4 and then to Silver Efex Pro 2 where I chose High Structure (Harsh) preset. Then back to LR4 and exported to G+. Less than 5 minutes spent processing.

Desert morning
Good morning from the Joshua Tree National Park in sunny and warm California. I am here in Palm Springs as a volunteer for the PGA Qualifying School so I don't have as much time as I would like for photography, but I hope you like what I have chosen today.
Canon 5D MKII iso 100, 24mm, f/8.0@1/180 sec
Imported raw file to Lightroom 4, opened in Silver Efex Pro2 and chose preset High Structure (smooth) which really brought out the sun star. Saved to LR4 and did a (-33) vignette. Cleaned my sensor so no dust bunnies to remove. I use Visible Dust's Arctic Butterfly. Highly recommended.
