Oloneo just extended their current Beta version of their software to December, and I remembered that I had wanted to experiment with a single image in their software and see what lighting possibilities there were, so this week I chose a photograph that I had wanted to do some minor lighting adjustments and colour saturations to. As Oloneo can work directly with the RAW file I actually got quite a lot of noise in the process, and I then used some noise reduction before uploading.
As a stand-alone RAW processor it is not bad at all, nowhere close to Lightroom, but then nothing is. I like the slider controls and I would recommend it for HDR work, and if you like experimenting, it has a unique “Relighting” HDR feature, for controlled shooting conditions, check out their site if you get the chance.
I only took 86 photos this week, but for the small number I had a slightly hard time choosing one, I think it is just because of my experimenting in Oloneo that I chose this one 🙂
This was taken at Diamond (village) on the East Bank of Demerara, the cane fields are in bloom, the sun was about to go into its daily descent for sunset and some of the clouds were reflecting the sun’s glow nicely. Oloneo stripped out the EXIF information from the file, I hope they fix that in the final version.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Another bit of software you have to do a review and tutorial for? 🙂
I usually have a similar problem too with choosing an image when I shoot only a few, but 86 Mike? That is a very low number. I averaged 142 per day!
Gorgeous!! I love the reflection from the clouds above. I might like it better than your striking night sky. There is a nice balance and creative lines that I love!
Thanks Martina, it’s not very inspiring, but it has a sereneness that appeals to me 🙂
It is wonderfully serene and a very strong recommendation for this software – very beautiful.
Thanks Cindy, try it, its in free beta for now 🙂
very nice. I would be interested in knowing how much the software changes the original.
Hi Michael, yes I like it too. Reflections are great! The only images I shot all weekend were portraits nothing cool like this! Enjoy your week mate.
Thanks David, I think that all I got this weekend were photos of my daughter 🙂 Have a great week, thanks for stopping by.
Love the reflection of clouds in this composition. There is a great contrast between the blue skies and lush green grass in the foreground.
Thanks Sasi, the colours, the clouds and reflections were what drew me to the scene 🙂
