A few weeks ago while on a week holiday in Dunkeld I photographed this old home. The image was taken with a Singh-Ray Gold-N-Blue polarizer, hence the strange colour cast. I processed the file in Adobe Lightroom followed with some tweaks in Photoshop CS5, using the content aware feature to remove the power line. Then back into Lightroom for the final crop and a couple of graduated filters. The shot was not taken under ideal light, in fact it was very poor light, but serves to show what you can do with filters and modern software. Before and after images below.
