Crazy Christmas Lights

  Sometimes the season feels like this. See yesterday’s post for the cure. I had a lot of fun playing with the tree lights, long shutter speeds, and movement. Looks like a funky neon sign! The original was neat, but hazy. I decreased the contrast and vibrance and increased the clarity, whites, and saturation. IContinue reading “Crazy Christmas Lights”

The original was an ok photograph, a little dark, but I decided to make it look a little bit vintage and add some focus onto the flag. I used twoContinue reading “Team Spirit”
