Fresh Fruit

Back in Hawaii – near Waikiki there is a small farmers’ market with fresh fruit. There’s a lot going on in the picture, which is all great (everybody is doing their own thing), but I wanted to focus on the man chopping the coconut. So I found a preset to use and then adjusted itContinue reading “Fresh Fruit”

I had to decrease the noise quite a bit because I think I took this with my phone. I did a mixture of adjusting the highlights, shadows, blacks,Continue reading “Waikiki Moonrise”
