Sunset Blues

This is from the same session as this shot. I really didn’t do much. Bumped the contrast up. Pulled the blacks toward “more black”. Tiny bit of saturation and vibrance to the overall image and then bumped up the saturation in the purple and blue range. I also applied some noise reduction due to the higher ISO value. This may sound like a lot of work, but it wasn’t.

I’ve cropped this one to fit a panoramic sized print. This is entirely selfish. I’m going to print this for my own wall. This may get me unstuck in my printing dilemma… I still can’t decide which shots to print. This one practically jumped out of the Lightroom grid, even before my tweaks.

Daily affirmation: Quit whining and smile. It will do you good to smile.
