I surveyed my garden for some tangible hints of the impending change of season and only found some subtle signs - tender red branches on the Maple, some buds forming on the Lilac and Viburnum bushes.
This week's theme at 2Peas is Before and After, showing the effects of Post Processing.
I Post process as little as possible, because I don't want to spend a lot of time in front of the computer (I do that enough at my other job!). But I recognize the power of being able to manipulate the image files and love the effects available.
Things I always adjust -
White Balance. Because I am too lazy to take a preset.
Exposure / Levels. Because my camera tends to underexpose.
Straight out of the Camera:
Adjusted WB, Exposure and I added some sharpening.
Any comments / critiques are welcome!
