For my edit of my Thanksgiving sunrise photo, I went with a basic settings edit. I love the softness of trees in the SOOC shot, but I felt like it was competing with the colors of the sky and that was what I truly wanted to capture when I snapped. Therefore, my goal with the processing was to make the sky color a bit more vibrant allowing it to pop more. I upped the blacks, contrast, exposure and recovery and another beautiful silhouette was born! I think I may have an obsession with silhouettes. Yesterday I posted two similar pictures taken months apart, I thought I would do the same thing in this case. Then you can judge, is my obsession getting out of hand?
Thanks for stopping by!

Wow, I think it may be official! I have a silhouette problem. I guess there are worse obsessions to have :o).

Oh, but they are all so beautiful! Keep shooting them!
ReplyDeleteAll of these are so beautiful - absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSilhouettes are beautiful but challenging. I love yours!
ReplyDeletehehe... nope! It sure looks like silhouettes are your thing! You sure have some awesome ones! love the first few grass shots. I'm loving how you kept your edit clean -- although I'm barely seeing a change -- maybe try to up the vibrance more to make the colors pop a touch more! :-D
ReplyDeleteI too love silhouettes. My favorite is the shot with the cattails. Very pretty!
