The power of Photoshop!!
This is how my photo looked before all that editing. So without stalling, lets get to how it all started.
This was a photo I took a long time back, when I didn't know anything about a DSLR. So I just clicked with whatever setting was in that camera (it wasn't mine).
The shot was was kinda over exposed with the sky being too flat & colorless for my liking :(
So I never even looked twice at this photo.
Recently I wanted to try some new methods in Ps using gradients, dodge & burn, smudging, color look up & what not.
So comes this photo; the sky was a total washout, couldn't salvage anything even though the image was shot in raw.
So I googled for some good sunset shots & found an awesome one. But the foreground in my original shot was too bright & the hue was not matching with the colorful sky. So played again with hues & contrast in the foreground.
It isn't a perfect finish, an experienced eye could spot a truck load of mistakes in my editing. But I kinda lost my patience to do all the finishing touches.
I think it came out alright for my first try with all these. Phew, who knew there was so much I could do in Photoshop.
Well, as the saying goes, what I learnt right now is just a handful.
Gotta keep learning. Days well spent with a constant dose of learning; medicine, photography, editing, illustration, craft & lots more.
So much to learn. So little time....
P.S. I don't do these kinda edits in my photos. And I don't ask for Google's help either!! This is all just for fun.
