Edit Sunday #2: One of my favorite shots to take - long exposure at night. South Beach, #Miami is perfect for this. I liked this edit so much I made it into a Preset - will discuss this more in my IG story, where you can see the full editing process.
••
Some car with ridiculous rims rolled by and created this cool effect - shutter was left open for 15 seconds. First is the edited shot, and second the original. Again, the editing isn’t VERY heavy, but enough to make the picture pop a bit more.
••
Some people asked me how I know what colors to bring out, how to change highlights and shadows, etc. The truth is, there is no one right way to do it.
••
There are definite no-nos (DON’T oversaturate), and certain adjustments that are always useful for different types of shots, but the truth is, a lot of editing comes down to personal taste and aesthetic. I like a certain color palette, usually tinged with blues and purples, for example.
••
That’s why two photographers can take an almost identical original shot from the same angle at the same time of day, and end up with two very different images that evoke different responses. So play around and get creative!
