This photo was a fun...kinda moody shot...from the wedding I shot last week. We escaped some rain under the walking bridge in Piedmont Park (beside the dog park). Under the bridge there is this awesome, colorful painted wall and the bridge & groom wanted some shots with it as a background. Since we were under a bridge, and it was raining and cloudy, the shot came out pretty dark. With only some simple editing, the final product is exactly what I had envisioned.
Editing Process in PSE:
1) I adjusted the levels, lightening the mid tones and whites a bit. I also slightly pumped up the blacks to accentuate the shadows.
2) I saturated the colors on the walls and the green in the trees. The colors were pretty dull because of the clouds, so this added a bit of drama.
3) I used Paint The Moon's Baby Soft Skin (on a low opacity) to smooth the subjects skin just a little bit, and Twinkle Eyes to brighten and pop their eyes.
4) I then dodged the highlights and burned the shadows to add a bit of depth and dimension.
That's all folks! Pretty simple editing, but a HUGE difference. I am so happy with the final product! Thoughts????
