Challenge - Use of Light Nov. 12 - 14 2020
Good evening!
I have chosen "Use of Light" for my challenge. What I want you to think about is how light makes or breaks a photo. Lets face it... you can't have a photo if there is no light but even with minimal light you can take fantastic photos. Show us the many ways of photographing a scene or subject by making sure the light is right. Or if you took a photo and if the exposure was not what you wanted then show your edited version. There are few photos that are perfect straight from the cameras, but in post processing you can often get what you saw. If you think about it, you took the photo because of the light that caught your eye.
So lets see your photos and if you wish, tell us why you took it and what did you do in post processing to get the finished photo.
Lets see what you got and most important.... have fun with it.

Use of Light..
The First Image is the original, from a drizzly foggy morning out with my Hubby for some fall color shooting.
The Second Image is the edited version a lightened some areas and darkened others with the burn and dodge tool.I also boosted the structure which added some light right where I wanted it..
Thanks for doing this Challenge, Sharon! It's always good to see you!

Here’s one from Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone. Fairly harsh light coming in so I created a pseudo neutral density filter effect in Lightroom to tame it a bit.
