Steve Buffington
One of the most unique sunsets I have seen David. In fact, I am still trying to figure out exactly what you did to achieve the effect. Great job.
David Friederich replied
Hi Steve,
The original raw image was very dark. It was the last image in the 25 image set, and was shot when there was little light left in the sky. I processed in Lightroom by increasing exposure, and playing with the curves sliders until I got the effect I liked. I increased the Vibrance settings, too. The image was cropped and straightened slightly as well. That was it. I am glad you like this one, and thank you for commenting.
Steve Buffington
Thanks David. Appreciate the technical details.
