Description
Lucky there was some early morning mist which as the sun rose passing thur the trees created light rays. This is 3 bracketed shots at 1 ev apart to cope with the contrast between the light and the dark woods. Raw files were taken into Lightroom Classic for basic colour and exposure correction and the exported to Photoshop as 3 layers. Luminance masks were created from the base layer and used to combine the Darker and lighter areas from the other 2 images, Colour cast removed and a few more curve adjustment layers with Luminance masks to control the overall look of the image. A Orton effect was added to the lighter parts of the image, Dodge and burn layer to adjust the the dark and light areas were needed. Dust removal and a small Vignette to parts of the image. Used a telephoto lens so as to keep to the paths as many people and dogs had trampled a lot of the bluebells.
