| Sunday night fall |
Shooting in raw has been amazing for me. I am one of those people that like when my photos are like, really unnatural looking. I mean, you see regular life with your bare eyes. Be it fisheye photography, massive amounts of light, or HDR, I like to make photos look more unusual than life. Maybe that is why I am so bad at street photography!
Anyway, as a brand new Adobe lightroom owner, I have been playing around with my high contrast capabilities by playing around with highlights, contrast, and shadows.. I am using some photos taken during a walk to my grocery store as a case study. These are still basic capability changes, but I have to start somewhere. I think they look amazing, but I hope I wont regret jacking up the contrast in the future when I am trying to remember what life was like in Rancho Bernardo
Its notable that these photos were taken at near nightfall.

Taking a picture of a gas station cigarette advertisement reminded me of some of
Flo Fox's stuff.

| The contrast tool really made the pavement pop in the reflection. I love this Photograph |

| This is what the photo looks like in camera, but there was enough ambient light for this one to not need much post processing. |

| The vibrance tool helped bring the blue out of the sky. |
