I love this fun shot from Angie!!
I used one of my own presets in Lightroom to increase the exposure and play with the tones a bit.
original
I really liked the composition with the fisheye lens, so I didn’t crop it.
exposure = +.75
recovery = 70
increased fill light = 10
increased blacks = 5
I also increased the brightness and contrast by 50, and increased the clarity by 55.
Also increased the saturation for the following – red, yellow, orange and green – to play up the surrounding forest colors.
Finished it off with some tan highlights and royal blue shadows (with necessary adjustments to the tone curve). The name of the game here is to just play around with it until you like it, because the same adjustments don’t work across the board.
