Check out this gorgeous SOOC shot from Selena at Stoneyville and Selena Stoney Photography. Gorgeous couple, gorgeous lighting--so fun to edit!
Okay, my plan was to go for a warm, vintage look. And since the shot was pretty awesome SOOC, I just decided to have fun with it. Here are the steps that I took. And if I missed one (I probably did), I apologize. I loved the composition of this photo so I just cropped a tiny bit off of the right side (making sure not to cut off that pretty flare--Oh I heart flare) and added just a tiny bit more to the left so that the couple was directly in line for rule of thirds. I pinked and yellowed up my photo using the white balance sliders in lightroom. I also played with fill light, contrast, shadows, lights, darks and ran a preset called Trusty (from M4H) and brought into photoshop and ran sunshine and a pastel pink haze over the photo adjusting the opacity to about 30% for each. Also after all of my edits the shadow between her blades started to look really muddy so I smoothed that out in picnick using a cloning tool and airbrush. (So sad picnik is closing;().And just for MORE fun, I did a couple of black and white conversions trying to keep that old school look. . .
Thanks for looking! :)
