The sun has set on this little Shire run of photos the past six days. Time to say goodbye for a while. But for the last one, I wanted to shoot the extremely photogenic Green Dragon Inn along with the bridge and the Mill. I just had a couple of teeny problems like (1) The lighting was blah (2) The construction wasn’t finished. Guess what? I can’t wait for six months to come back later. It’s not like I live down the street. And I can’t come here four days in a row at sunrise and sunset waiting for spectacular lighting. What to do?
Time to shoot in raw, bust out Photoshop, and craft a photo art piece. Everyone raise his or her glass to hashtag “CreateYourOwnLight.” I know there are some haters out there who don’t like people messing with photos. That’s cool. I have complete respect for photojournalism and authenticity. But the truth is, most people want awesome photos. And most people want awesome photos at a very specific time. And that is a huge differentiator and how I sell jonathanphotos service to clients. “You have to have it shot August 5th no matter what—even if the lighting is blah. Well, it is always easier with spectacular lighting. But don’t worry, even if the lighting is blah, I can create my own light.”
Quick summary of things I did. (1) Made a spectrum sunset and dropped it in. (2) Added lights to the buildings. (3) Added smoke to the chimneys. (4) Added green grass and shrubbery to the lakeside. (5) Added mirror reflection to the lake. (6) Removed signs of construction.
