This week’s challenge is: Illumination.
So many possibilities, so little time. I went digging through the files and for this pass, (maybe only, maybe first, who knows) decided to go back to Akumal. A lovely moon rise.
This photograph was taken at ISO 3200; 18mm lens; f/stop 7.1; shutter speed 30 seconds; no tripod but balanced on a wall.
This is how it looked straight from the camera…
and (here comes the tech stuff) this is how it looked after moving the white balance from a temp of 3900 and a tint of 5 to a temp of 2850 and no tint, a slight nudge (+ 5) to the highlight tones; a push (+ 19) to the dark tones; removing (-100) the shadow tones and boosting the heck (+ 82) out of the light tones.
Some other Illuminations that you might enjoy…
There are hundreds of others – check them out!

Just one word Lovely….the first pic is just marvelouus. N wt i lobed most is how well u mentioned the setting ISO, Shutter speed n f/stop. As mentioning these values means u worked very hard with camera to get the desired output.
Thanks for visiting and remarking on my work ethic… Most people do seem to like the original better. I think I do too but the second one prints so well.
Very beautiful! In this case, I like the un-edited version more..
Most people seem to feel that. The second one makes a gorgeous print however.
thanks for the shout-out. so this is not the Hudson – saw the tag, “Hudson River” and “NYC.” beautiful effects!
Thank you. I explain my tags in today’s blog!

Very nice photo. Thank you for the pingback.
I did not understand one word of what you wrote but the photos are lovely.
I am so disappointed that you did not recommend my sculpture as a good example of illumination…LOL!
Give me time. I am a slow pinger.
It is a joke…my sculpture does not illuminate at all…but it is pretty. (not mine but someone’s)
Thanks for the pingback. I look forward to following your blog.
Thanks so much!
