Last evening the autumn colors were in the sky! Heidi joined us for a sunset cruise on our boat and we were presented with glowing clouds filled with amazing colors. I only brought my Fuji X100S along, nonetheless a beautiful shot. Folks comb the island this time of year for New England foliage photos and all we have to do is look towards the sky. Here's the final shot:
Autumn Sunset, Mount Desert Island, Maine
The raw shot from the Fuji:
In Lightroom:
- Increased: Contrast, Vibrance, Saturation
- Decrease exposure
- Increased the area with hints of blue sky with the color picker
In Nik Color Efex Pro I used the trio of Tonal Contrast, Skylight Filter and Detail Extractor for the final image.
