Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Very saturated color. You punch it up in post or did you set your camera to shoot it like that? Or maybe you just have better light up there?
8 Sep 2009 9:07pm
@Twelvebit: Thank you! I adjust the contrast in PS but not too much. I choose bright colours to start with when photographing so it's easy to "spice" them up later on...
@PShorten: Thank you
@Laurent: Thank you :))
@Azarakhsh: Thank you
