Morning on the Mall

On the Mall

Before the snow fell, we all enjoyed a bright and cheery morning on the Nicollet Mall.

Good Morning America.
Hav the colours been 'tweaked'? they seem to have an 'edge'.

superbe la gestion des couleurs, cela rend vraiment bien, on voit bien chaque detail

Snow? Already?
Hard to believe when it's still in the nineties during the day over here...

HDR is such a fascinating tool...like the effect on this shot.

Colors are highly tweaked. This one is a Lightroom trick I learned, not HDR. The idea is for a gritty urban feel by increasing the Recovery, Fill Light, Contrast, Clarity, and Vibrance sliders all to 100%. Then slide the Saturation slider to the left until the colors settle down almost until it turns to monochrome, or to your liking. Next step is to darken the edges a touch using the Lens Correction and Midpoint sliders.

Snow fell? Nicely done. I haven't tried this trick before...
