An exercise on landscape photography. These shots were taken during Fall 2019 at a park nearby but I haven't post-processed the photos since then. I mainly used Lightroom to edit these photos.
As we can see, there are solid black 'vignette-like' element on the corners of this photo. This is my ND filter's adapter ring and it became visible since I was shooting at the shortest focal length (10mm). I mainly reduced the highlights and whites. In addition, I also increased the saturation of blues to achieve the cold Fall look.
The second photo is a bit darker than the first. In this photo, I increased the shadows and blacks. Basically the same photo in terms of composition as the first one, but the settings are different.
I saw a mushroom growing on a stump. I have always been fascinated with mushrooms in the wild. The photo suffers from distortion on the bottom part (which is inherent in wide angle lenses). Nevertheless, the mushroom stood out and came out sharp. For this photo, I bumped the contrast and saturation a little bit.
