Capturing a stunning night photograph of St Andrews, Scotland was the goal. The challenge was to create an image that was artistically cropped and presented. Using Adobe Lightroom, I set out to achieve this goal.
The first step was to adjust the exposure, contrast, and clarity to create a more defined image. The next step was to correct the color balance to ensure the colors were accurate and natural. I then cropped the image to create a more artistic composition, highlighting the beauty of the architecture.
To further enhance the image, I adjusted the highlights and shadows to bring out the details in the darker areas. I also adjusted the vibrance and saturation to create a more balanced and colorful image. Finally, I applied a subtle vignette effect to draw the viewer’s eye towards the center of the image.
The result was a beautifully edited night photograph of St Andrews, capturing the unique character and charm of this historic Scottish town. Editing in Lightroom allowed me to create a more refined and artistic image, bringing out the true beauty of this incredible location.
