吹吹风 | Windy Day

A place where kites fill the sky.
A park where families and kids fill their weekends.
Taman Metropolitan Kepong.
She pulls the kite, I pull the trigger, a windy happily evening.

  2. No good lah Hooi, I think many people also knows the trick. But anyway thanks!

    The layers are like this:
    1. BG
    2. Exposure Correction + Masking
    3. Light leaks (with just orange brush paint)
    4. S Curves (pop up the contrast)
    5. Color Balance (add a layer of orange to the photo)

    Done. Easy right? You also can do it! hehe...

  12. Thanks Kelvin and d0rr!

    Kelvin, what you mean now a days? I just PSed this series wor, and didn't I mention "PS once a while no harm right?" at the end of my post? I won't PS gao gao every each of my pic, at most of the time, I rather have them original. You can see from my previous posts.

    PS is a powerful tool, it can perfects your shot, at the same time also can destroys your shot. You need to understand your skills and make sure you dun overdone it. Never ever have the mind of "photoshop can save my pic" while you're shooting. Shoot the best pictures out of your camera, then later only think about how to perfect them in photoshop if necessary. :)
