šŸ“ #progress reminders are beautiful things, a year ago I wasnā€™t at the level of understanding how to take this kind of #photo as a #manualimage . But now, Iā€™m at the stage where Iā€™m playing with low #isos , #apertures and #exposures that seemed wildly foreign before. Really just enjoying the journey of it all, doubt Iā€™m going to reach a stage actually where I go ā€˜yep, I know it allā€™. Thatā€™s the beauty of genuinely loving a hobby, right? The idea that youā€™re going to grow as that industry/area develops further āœØ

These shots were shot on an iso of 200, at f1.8, which kept the shutters open for about 60-70 seconds it felt. The first one, shot on bulb, was horribly white. But the secondā€¦that was the first time in #lowlitphotography Iā€™ve ever looked at the image and felt proudšŸ™ŒšŸ»

The beams of light emanating from #bayon temple in the distance are clear cut, with the moat that surrounds #Angkorwat temple illuminated well in contrast. In #postediting #colourgrading I hit these ones (in order) with purple, blue, and brown mid-tones. Apart from that, I didnā€™t go over the top with altering much of what you see, bumped the shadows up a little to show you the boat sitting on the water, a little #contrast to make the colours pop. A touch of #saturation while still remaining #realistic to what my eyes saw šŸ“ø
