Serenity

I found this beautiful waterfall while roaming the Japanese pathways of an incredible garden in Florida with my Leica X1. In Lightroom I played with the lights and darks of the photo and then decided to apply a B&W filter to create a tranquil mood. I also aimed to give the water a mystical look as it raced down the falls and then slowly drifted off down the river…

The Eiffel Tower’s Breathtaking View

This shot was captured with my old Nikon D40 from atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I was very excited when I took this shot and finally got to edit years later. Applying my knowledge of editing in Lightroom, I used cross-processing presets, adjusted much of temperature, colors and tones, and used the golden ratio while cropping.
