I love it when I can rediscover a photo taken several years before and I am able to reprocess it in a completely different way, not to mention the fact that I’ve sharpened my skills and the tools have become much more powerful now!
This was taken in Yakushima, Japan 3 years ago. I loved the place for its incredible atmosphere but I felt I wasn’t able to do it justice with the previous version. Hopefully, this is closer to how I felt then.
For those who are curious, I’ve uploaded the unprocessed photo in the comments. Taking the photo is only the first part and gives you the canvas. The post-processing part is needed to give the photo some character! Don’t let algorithms of a camera maker decide what your photo should look like!
