Back from San Francisco

9. February 2019

I just got back from San Francisco and as you all know, I love this city.
There are a few reasons why I love it so much.
Number one is most probably because it is a walking city. There are a lot of good restaurants and there was so far zero where I did not get good food; this is probably number two. There are many more reasons for me to visit this place.

I took some awesome black and white photos because of the fact that it rained quite a bit. Wait – what does black and white has to do with rain?
Indirectly nothing, but there are usually a lot of cool cloud structures that add a lot of drama to the sky!

Lightroom Tipp:

Whenever I create a black and white photo in Adobe Lightroom, I use the following settings to start with:

  • Switch to “Black & White” mode
  • Decrease “Highlights”
  • Increase “Shadows” (both of them quite a bit)- Increase “Whites”
  • Decrease “Blacks”

And now, this is important

  • Increase “Contrast”
  • Decrease “Exposure” slightly

Readjust “Highlights” and “Shadows” to make it feel good.

  • Do you want to learn photography?

    Do it with me and jump over to my store. There are several eBooks and presets I have been working on over the past few years – no kidding, it took me quite some time to make all this happen! And I am still working on it, there is more to come!
