It’s Evolution Baby!

 
Ok…couldnt resist taking that Pearl Jam line.  But it’s appropriate.  🙂  Wanted to make a quick blog post and share a little before and after, only separated by about 6 years.  So as we learn as artists (read: humans) our tastes evolve, our skills evolve, even computers evolve.  I know when I first really started shooting seriously that one of my main problems was that I couldnt get the photograph to look how I wanted/experienced.  Fast forward 6 years and a lot has changed.  The last time I touched this photo was probably about that long ago.  Lightroom, which I predominately use, has updated drastically as well as my techniques.  That being said here is an image I took in Nov 2008 at sunrise along the east side of Kaua’i.  There’s actually some I still like in the old edit but the new image, albeit edited fairly quickly, has a more refined feeling to it (at least I believe).  Both are true to the scene however give a different feel to the sunrise.
 
Much thanks and hope you enjoyed this jog down memory lane 😛
