Strengthen the Sunlight with Photo Veils {Photo Recipe}

Posted on the 01 June 2014 by Ninabille @ThoughtsImages

Summer and the life in the Great Outdoors has arrived! The nature is in blossom in the forests and by the lakes. 
We are cherishing the moments in the sun - and I am capturing many of them, making the memories last ... 

I wanted to strenghten the sunlight in the upper right-corner of the photo below using photo veils, and this is how I proceeded:



Photo recipe:
  • I increased slightly the brightness and the contrast of the original image.
  • Thereafter I added the following 3 photo veils:
    • Lemon Glow Right from the Illumination Collection, blending mode soft light with 100 % opacity. 
    • Sunshine 4 - Top Left - Vertical from the Illumination Collection, blending mode soft light with 30 % opacity.
    • Light (a veil that adds a natural vignette to the photo), also from the Illumination Collection, blending mode soft light with 50% opacity. I brushed this veil away from the top-right corner, to sustain the sunlight effect.
Photo Veils from the Illumination Collectiong will add a natural, warm light-effect, strengthening the sunlight in your photos. 

Let's enjoy the moments in the nature and make most of the season for outdoor life 

- capturing these moments as they unfold ...
