#28. Post Editing & 365 Project 9-15

I've been editing my photos in Lightroom, and trying to make my photos look good. I almost always add vignettes. While editing my Christmas photos, I found myself raising contrast and saturation in a lot of my photos, but they did look a lot better. I've also been trying out a lot of the Lr presets. My favorite so far is Color Preset 2.

Here are my photos from my 365 Project.

Keighty in Norristown. A car turning left shone light on K80's face.
This might be one of my favorite night shots.
