[bhagathkumar]

This shot taken at Muttom(A small village near cape of comerin,Southern tip of india) .Near my native place...Myself and my friend went beach for a evening walk..While returning ,saw thich..Bright lights people inside ,made me to take a shot(Actually i took 3)

So Original here:

From kanyakumari_Day1

Post processed:



The Process:
1.Took it in RAW ..(the original one is from direct conversion to JPEG)
2.Load it in lightroom , added exposure .local contrast ..a bit saturation ..and clarity that's it.
3.Load the edited image in PS-cs3 .Do a slight s-cure ,Change the levels to the scen more visible
4.Crank Hue /saturation to get required color depth
5.Apply lens distraction filter to make edges dark.
6.Apply unsharp mask .get Edges more visible.
7.I used Dfine to clear off some noise.
8.Put some clear border.


I think the most important steps are contrast,unsharp mask and Hue/Saturation changes.

Cheers,
