Shutter Mike Photography

This photograph was taken at about 7:30 pm on September 10th.  It is the west side of the Mesa Arts Center looking east.  The light boxes rotate through a palette of colors including those shown here as well as greens and yellows.

I shoot most of the time with the RAW/Jpg option so that I get the full effect of the uncompressed RAW image as well as a jpg.  For this photograph I did do a little Photoshop post production work on the RAW file.  First I changed the white balance to tungsten. This made the colors and the rear lit wall stand out more.  Next I increased the color saturation some to also really make the colors of the light boxes pop.  Finally, I did an auto adjust on the levels.  I don’t usually do much in Photoshop other than some cropping and “blemish” removal, but I think the end result of this photo turned out well.
