The Skies Are Dancing Over Stonehenge

The Skies Are Dancing Over Stonehenge
We spent a day at Stonehenge and Bath over the weekend… I knew not to expect much in terms of photography at Stonehenge since we wouldn’t have arrived at Stonehenge till late morning (by which the sun would have been too high to provide the dramatic light I prefer for landscape photos). Nevertheless, the skies put up an interesting cloud pattern over the ancient stone circle just for a short moment. All I needed then was to take the picture and then post-process it in Lightroom for that extra oomph that I was missing out on due to the flatter lighting of the day.

Colourful Performer

Colourful Performer
Theatre and dance are part and parcel of Balinese culture with the Barong dance being one of the most familiar dances that most tourists visiting Bali will encounter. Taking pictures at these dance performances is never easy. For the above shot, I was happy with the expression that I managed to catch but I didn’t really like the distracting background of the original shot. In the end, I decided to do a little post-processing to tone down the background and bring attention to the colourful performer and her expression.
