The Star-Spangled Banner
We were in Washington D.C. visiting the Smithsonian museums. This stunning art piece of our flag took up an entire wall. The lighting was perfect for giving that “star-spangled” effect.
Post processing notes:
I edited this photo using ON1 Photo RAW 2026.5. My goal was to preserve the colors and the way it was lit up. The lighting in that room wasn't great, so it took a bit of editing to recapture what it looked like in person. I used a few filters to help, including depth lighting, dynamic contrast and a bit of color grading. I think it came out great!Exif information:
