Kyoto Rain
I was walking along a historic, stone-paved street in Kyoto’s Higashiyama Ward in November of 2024, pre-dawn. A young girl was passing by, and I asked if she could take a few spins for a photograph in front of the famous Yasaka Pagoda. The camera is hand-held.
Post processing notes:
This photo is exclusively edited in On1 Photo Raw. Surprisingly, the color is pretty close to how it was. The sky, however, was flat, so I added some clouds to give it more drama. The sky/cloud replacement was time-consuming; it had to be manually masked. Filters: Photofilters to balance areas of color Blur Motion to soften areas Weather to add visible rain Split tone to emphasize the blue/orange values. Noise ReductionExif information:
