Illuminating Illuminati
I was wondering around taking photos at a surprise 70th birthday party for a relative. Looking for scenes or objects that caught my eye. I saw this light fixture and thought it was really cool. When I got home and started playing around with some of my photos in ON1 Photo Raw, I started to get an idea of what I could make this into. As I got it to this final version, I imagined some ancient ritual in a shadowy, candlelit room. Something like a secret meeting of the Illuminati. Hence the title, “Illuminating Illuminati.”
Post processing notes:
I used On1 Photo Raw 2025. I experimented with various settings and filters until I got the lights to the brightness I wanted and the natural shadows to look more spooky and intimidating.Exif information:
