For my previous birthday, someone very important to me had the brilliant idea to find a neon. It is proudly hanging on the wall of our living room. This neon contains three words, which basically describes what life is, eating, drinking and dancing !
Yesterday we were coming back from a picnic and the sunset was already kicking in. But I realized for the first time that the reflection of the neon through the windows, plus the sunset, was giving an intersting result.
A few seconds later, the photo was ready.
The original shot
Here the neon is a bit too bright. As you can see, the plants in the room are visible. It makes a nice supersposition, but needs to be improved. How I do not know yet.
Post edition
Annnnddd here we go again. Let’s find three editings of the same picture. Let’s find three different ways of retouching the image.
For tis first version is, I have simply reduced the bright lights given by the neon. The sky needs some improvement. You cannot see it here, but there was a huge amount of small night flies everywhere on the window…
Also I have reduced the plant reflection, by increasing the black and dark in the shadow areas.
For the second shot, I decided to give a warmer ton here. Yes it is sunset and yes we are in summer (almost). So it is quite obvious to try an editing with more orange colors. For this one I decided to keep the plants very visible.
The last version is has a clear Miami vibes ton. WHy not adding and turning the colors into pink ? That was the image give a strong neon effect. Yes it gives a colder style, but it does not matter here.
This edit is my preferred edit !
And you what would you do ?
