Two tips to talk about today. The first is a pretty obvious one: wait for the eyes. This shot would be okay if the dog was looking down at what he was munching on. What makes it great is that while he’s chewing, his eyes are on me.
The second is the grass. That grass looks nice, doesn’t it? It’s lush and green, the kind of grass you want to lay a blanket out on and have a picnic. That’s not what it looked like when the picture started. The sun was bright and the grass looked lime green. Once I went through my normal processing procedure of boosting saturation and tweaking the curves, it looked down right nuclear. Easy fix? Head on down to the HSL section of lightroom and slide the luminance down on that green channel. Instantly your nuclear grass goes green and lush. The Outlaws would be proud.
