Orlando at Twilight...


Twilight provides a wonderful opportunity for cityscape photos, such as this one taken in the downtown Orlando area. During the week, the office lights are still on creating a more interesting image. Passing cars create trails of light moving throughout the city. What do you need for twilight photography? A tripod, remote release (or your camera's self timer) and a great vantage point.

I used Nik Viveza 2 to enhance the color and detail in this image. This plug-in couldn't be easier. Adjustments to color and detail can be placed where desired by using Control Points. I enhanced the Structure in the buildings and brought out selected areas with color. The darker shadow areas were brightened using the Shadow Adjustment slider. Now I'm done, I can go take more pictures! Happy Friday...
