The Little Store

A shot from our visit to Covington, Georgia at thanksgiving. Its funny, the shots of this store at the time I took it I felt would be the best ones I got while down there, in the end my shot of the bank I liked much more, so I never got around to doing anything with this shot till now, and I actually kinda like this.

The shot looks like a HDR, it is not, it was made to look that way in Adobe Lightroom by the very scientific method of bumping the recovery, fill light and blacks to 100% then backing off the saturation to -60ish. I used that as a base for some photoshop filters - channel mixer, selective saturation, curves & gradients.

I got chatting to the store owner while taking these shots, he was a friendly chap, I promised him I'd send him the finished result, not sure if it will be to his tastes, but a print is on its way to him!
