I get asked about the sun flares in my photos a fair bit, so I figured I would do a SOOC (straight out of camera) post showing what was captured in camera and what was added or emphasized in Photoshop. This is a shot from Emma + Gennaro‘s bridal session last October that I absolutely LOVE.





There really wasn’t much to be done to the image, the landscape itself is pretty breathtaking (honestly, the photo doesn’t even start to do the area justice, I don’t think any could). All I really did was brighten up the shadows and do a simple overall sharpen (before is on the left and after on the right).
