St. Michel, France #2



Another view of St. Michel.

This pic was taken during dusk, and the preset I downloaded from the Internet added very nice color to the pic and enhance the dusk feeling.

Mont. St Michel, France



The preset function on Lightroom let you preview the effect of the modification, in a flash. It's very convenient when you have a lot of photos to edit with. WIth the thousands of photos bring back from my France trip, I wouldn't border to process this pic with any special effect if not for the preset function. I LOVE IT.

Taken at 11am, while the sun is shining at a very unpleasant angle. I choose the b/w preset so to avoid the hash color of the mid-day sunlight.
