Background<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I was walking through the Arb for the first time, trying to get fall-themed photos. It was probably around mid-October and I just walked into what I believed is called the Praire part of the Arboretum. That’s when I saw this guy right here!<\/p>\n

Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Camera:\u00a0<\/strong>Nikon D750, lens 18-200mm<\/p>\n

    Editing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    I decided to go quite simple with editing, I really like the colors so I pretty much didn’t touch them except for some slight color saturation for green. For the “spooky” touch I added vignetting and higher contrast<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Exposure: +0.80<\/li>\n
    • Contrast: +40<\/li>\n
    • Highlights: -30<\/li>\n
    • Shadows: +9<\/li>\n
    • Post-crop vignetting: -18<\/li>\n
    • Temperature: 5,447<\/li>\n
    • Texture: +5<\/li>\n
    • Clarity: +5<\/li>\n
    • Green Saturation: +8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      And here you can see the before & after:<\/p>\n
