About the Image(s)
Our house is across the street from a Hindu Temple and each year we are invited to Divali with the great offerings and wonderful food. This year’s theme was New York City with the skyline in blue. There was a Spanish block with a taco place and tacos in front and a sort of Times Square with a little ball. The fake Wall Street feed had things like Jealousy -3.75 with things that were up in Gujarati. Technically, there are two holidays. One is Sharad Poornima, This celebrates the birth of Gunatitanand Swami (1784-1867) and the other is Annakut Mahatsov, which is the fourth day of Divali. The name means mountain of food. That includes 3,000 homemade suites piled into pyramids.
The camera was a Nikon 7 ii with a NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f2.8 lens at 14 mm.
When I looked at the settings, I was astounded. I don’t remember setting them like this and probably would not, thinking they would not work but they worked and this was handheld. ISO160 f/2.8 1/15. This was run through Topaz Denoise and Sharpen and yes, the Blue is that saturated. Started of with basics in Lightroom and over to Photoshop. But outside of cropping and working to correct the wide angle distortions there was not much editing.
