About the Image(s)

Description: This image was captured in Old Town Rhodes during a trip to Rhodes, Greece. I was drawn to the texture of the church, and the person sitting outside added a pleasant touch to the image ??” even though he appeared slightly blurry due to his sudden movement.

The stuff ??“ Camera: Lumix G9 Mk2 with Leica 12-60 mm lens. Exposure: 1/60 sec, f/5.6, ISO 200, Aperture priority. Metering: Spot. Exposure Bias: 0 EV. Flash: Didn't fire.

Post Processing: The image was first opened in Lightroom for basic tonal adjustments using the Basic panel. It was then sent to Photoshop for multiple enhancements, with a single TIFF file output returned to Lightroom. In Photoshop, the first step was noise reduction using Topaz Photo AI, even though the image had minimal noise. Next, Luminar Neo was used to enhance the overall image. Upon completion, the image was returned to Lightroom for final adjustments, including burning and dodging with local masks.
