I posted this photo on my Instagram yesterday.

It was one of the many long exposures I took last Saturday on my day trip and one of the few that actually came out acceptable. Of course, I had to do a few tweaks but nothing drastic – just upped the contrast and sharpness, lowered the brightness, add some highlights, decreased the shadows, added a vignette and a slight orange hue to bring out the color of the rocks. I didn’t use any of the Instagram filters, none of those filter would had this photo any good. In the end, I really like how the photo turned out and I will absolutely keep working on my long-exposure photography.
