Behind The Lens

Location

At the Seurasaari outdoor museum in Helsinki, Finland.

Time

Mid-day.

Lighting

Using Photoshop, I changed the daylight sky to night and used the brush tool to make the stars. Then, playing with the saturation and color of the trees and shrubs, I made them look frosty. With the brush tool in different colors, I added the colored lights to the foreground tree.

Equipment

The shot was made with an Olympus SP500 camera.

Inspiration

I liked the architecture of the ancient church.

Editing

Yes, a lot. See answer to the question about lighting.

In my camera bag

When I took this picture, I had the Olympus SP500 camera, an extra battery and an extra memory card.

Feedback
