Under San Clemente Pier
Sometimes we take for granted that lofty beautiful spaces always have an underbelly. The necessary and sometimes less picturesque footings are as essential to the views and can be serene escapes. There is beauty in the underbelly.

Last month, I was out and I spotted this young man living his best life whilst enjoying the sunset while on vacation in Laguna Beach, CA. He struck a classic tree pose as he stood king 👑 of the rock. His friends didn’t get the 📸, however, as you can see, Dubbs clicked it. A timeless frame capturing the exhilarated spirit. I chose to use the auto-correct feature in Abobe Photoshop Express on my phone.
Below is the finished image that I posted on IG:
📸: Canon Rebel T6, ISO 800, 29mm, f/7.1, 1/200 sec, Yunteng monopod, auto-corrected in Photoshop Express.
Location: Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, CA, USA

I grabbed a few additional frames of the same gentleman and opted to apply the new techniques I acquired from Serge Ramelli’s Photo Serge® tutorial on Adobe Lightroom CC. I believe the results show a night and day difference.
Below is the frame I edited using Lightroom:

So, which of these two photos do you think looks more like a “professional” photograph?
Yesterday, I had the joy of catching the beautiful spring scenes from above the Dana Point Harbor. I am in the process of learning to shoot my new Canon T6 and was using the standard 18mm-55mm lens that comes with this camera. I broke the landscape photography rules by shooting these handheld as opposed to utilizing a tripod, (rookie.) Learning to manipulate the manual settings and getting off of the auto controls. Here are a couple of my favorite shots from yesterday after some basic edits in Adobe Lightroom CC.
