This was from my last moments in Japan in the Fukuoka Airport. The photography gods finally appeared at the end there and gave me one last blessing. We were eating dinner in a restaurant when the sun lit up the sky. Luckily my Sony A7r wasn’t packed away with the rest of my gear.
Believe it or not this was also a handheld HDR. Those actually usually turn out for me as long as you keep the shutter speed high.
I probably spent way too much time on an airport shot but hey, it was fun.
The Photo – Fukuoka Airport
To get this look I used a lot of Photoshop and approached the shot with more of a design commercial angle. Lot of dodge and burn, HDR, color enhancements with curves, color balance, channel mixers etc.
