From Ordinary to Awesome

Here is a photo I took of a friend of mine with his son when we were camping this past summer.  I think it is a pretty nice profile shot with the lake in the background.

But here's the shot as it looked coming out of the camera.

So the question is... how did it go from that... to this..

to this... (hey, where did those trees come from?)

and finally... this?

That's a great question!  One I hope to answer for a class of high school students I am planning a presentation for.  Maybe I'll tell you after I tell them.  I'll give you a hint... it involves Photoshop and Lightroom.

Keep Shooting!
