Adjusting Pictures With photoshop

This is Dukes Gynasium located on the campus of South Carolina State in Orangeburg S.C. This picture is raw and unedited and was taken mid afternoon in ate March. 
The second picture is the same as the original however it contains edits done with Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop. What i did with this picture was adjust the Black Point, Contrast, Highlights, and Shadows. Thus producing an image where the black points are bolder and the accents and overall look of the picture is a harder look rather than the soft colors and light accents in the first.



Lastly I added text to the picture to complete the transformation. Dukes Gymnasium was built in 1931 so I used a bold text font with a color tat would lend in but stick out as well and placed the text across the image.

The Solar Eclipse Was Out Of This World!!!

Was it worth the hype? It sure was. The 2017 Solar Eclipse was on for the books and if you missed it, you wont see that again for another century.

People traveled from all over the country to view the
almost once in a life time event right in Orangeburg,
S.C. due ti the fact Orangeburg was one of the best places
to view "Totality" as its best.
Totality is the moment where the Sun is completely covered by
the Moon. Photographers labeled this as the "Money Shot" and
was the most desirable view of the Eclipse itself. 
The link below is an overall recap of the events. Enjoy!
