Lightroom Filters ahoy...

Some of the shots from last week were just blah so I decided to try to spice them up. I've never been one for over processed images but to tell you the truth, you can only see the Washington Monument so many times before you need a change.

I think the dark blue hue to the image gives it that vintage look and just enough pop. So not everyone will love it but I'm kind of digging it.

The chariot guy below sits on either side of the bridge right next to Lincoln. He's kind of neat and bronzy without altering but the blue again gave it a different perspective. It took an ordinary pic take at the totally wrong time of day and gave it something extra. Both of the above filters came from A Girl in Love. These two in particular are the "don't wear the ring" preset.

This one I can't remember what one exactly I used. I think it was another Girl in Love but I'm not positive. I was intrigued by the signature on the soliders leg at the Korean Memorial. I've walked past these guys many times and this time for some reason the signature just stood out at me - dunno why.

Anyways, the next two weeks worth of blogs will be from things past. I'm going on a vacation but couldnt deprive all 4 of you that read this so I'll schedule a few posts up so you have something to read in the mean time.
