Making a great picture is a hard process, a lot of times due to “some” limitation, we can’t get that look our eyes see or supposed to be seen by others. I like to shoot into the sun, but i rarely use HDR. I’m always exposing for the ground and as you can expect the sky is almost always blown out, and if it’s not, many times there is nothing in that sky - it’s boring flat. So what can we do to improve our photos?

But in short... what we'll be doing here in 34 simple steps

Almost every step i do i convert to Smart Objects to have the ability to add filters, change parameters and resize objects without losing details. (non destructive editing fanatic). It is a good practice to name your layers, but i don’t 8P sorry for that, i think visually it’s well readable. I don’t give any image size because it is a Smart Object (Holy grail of PhotoShop) and can be resized any time, but it’s easier to use if it’s square, and is equal to the longer side of your final image. For me myself i found a perfect document size of 3663x3663 pixels, You can use bigger, but remember it’ll make your CPU sweat.

I divide whole process into three parts:

Prepare Sun burst and toning, once and forever.
Change sky and apply step 1.
Or as an alternative skip all until the P.P.P.S.

Travel to Romanian Fagarasan Mountains, Lake and Fog

For along time i had an idea to go visit Transfagarasan Route in Romania, this year i've got an opportunity to go there. I've made a little bit of research on instagram and found out that this year the route was open two weeks earlier, and there still are some spots of snow in mountains.
When we arrived there, we where amazed, Transfagarasan mountains are much much more than only a legendary road. For now this is one of my most inspiring places, I recomend everyone to visit Transfagarasan it is beautiful.
