"Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second" (Mattie Stepanek)

This is a panorama of 4 horizontal shots (Sony RX 100 M2), stitched together in Microsoft Image composer (free) and edited in Snapseed (free) on a tablet.

 

I do get a lot of questions regarding my processing with snapseed. I typically go to “tune image”, adjust the “ambiance” and then play around with the “brush” feature eg. “dodge and burn”. After these adjustments I typically add some tonal contrast.

 

I must say I love snapseed´s ability to smartly select areas for selective retouching; its Ambience tool provides a wonderful combination of brightness, shadow opening, warmth, and even incredible highlight protection all at once.

 

Now to my quote by Mattie Stepanek: Matthew Joseph Thaddeus Stepanek (July 17, 1990 – June 22, 2004), known as Mattie J.T. Stepanek, was an American poet (or as he wanted to be remembered as "a poet, a peacemaker, and a philosopher who played") who published seven best-selling books of poetry and peace essays. Before his death (at the age of 13) he had become known as a peace advocate and motivational speaker.

 

Wannsee is a locality in the southwestern Berlin borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany. It is the westernmost locality of Berlin. In the quarter there are two lakes, the larger Großer Wannsee (Great Wannsee) and the Kleiner Wannsee (Little Wannsee), are located on the River Havel and are separated only by the Wannsee Bridge. The larger of the two lakes covers an area of 2.7 km2 (1.0 sq mi) and has a maximum depth of 9 m (30 ft).
