I captured the foundation for this photograph while crossing the street at lunch – and no it didn’t look this overcast and evil. That was Photoshop. More specifically I edited the photo in Nik Software’s Viveza 2 – to darken the sky and punch up the contrast and then I took those results into Nik Software’s Silver Efex Pro.
I added more doom and gloom to make an empty street much more ominous. There is a little bit of halo around the street lamp – but I am fine with it. It helps the lamp stand out from a pure dark sky.
