My Entry, Mystical Beams of Light

This photo was taken with my Google pixel 2, I took quite a few photos to get this shot. Generally I crank the exposure down low when I take photos of the sun, sky and clouds.
For this one it was especially important as I wasn't shooting raw photos on a larger sensor camera, getting a good mid level exposure means we don't need to pull details out of the darks or light tones in ways that crush the tones.

When working with black and white photos don't forget your colour balance makes a difference to your shots massively, as you can adjust the luminance value of certain colour ranges, doing this works best with raw data but it can work on standard photos too. Try changing the whitebalance before desaturating your photo you may be surprised :)

That's me for now folks.
Thanks for viewing.
