Hello guys!

Today I'll write a new episode of my STEP2STEEM initiative. The name comes from the union of step to step on the steem blockchain. This is a simple initiative with which I'll explain what I make when I post-produce a shot that I took with my smartphone.

In this episode, I'll utilize a shot that I took last days in the Marinella's Estate. I published the definitive photo last days.

Above, the original pic. While I was biking on the path in the Estate, I stopped to take this shot.

In the first, I acted on the luminosity, raising it.

Then, I utilized a new level to shift the dark points and the middle tones. I partially darken them and I added a Curves Level to further darken the dark and middle tones without affecting the lighter half of the histogram

So I canceled the peripherals parts of the pic to reduce the contrast in these points.

I duplicated the level and increased the saturation; I partially canceled the zone with the higher saturation differences to balance the image colors.

In the last step, I added a level with low opacity grey: I scolored the peripheral portions of the pic and I saw my creation. "Yes", I said my self. These results liked me.

So, if you like my post and you want, get me an upvote. If you were interested in my images, I create with them some simple illustrations, t-shirt designs or covers to sell. If you wish to contact me, write in the comment section. I will reply as soon as possible.

Next Episode Guys!
