Night Photography has it’s own challenges and rewards. Many times I struggle with blown out highlights from lamps and too dark shadows. Adobe Lightroom (the new Adobe Lightroom beta version can be downloaded for free and used until the final version will ship in Spring of 2010) offers a wonderful masking tool which allow editing local areas. In the raw file it looked like that the light source completely blew out the entire area above the door. With Lightroom I was able to bring back quite a lot of structure and still give the impression of a strong light above the door.

Enjoy this image and have a wonderful week.
