Lesson #2 - Try Something Different

Polar Bear

When I originally took this picture, I was frustrated because although I liked how it was framed it was entirely too under exposed. Initially I tried basic post production editing like enhancing exposure and brightness but it still was not looking good at all. So I started playing around. Instead of trying to increase the exposure I went the opposite direction and actually decreased exposure. It helped me to see the picture I have now and produce another one of my favorites. Rather than trying what has always worked, sometimes you need to try something which on the surface does not make any sense.
