Description

Category: Tips (Technology) Tips: 1. I look for a way to minimize background distractions, both when taking/composing the photo and in the crop. Here I waited for someone to move a car parked right behind the bike and positioned myself to get maximum "good" background. 2. Use the healing brush set to "Replace" in Photoshop to "clone out" remaining unavoidable distractions (bits of cars and locks tying bike to post and parking meter). 3. Added painterly look (Topaz Impressions preset) to the edited version at reduced opacity.
