Shot in Raw: Adjusted color temperature, tint. Applied curves and brightness levels, cropped and added a border.
After three visits to this site (a park near my place) I finally got a picture that matched my vision. I had noticed the bench a while back when on a run one night and I was on my way to shoot it when I figured that maybe I could use it in this challenge. So, along came the hat and umbrella. I played around with the angle of the shot a lot the first night but the only shot I liked had some garbage in the foreground that I failed to remove. The second time I went I was sure to clean up the garbage but the clouds didn't look cool (it was solid overcast and started raining as I was leaving). So, Monday night was my last chance to make it work (btw, I've never spent this long trying to take a picture before - I hope it does well). Luckily for me, the clouds looked awesome. Having the experience of doing this shoot twice already, I was quick to set up the scene, fixed my point of view to exactly where I wanted it, and then started playing around with exposures to see what kind of cloud motion I could get. I think this was the best one.
