Yesterday I posted this photo:
As a companion photo, I have this image:
Both photos were edited in Luminar 3. The first photo has the look, Dreamy Film, applied at 65%. The second photo has the look, Documentary Film, applied at 100%.
The first photo was shot from the top of St. Peter’s Basilica and the second from the ground looking up to the Basilica in the skyline. Not only does where you chose to shoot your photo change perspective of the subject but it is my opinion that how you choose to edit it does as well.
Your thoughts on either image are welcome below. This post is a response to Lens-Artist Photo Challenge, Change Your Perspective.
Cheers!
The Made with Luminar Series
This image is part of a project I am calling Made with Luminar. What the images in this series have in common is the software used to edit them, Luminar 3. As with my usual blog posts particulars of the camera settings can be found in the caption below the image. I’ll then explain what other filters and edits have been applied, often mentioning what layer and therefore order that they were applied. The text of these posts includes any Luminar “Looks” that have been applied to the photo. Each look is a series of presets that are applied to the photo. Where applicable I will mention what changes I have made to any of the looks. A full explanation of looks is available here on their website, https://skylum.com/luminar/user-guides/chapter-14-working-with-luminar-looks
You can assume basic edits have been applied. My most common edits are cropping, detail enhancement, and vignette. Specific questions or thoughts on the image are welcome in the comment section below.
I read St Peter’s Basilica in the title and I had to see your pictures and they didn’t disappoint. Beautifully captured!

Interesting effects with Luminar, Amy. I haven’t explored Luminar yet. It’s a great idea to create a project with it. For me, the ground level shot is more immediate and makes me curious to explore all the visual elements. The dreamy effect of the first shot gives it an “otherworldly” look. It’s an interesting choice for an aerial shot.

These are great shots, and great edits. It’s amazing how a change in perspective, touched with the right edit, can make a scene look extraordinary. Well done!

These are amazing photos. Were these taken when there is the corona virus issue? This place was so busy when we went there….not like this. Great editing as well 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks very much. These photos were taken a few years ago and I went very early in the morning and at a slightly off-season time which is why there was almost no one around. An hour later there were a lot more people!
