Today was the first day of the local festival that Mat and I
are covering. Mat was busy this afternoon, so I was taking photos alone. The
festival doesn’t officially open until tomorrow but was open to photographers
and members of the press.
As it was the day
before, most people were in the midst of setting up their stalls as I was
walking around the festival site. The site itself is divided into sections,
with one of those sections being a children’s zone with decorated willow arches
and sculptures (as seen in the foreground of the photo). A second attraction in
the family friendly zone was the giant slide!
I was trying to capture the overall fun, bright and friendly
atmosphere. To do this, I decided to walk to the bottom of the hill so I could
capture both the willow arches and the giant slide.
Afterwards, I increased the cyan saturation and the contrast
to make the scene brighter and to make the sky more vivid. I also sharpened the
image slightly to make the details more prominent. I’m looking forward to the
first full day of the festival with Mat tomorrow. An early night for all!
