Hello guys!

Today I'll write a new episode of my STEP2STEEM initiative. The name comes from the union of step to step on the steem blockchain. This is a simple initiative with which I'll explain what I make when I post-produce a shot that I took with my smartphone.

In this episode, I'll utilize a shot that I took last days along the road in Luni's Zone.

Above, the original pic. While I was biking in Luni, I stopped and took this shot. I think that it is a mix of rural and countryside photos.

In the first step, I cut my pic in vertical size.

I desaturated to obtain a very basic black and white picture.

I changed the level of the black-point to darken the darks and middle tones.

Then I utilized an adjustment level to lightened and partially burns the brighter colors.

In the next step, I utilized 2 adjustment levels: in the first, I darkened the grass; in the second I lightened the sky.

In conclusion, I discolored the entire image because I wanted to obtain a not-100% black. Then I created a vignetting along the pic's borders. That's ok: I removed the picture noise in the sky and I finished my post-production activities.

So, if you like my post and you want, get me an upvote. If you were interested in my images, I create with them some simple illustrations, t-shirt designs or covers. If you wish to contact me, reply in the comment section. I will reply as soon as possible.
