Pleasanton's Blue Agave Mexican Restaurant

I didn’t eat here tonight but the Blue Agave was so dressed up in lights that it drew me like a moth.  People came & went during these exposures but you never see them as long as they keep moving.  Of course they always hesitate before walking in front of the camera and ask if it’s okay to go ahead… I just send them on their way even though the shutter is still open. See?  No people .. not even ghosts.

This is another photo where Viveza came in handy in the post processing.  I used it to give boost to the structure of the courtyard bricks and to the blueness of the inlaid tile designs which were a bit washed out after the HDR negative came out of Photomatrix.  It’s the little things that you can do in post processing that take your images from snapshot to photograph.

  1. A well-decorated restaurant, plus an expert photography, equals a very nice presentation. On the side, I learned one thing. Decoration can attract customers and lure them to come in.

  2. First, You really are a good HDR editor! I really mean it and second is, WHY didn’t you try that restaurant? :) anyway you really have a good page here..keep it up! bro fist!
