Simple Serenity

How this was created all using my camera and my phone. Showing this a little backwards, but the final IG post is above and the steps are below.

1. Take the shot

Shot with Sony a6000

50mm at 1.8

Imported into my LR catalog on my desktop and synced with LR mobile to be able to have a ton of photos ready to edit on the go.

The before looks pretty good, but...I wanted to capture a mood.

2. Edit in Lightroom Mobile

You may be wondering, "Why use Lightroom?"

Easiest answer, all my editing is synced to my desktop version. I can change practically anything I want since I use RAW format for shooting and I don't lose quality in the end if just using phone apps to export with filters.

I have some saved presets I also like to use, however most of the time I use it as a starting point and make adjustments from there. Making it very uniquely mine.

Here's after editing in LR (very minor lol):

Looks great...I crop it it depending on what I'm doing with it. So the composition may seem a bit odd for now.

3. Place my logo

Using Photoshop Touch, I added my logo (since LR Mobile doesn't have that capability to export with your watermark.) However, I don't do this step very often....mostly on generic images like this, just in case, and even then...its not something I always do.

Since I am a Creative Cloud , I have space for things I'd like to be able to access in many of Adobe's apps. My logo is no exception. I can pull it down quickly right in PS touch or any of the apps from Adobe and it can be the vector file in certain apps. (Used a high quality png in PS touch)

4. Fun in VSCO

Sooo...i just spouted a lot about doing using LR...right, why am I even bothering with Vsco???

:sweat_smile: Cuz it's fun!

Yes, I could have done the exact same in LR. However, to just be able to show this apps capabilities...and well...its the best filtering app I have in my opinion.

5. Finishing touch in Snapseed

So, creating this image made me feel very peaceful and calm. I added the text and called it done!

There you have it!

A mini look into my mobile workflow for photos.

Hope you liked it!
