When shooting with a camera phone, you’re limited in what effects you can create. Because of that, you’re forced to either take crappy pictures or make adjustments and come up with something different. That’s what I did with today’s photo.

As I was waiting with my youngest daughter after school, I noticed the interesting patterns that were coming out of the sand and the shadows, so I started shooting. What I quickly realized is that the shadows acted as a natural vignette. To enhance this effect, I turned the brightness way down until the shadows begin to get that underexposed look.

Once in Photoshop, all that needs to be done is some minor color correction, level adjustments and a bit of burning to darken any of the lighter edges. That’s it! Stay tuned for more on brightness adjustment and working with shadows.
