There is always something that I wanted to do, was to relearn the basics of Lightroom again, having used Skylum's Luminar software for a few years. Something about not letting the software determine the things for me, instead having to edit my own photos give me some sort of accomplishment.

Peach Flower (Aug 2020)

The original inspiration for this came when I edited a photo of a street in Taipei, instead of doing it automatically, I was playing around with a few darkened presets and then making it my own. And it really seemed kinda cool of how it gave a completely different vibe, instead of bring lights - using the darkened tone gave it a feeling of moody and rainy.

There's also some old photos from Japan that I've edited before.

Flying over Japan during the daytime gives some really nice views, especially the fly path from China - as you get to fly most of Central Japan. The views are really amazing, and I've always wanted to give this photo more depth.
