Post Processing for Night Photography

White balance is critical (make sure you were shooting in RAW!)
As with any image, it is absolutely essential that the black areas of your image are true black. Lower the black slider in Lightroom if you need to
If you want detail in the highlights, you may need to lower the highlights slider
Boost saturation selectively using the HSL toolbar in Lightroom
Eliminate distractions
HDR can bring out detail in shadows, but it can really mess with a night scene
Dodge and Burn

Photographing the old Seminary Building at the University of Chicago

If you like shooting the University of Chicago, then I’m sure you know that the old seminary building has been under construction for the past couple of years. It is almost complete and I found my way inside to give you sneak peek into what you can expect. I think that you’re going to like it, but it’s not going to be without some controversy.

Thank you to Matt Frankel for first showing me around to all of the amazing places at the University of Chicago. Check out his images on Flickr.
