Painting with Light

This photo was taken during one of my photography classes as I taught my students how to paint with light. Cheryl decided to “write” her name with my spotlight.

I used Adobe Camera Raw to make basic adjustments and desaturate all of the colors except for red and orange. I also used the lens correction tool to remove most of the distortion. I applied an exposure adjustment layer in Photoshop to add a little more pop.
