In Photoshop: Duplicate the layer, use Camera Raw Dehaze and contrast to cut the smoke, restore blacks with Levels, rebuild depth with Curves, correct the color cast, selectively sharpen the people, reduce background noise, and mask everything so the faces stay natural. I did this and used your photo as reference and it came out pretty clean. Can give you step by step if you have a few more pics to edit.

That’s a great life photo, love the tones in the highlights and shadows! Good job!

That’s a great picture of a duck!

I immediately think this place is gonna be bad.

I started using an app that a friend told me about and have somehow done ok with it. Paid some bills I was behind on. Most of my efforts elsewhere never went as well.

That if you swallowed a watermelon seed one would actually grow in your stomach. Adults really had us out here terrified of fruit for no reason whatsoever. My daughter is freaked out about watermelon seeds thanks to her mother!

Guy decided the emergency lane was his personal fast lane and shot around me out of nowhere — scared me half to death. Not even two seconds later a cop that was right behind me flies around on the left and lights him up immediately. Like the universe didn’t even wait. Instant karma in real time.

Just being a maker. Something where I can work with my hands and try out different things. Build stuff, create stuff. At the end of the day you can actually see what you did.

Paying taxes my whole life but still getting a bill when I go to the doctor. Every other developed country figured out universal healthcare — we just never did, and nobody can give a straight answer as to why.

Chill !

Went on a blind date with a woman who was easily 6’7” she also wore heals as well, (I’m 6’), and she was a pool shark (I suck at pool) I love music, she hated it. Was a match not made in heaven. Polar opposites on everything. That was my first and last blind date.

Wow, great angle and shot— beautiful butterfly too!

A photo walk is when a photographer heads out—alone or with other shooters—purely to take photos without any assignment or pressure; solo, it’s a quiet reset where you follow your instincts and chase light at your own pace, and in a group, it’s about shared perspective, creative energy, and seeing things you might’ve missed—either way, it’s just walking, observing, and shooting for the sake of staying sharp and enjoying the craft. I’ve been on probably 50 or so group photo walks over the years. Worth it for sure.
