Fireworks Over Lake

This photograph was taken during a Fourth of July firework display using a high-end camera model equipped with a wide-angle lens to capture the vibrant and intricate fireworks lighting the night sky. Once the image file was transferred to a desktop computer, Adobe Photoshop enhanced the image quality further. The image was first assessed for unwanted elements, such as glare or blur, and removed using the software’s advanced editing tools. Next, the image was adjusted for clarity by incresoftware’s sharpness and contrast and reducing visual noise. Additionally, the software was utilized to accentuate the shadows, bringing out greater detail in the darker areas of the photograph.
