Evergreen Edge

A new single-story craftsman at the edge of a stand of tall evergreens, photographed empty and move-in ready, just before the lawn went in.

Front of a pale blue single-story craftsman home with a board-and-batten gable, stacked-stone accents and a two-car garage under a clear blue sky

The edit

Before & after

Each frame was shot with a single exposure and no flash, so the originals came in dark and cool. Drag to compare. Both sides already have the verticals straightened, so all you're seeing is the change in tone and color.

Selection

43 frames delivered; 19 kept. I cut near-duplicate angles, the softer handheld takes (the first kitchen frame and a straight-on of the fireplace) and the rear views with a parked car in them.

Geometry

Converging verticals are corrected in every frame shot at 16mm, so walls, door casings and the fireplace stand straight. Each frame is cropped back to 3:2.

Tone & color

I lifted the exposure and opened the shadows while holding the highlights. White balance is set from the painted walls, and I reduced noise on the high-ISO interiors. I didn't add or remove anything: the bare-soil yard is exactly as it was on the day.
