I saw this geranium by a wood fence and thought the scene had potential… but I couldn’t get the hot spots off the leaves. The detail had been totally burned out. Hot spots really burn me (pun intended, sadly) but I wanted to salvage this photo somehow. Then I got a spark of inspiration.
Photoshop to the rescue. I have a technique I use that involves layers, the Black & White Adjustment and Gaussian Blur that creates an arty effect. An extra heavy application of the Gaussian Blur step blotted out the hot spots. I’ll have to share how I put together this particular image in one of my occasional “How I Did It” Friday posts.

Sparking your creativity! I have similar issues taking photos of my black cat. Too much light is our enemy.
