It’s installment #5 in my Lightroom retouching column, and while last time we looked at retouching wrinkles, this time around, we’re looking at a related technique, which is reducing hot spots (those shiny areas on your subject’s face that almost look kind of sweaty).

After a week of cross-country skiing to photograph the geysers, waterfalls and wildlife, we spent a few days in West Yellowstone, Montana. I had heard of the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, an Association of Zoos & Aquariums-accredited wildlife park, and was excited to photograph their animals in realistic habitats. The center had one large bear enclosure where the staff rotated a combination of grizzlies for exhibition and enrichment throughout the day and two wolf enclosures housing separate packs.
