I knew that when I was taking these photos they would probably come out with bad contrast and a histogram that was a bit whack. I took photos using several exposure offsets hoping one would be the right balance between blurriness and darkness. Here are some attempts at adjusting a particular photo to look more vibrant and energetic, the way that I wanted that moment to be portrayed. Queens of the Stone Age, if you were wondering.
Original

Contrast/Brightness - Increased Contrast some and brightness a tiny bit in attempt to remove the grainy look to the photo.

Levels - Adjusted to better fit the histogram, although it cut out some detail in the bright areas.

Color Balance - Tried to warm it up using reds in the midtones and shadows and yellows in the highlights.
