i guess i could use the brush tool and try and add more.

or do you know any other ways?

UdubBadger · 01-22-2012, 06:57 PM

yeah, raw and lightroom

UdubBadger · 01-22-2012, 06:58 PM

also, the lighting isn't very dynamic, looks just like high key blasting right on top of her from the right.

The1 · 01-22-2012, 06:59 PM

it was 1 flash, and i kind of emphasized that, i can try and take some of that away.

hmmm... try adding some clarity and maybe even fill. also if you have any recovery being used dial it way back, there is no apparent white in the photo at all.

UdubBadger · 01-22-2012, 07:00 PM

its really not THAT bad, it really might just be the high key lighting

The1 · 01-22-2012, 07:06 PM

i adjusted the lighting to tone it down a bit on her i'll repost in a sec

The1 · 01-22-2012, 07:19 PM

any more easy on the eye?

The1 · 01-22-2012, 07:20 PM

a lot more sharpness and more contrast. lightened up the background and foreground a little

UdubBadger · 01-22-2012, 07:21 PM

agreed, better

The1 · 01-22-2012, 07:23 PM

cool, thanks, i still have so much to learn in post... Black and white has eluded me pretty much completely too...

UdubBadger · 01-22-2012, 10:40 PM

B&W is a lot more touchy to work with in digital than it was in film

I've definitely noticed this.... I used to shoot B&W film in a high school course i was in. But again, a black and white in your hand is different from a black and white on an LCD. I'd like to try editing on a Plasma to see what's what.

Weebl · 01-23-2012, 07:12 AM

Yes, #2 for the BW darker feel win. Maybe more grain? Up to you though.

29 photo stitch. Still not completely happy with it but it's getting there.

Chewy734 · 01-23-2012, 11:04 AM

why 29 photos Paul?

Too much time on your hands?

Why so many? Was that taken at night or something that would cause you to stack?

I'm thinking that to cover the subject with around a 50mm lens, from that perspective would take, at most, 6-images. What gives?

I'll go look at the original size.

Nice portrait with good detail and sweet bokeh. How's the detail at 100% vs. your Canon lens?
