in the last couple of days i have posted a few shots from my short break and ken out of the blue said he could get more out of them! i sent him 4 average shots last night and within a few hours this morning he had worked on them and sent something back i cant wait to put up on my wall cheers bud appreciate it and the explenation on what and how before after
Yes I'm lovely, it's true... However, as I explained to Raphael this morning. There's nothing in the 'after' images that isn't in the 'before' ones. Post processing is more about releasing the data the camera actually captured from the restraints of the 'averaging' that the camera processing forces upon you. It's not all about special effects and HDR. We always post processed in the darkroom, it's just that the photographer never saw it happen. He just dumped his film at the lab and collected his prints three days later. They were cracking shots. They were just trapped in the settings. All his own work...
Yep that Ken he is a top bloke, sent me a large format print I took that now sits in a 90.00eek frame on the wall looks great! Low light images often contain the pixel data of the image, as said you just can't see them, for years I have been editing with Photoshop etc (yonks ago the fav was paintshop pro) not that I am that good but it can give you an image that was lost or not at full potential, I know a good photographer will capture the perfect moment and I know (or hope) I am getting better as a good few of my images don't require so much post or it has little effect, but that's on photos that have been planed with light and angle, just not possible sometimes and when a session on the edit can come into its own to save the shot. I still shot in JPG most of the time but should use RAW as then all of the data that was recorded by the sensor is saved pre post so you can edit levels etc before you commit to compressing the image into a JPG...anyway I'm off topic is spewing crap again... Cheers Ken, your a star (as are a good few others on here!)
