QUOTE(' or 1=1 -- @ Oct 29 2008, 02:18 PM) I dunno but for me, saving the highlights is much more important than the shadow areas especially when shooting outdoors. even if you do get noise in the dark areas after you brighten it. It's usually manageable. and people usually spot highlight clippings rather than shadows. So i find its much more natural and pleasing to the eyes doing it this way. sampled from my previous pic. Metered so i'd get the sky in. would've been a much blander shot without it. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « but actually if you metered for the sky already, then there's no need to do any PS tweaking as the histogram would already show a right side bias around a third of the way, no? see, if u would have over exp-ed a bit on that pic, the sky would have turned out the way like after ur PP is done... well, thats from what i see la.. of coz diff ppl have diff styles of working... jz that i personally feel that exp-ing right is a more sound idea, thats all.... but then again, it depends a lot on what the subject is about too.. as mentioned here http://prolost.blogspot.com/2008/03/exposi...g-to-right.html |

Added on November 14, 2008, 7:05 pmMuch better than a lot of ur previous posts. You should try to stop spamming and instead pick some shots with more "subject" to them. I think this would help u improve ur photography skills also. Go for quality instead of quantity... Back to your shot..... Focus looks a bit soft to me
Added on November 14, 2008, 7:08 pmWow....William, what did u use for this huh? I m guessing u used some sort of polarizer for this? Anyway, great shot  why did you reckon i used a polarizer for that shot? it was just normal UV filter. Shot as it is. in fact, if i were to use a polarizer, the reflection on the sandy beach would have been drastically filtered. |

QUOTE(PCHo @ Nov 14 2008, 10:27 PM) It was just a noob guess. hahaha.... What time was it when u took the shot? about 8-ish, 9... after the sun has set. you should get a polarizer yourself and play with it, its a filter worth its every penny; as most other filter effects can be PP-ed into a scene to a certain extend. But you cant PP away reflection and glare. |
