john_wheeler6 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 <p>What effect are you referring to in this image?<br> And also, what camera and lenses to you have available?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashminu Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 <p>Hi John,<br> 1. i am referring to the highlighted effect on the right hand side of the image. That renders the final image like a stock image.</p> <p>2. I have Canon EOS 6D + 50mm f/1.8 + 24-105mm f/4 lens along with Adobe PhotoShop CS6.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis_vener_photography Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Over expose when shooting then try to correct the white balance, decrease contrast and attempt to adjust the luminance values using the Exposure tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 <p>The photo you linked to is on your own website. If it was taken or edited by one of your employees, why not ask the photographer or editor how that effect was achieved?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashminu Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 <p>Hi Lex, <br> No, the photograph was taken by some other photographer; hence I want to learn such photography / post processing technique.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Take care: if that other photographer hasn't granted you permission to post the photo on your site, it's as illegal as uploading it to PNet.<br><br>You can get clean whites and fresh looking tones by overexposing a little bit. Make sure the main subject is exposed correctly though. The best way to achieve that is by having control over the light illuminating the scene. The bit that has to look a bit 'washed out' will have to receive more light. Or do the opposite using filters. But selective filtering can be rather difficult.<br>But with some trickery and minor magic it could be done in post processing. Select the areas you want lighter, make them lighter and reduce the saturation a bit. The hardest bit is selecting the bits you want to lighten without creating obvious borders between that area and the one you want to leave untouched.
