joe_hodge 271 Posted May 11, 2004 I've had to do some work on this image to handle the high contrast range. Does the lighting look un-natural, and if so, what about it looks wrong? Link to comment
maranwilson 1 Posted May 11, 2004 The lighting does not look un-natural at all to me. Good job in working that technical element. As for the content of this picture, I'm not really sure what to look at. I'm assuming you are just using it to experiment with reducing contrast? Link to comment
joe_hodge 271 Posted May 11, 2004 Yep, this is just here for a limited technical critique. I took this on a house & garden tour this past weekend which was conducted during a bright, direct sunny afternoon. Since I could not pick the light and can't go back to most of the locations easily, I'm working on saving the shots digitally. The high contrast in a lot of my outdoor shots is challenging, and it's hard to judge my own work after a while. I've chosen to lose some detail in the shadows to try to save the highlights without making the light look "gentle" or "flat", since that wouldn't represent the scene properly. Here is the shot before manipulation (other than a touch of USM): Oh, this is a playground at DC's Capitol Hill Day School. Link to comment
