The Second Response: Catching the Evening Light — Jessica <\/h6>\n

Above is the RAW image unchanged as exported from Lightroom. Lightroom exports as JPEG and does add sharpening if you don’t uncheck the box (and I’m pretty sure that I forgot to uncheck the box!)

\nNow, here is the same picture but more along the lines of what I had envisioned. All I did was crop, warm up the temperature a bit, add mid-tone contrast (clarity in LR) and add a mild contrast curve. That’s not much…and you might not see that much of a difference but making those changes did a few things.<\/p>\n

1. It allowed me to make a stronger composition and didn’t someone say “composition is the strongest way of seeing something.”<\/p>\n

2. Warming up the white balance allowed the bits of evening sun to more accurately reflect the golden hour hue that my eyes saw.<\/p>\n

3. I toned down the highlights a bit because they had clipped a little bit on the surface of the book.<\/p>\n

4. Increasing the clarity slider allowed the mid-tones to contrast with the shadows and opened up the background a bit which provided context for the photo but not so much that it became distracting.<\/p>\n

5. Increasing the contrast brought the shadows down to almost black which increased the chiaroscuro effect.<\/p>\n

So, I started with a SOOC photo that pretty much met my needs and then brought it the rest of the way with a bit of post processing. I tend to use a light hand in processing because so much of what is out there right now seems “faddish” and I would hate to look back ten years from now and think how “dated” my photos seem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
