boop the snoot posted:I don’t mean offense by this, I just want to try to learn to get better at taking pictures. A lot of the time, photos like that are not solely good because of the technical aspects/standpoint but the feel of the photo. The technical stuff only helps to make the photo shine beyond the feel. But of course, the feel is the most subjective part about a photo.

This is my favorite of the bunch, dreamy theater set vibes. I thought it was an interior until I processed the street sign.

Also here's a mountain I saw this summer. Mountains are nice. Very much not confident with my B&W conversions so if someone thinks I hosed it up I'd love to hear what I did wrong. There was a lot of slider wiggling so I'm worried I overcooked it and am blind to it.

xzzy posted:Also here's a mountain I saw this summer. Mountains are nice. I think this looks pretty good. The common mistake is to blow highlights and stuff like that (or crush blacks too much) and in general apply too much contrast. The highlights on the left mountainside look on the border of being blown out but it's not super distracting - only distracting to me because I'm looking at it wondering if any of it is actually blown out.

Caught my eye too. Between that and the patch of trees right below, the photo is weighted heavily to the left. I wonder if that'd be less noticeable in color. Regarding black levels, I'd say they're lifted a tad too much. seravid fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Sep 9, 2021 |

Yeah, I sweated over that for a bit in LR and there's even a radial filter over it to bring down the highlights. Nothing in the histogram is clipped though. But I couldn't wiggle sliders enough to get it to naturally blend in better.. anything more started to make ugly halos. I could fix it in photoshop but I also kind of wanted to see if anyone else commented on it. seravid posted:Caught my eye too. Between that and the patch of trees right below, the photo is weighted heavily to the left. I wonder if that'd be less noticeable in color. My issue with the color version is it's pretty low contrast. There was smoke haze, the greens were kinda dingy, and the mountains were pretty flat. I didn't feel color brought anything to the table. If you care to form an opinion on your own, here's an unedited export: https://i.imgur.com/3cyJ9cv.jpg I'll agree it's heavy on the left. Looking at the conversion next to the color maybe I pulled down the darks too much. ImplicitAssembler posted:Was this a colour photo originally? Yes it was!

imo trying to hide the haze is a mistake. other people have pointed out it looks a little crushed. personally i like the subtly shifting tones of the haze. i think it comes of even better in the colour version from the blue wood smoke on muted greens. nice picture in any case

I could fix it in photoshop but I also kind of wanted to see if anyone else commented on it. Tons of stuff work with. Normally hate when people do this, but this is shifting the levels within range and tweaking midpoint + a a tiny amount of color work. Probably even more so if you have the original 16bit version

They’re all good but the first one is really fantastic I think. Cacator posted:This page is severely lacking in mountains. Same here and as others have said the second-to-last is the standout. I think it’s the very distinct foreground, midground, and background, with each looking good and the background especially has some really cool cloud stuff going on that ties it all together there with the round one in the upper left just sitting perfectly between those two peaks. Also the last one is cool. Looks like the setting for a 70s western.
