Lightroom Adjustment Experiments


To achieve this photo i had to use the Radial filter to help. By using this i was able to lighten the face of my friends, so it can blend in with the background.

To achieve this photo i use Adjustments Brush to help. By using this tool i was able bring the color up from the can and blend it in with the background to look as one.

LandScape Preview

My favorite tip is Capture the Movement.



Tip 1: Work with the weather- A scene can change dramatically depending upon the weather at any given moment. As a result, choosing the right time to shoot is of real importance.

Tip 2: Change your point of view- Take a little more time with your shots – particularly in finding a more interesting point of view to shoot from. This might start with finding a different spot to shoot from than the scenic look out (wander down paths, look for new angles etc), could mean getting down onto the ground to shot from down low or finding a higher up vantage point to shoot from.

Tip 3: Forests- Find a point of interest. It might be one slightly different tree trunk, a path winding through, or a splash of color on a flowering vine. Whatever it is, compose in such a way to lead the viewer to it. Look for shafts of light penetrating the canopy or one spot on the forest floor directly lit by the sun.

Magic Forest, Photo by deep21


Equipment:

10. Filters for Black & White: You'll want yellow, red, and orange filters to darken the sky, and green to get different shades of green in the vegetation.

9. Neutral Density (ND) Filter: An ND filter allows you to use a slower shutter speed to blur moving water and make it look wetter.

8. Filters for Color: A graduated filter will allow you to even up the lighting between the sky and the ground. When the ground is covered with snow or ice, put the dark area at the bottom.

7.Spare Batteries: When you have a magical landscape in front of you, it’s infuriating to find that your camera battery’s gone flat. Always take a spare.

6.Flashlight: The best time to take landscape photographs is nearly always during the “golden hours”—an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset. That’s when the grazing light from the low sun emphasizes the contours of the land. And it’s also when the light turns a magical honey color.

5. Lenses :A wide angle lens allows you to fit everything in but also has the effect of making everything except the foreground look smaller than it did in real life.

4. Tripod: This requires a long exposure to compensate that means there’s a danger of camera shake.

3. Photoshop:Editing your photos on the computer can rescue all manner of problems, including mistakes in exposure or framing.

2. Camera: There are plenty of cameras on the market bear in mind that a more expensive camera will give you more flexibility, but not necessarily more quality.

1. Your brain: It’s much easier to take great photos with a good camera, but you still need to know what you’re doing otherwise you’ll have “all the gear and no idea.”

I would like take a open area landscapes. I would go to parks that have an open area and try to take a photo without anyone coming in the photo.

HDR preview

1. What does HDR stand for?
High Dynamic Range

2. In your own words, explain what makes an HDR photo an HDR photo?
What makes a HDR photo is blending the rich natural colors together that the human sees cannot see. 

3. What is bracketing?
The same photo of the same subject in various exposures.

4. What software can you use to produce an HDR image?
Photoshop

5. When selecting layers, what do you have to be careful about when creating your HDR photos?
If not careful you can miss a piece that goes with the photo and your HDR photo will be ruin, also use the tools carefully like the magnetic lasso or you might cut a piece that you need or not need.

6. Save your favorite HDR photo on your blog.
