cool looking bird with some attitude too!! did you try multiplying the whites? definitely one worth trying to save if it were mine. the whites are over. i'm sure you knew that. but i like the image. the bg is really nice. is that a juvy?
Hey Mr H - ;) YES whites are over - lets see is some of our brothers and sisters know how to fix this in PP.Originally Posted by harold davis
Reposts are welcome - have a go at fixing the whites!
Yes Juvy!!
Hmmmmmmmm...hehehe...I love it Mr. Peters, I respectfully decline at this time to make any suggestions...It should be interesting to see what the rest of our brothers and sisters say, to give you an exposure solution...good show my friend...:D:cool:
Manual flash at 1/1 on a BB, what was you distance to subject? Really does not look too hot IMO. To be honest with you, I have spend hours on saving whites and never been happy with the results. I am sure it is me and many out the can rework it fine. I often use multiplying (can layer over & over) or linear burn and sometimes color-range too. That is my contribution to this thread, I will jump in more if needed.
Love the low angle and excellent eye detail, I like the circle within circle. I'm not sure about the darker blue strip on the background, it helps to bring focus to the head yet also a bit distracting.
I check the histogram, the chest is not all blown out. You probably can save some details especially with the RAW file. Here is my try on it, other probably do much better job than I do.
Re post looks really good, nothing blown and has a good feel. .. funny looking chick !!!
One of the best uses of flash to tame shadows !!!
Repost by Thanaboon looks good. Don't think the whites could have been out by much, there seems to be detail back in the whites. Would you keep this shot for your portfolio, or just record Lance?
Nice repost - well done on those whites!!!
Jackie - Probably just a record shot - wasn't really happy with the dark strip behind the head.
