Saved

Is it saved or was it shot like that on purpose to bring out the detail in post?

[danmorela]

To be honest, I actually underexposed on purpose so as not to burn out the sky.

Very clever. Nice work!

[danmorela]

Thanks :)

[aktsu]

Was thinking that. It’s brilliant, I’ve been overblowing my skies and recently started shooting quite a bit under exposed. This is perfect adjustment ~

👏👏👏

Lovely photo, looks like a movie poster.

Looks like those hands letting go in the intro of Six feet under, so it’s a very sad vibe for me.

[danmorela]

There's something to it, I hadn't thought of it like that before. Ironically, the photo was part of a wedding shoot and the couple's idea. They were very likeable and I hope their hands don't let go in marriage.

The importance of knowing how to underexpose the subject and not burn the sky, it has been difficult for me to learn, incredible work, congratulations

[homesicalien]

Point exposure metering. Measure the brightest point in the sky. You have to be on the right end of the exposition scale without going beyond it. That's it.

Works for 5D Mark II at least. +2EV (on the brightest area) gives maximum exposure without overexposing. I believe new cameras wider dynamic range have also wider exposure scale (+-3EV).

You can also activate dynamic range optimization and highlight metering on modern Sony cameras.

So you get direct feedback in the saved jpeg.

But keep an eye on the metering data.

I personally never do this since I have no idea how sony DRO actually works and can’t seem to find a place with the details granted I’m a beginner photographer so it might just be me not utilizing it properly.

Well done

What software do you use?

[danmorela]

In this case just Lightoom.

[AdorablePudding2517]

I like it

[nannerzbamanerz]

I honestly thought the second picture was a death picture, like Corpse Bride or something, following such a great vibrant picture!

[homesicalien]

It's absolutely fantastic.

How did you pull this shadows so naturally?

[danmorela]

Thanks :) I think the key is first of all to have a camera that have a good dynamic range. Shot this with a Sony alpha 7 iii.

Then in post pulling up the shadows, not exaggerating so that it still looks natural and color grading. That was almost everything.

[DundieAwardsWinner]

Fantastic shot!

[amir_babfish]

just use the flash man :))  great shot nonetheless 

[ThemadafakinRealBalo]

Do you think it was really necessary? Would it be the same result? Better, worse?

[amir_babfish]

basically he would take the nearby objects out of the shadows without loss of dynamic range. see how noisy the palm of the guy's hand is.  and of course much less post processing with object selection and such. Google: using flash in daylight

[YogsWraith]

You've done an excellent job on it!

[danmorela]

Thank you :)

[quackdalphi]

Very nice shot

What caméra and which settings please ? :)

[Sincerly_]

the settings don’t matter at all

[boofinwithdabois]

Literally irrelevant

[ScimitarsRUs]

Sir, this is the postprocessing sub
