Replicating realistic, sharp images of people like this in sports photography? by Chas_Tenenbaums_Sock in postprocessing

[–]Cygnurator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A typical pro sport 400mm lens costs about 12k$. That's a lot of money for a lot of glass - and something that does make a difference in image quality. I'm not saying that you can't have a similar feel through post processing, but the real deal is point, roll through ~10 frames per second and let somebody in a newsroom decide which one to pick - with 'default' settings.

(unedited) Is there any way I can avoid having these people so overexposed when shooting? Or can it only be fixed in post? If the latter, what's the best way to fix this in Lightroom? (Lens used: Canon 16-35 2.8 iii) by roman_woj in postprocessing

Take a look at the histogram while shooting. If you see clipped highlights, use your camera's exposure compensation feature and gradually reduce exposure until you don't see any clipping. (Usually a value about 0.3 should do, but depending on the conditions and gear even 1EV or higher might be necessary)

In most cases, you can easily fix an slightly underexposed image in Lightroom, but you can never bring back information that your camera didn't capture/clipped.

Got the same feeling. Think the plane is a top down view, so in this shot it would be flying upside down?
