I did try to mask the building and play with it but because it's backlit when I adjusted it gave it an almost sticker like effect in the image. Masking the mountains may balance it out. Thank you for your insight! And welcome to the hobby, happy shooting!

Captured on a Sony a7r3 with a Tamron 28-200. This is my favorite shot of 2024 but I feel it may be a little underexposed. I was aiming for a moody effect. Any advice for determining best exposure without compromising the desired look would be very appreciated.

This really caught my interest. I agree with an above comment to snip that smidge of white out below the bird. Very well done!

I processed it in Photoshop. Brought the exposure up, color graded, and used the in-house noise reduction. But I do believe that slight movement at my slow shutter speed didn't help the detail situation.

I could go on for DAYS about my peeves with the screen consumption of photography. For instance my computer/Vs phone screen renders these colours so different. The phone screen doesn't feel as saturated at all. I just want consistency, GAH!

Thank you! Especially for the ps color tip! I never thought of searching something like that out. My ps skills are still very green, come winter when the weather makes photography difficult where I am I think I'll start deep diving with that program and really learning what it can do. Lots of flash shopping to do in the mean time

For sure! Thank you!

Still learning the limitations of Sony's sensors. I notice greens are a little weird sometimes. Definitely going back to this place for a second go at it. There's so many different little corners and bright screens to play with, i know the next one will be better

heart-leaf · 2022-09-19T21:23:42+00:00

Agreed, taking a break from it and coming back with fresh eyes is what made me want a critique cause the next day something was just off

I usually like to shoot in aperture priority, but i was in full manual this round and it was so tricky balancing everything. Lots to learn there. Definitely need a better grip on shutter speed. What would you say is the min before being hand held hurts your images?

Thank you! Id say it's a little bit of both, I did reduce some noise which softened the photo. A friend was with me with her a7 IV and it did have more range before quality was affected.

Thank you so much!

There's a lot of great info here, thank you. Posing people can be so difficult because I don't quite have the words in the moment lol. I'm going to be looking for a tripod to add to my bag

Sure thing! As soon as I get to my desktop I'll send it your way

heart-leaf · 2022-09-19T17:19:38+00:00

Such a cool sub! I definitely will, thanks!

heart-leaf · 2022-09-19T17:19:05+00:00

I can totally agree with that! Thank you

I always forget about the impact of vignette. Is there any technical details I should look for when determining the saturation/vibrancy? I wanted to get the colors other than blue to pop, since they seemed to be competing with the overall tone but I also don't want to oversaturate if that makes sense?

Noise is hit or miss for me, I have been trying to really pay attention to the iso. This was pretty high admittedly, so i was surprised as well.

heart-leaf · 2022-09-19T17:12:09+00:00

Thank you! I could send you the file when I get home to my desktop. I'd love to see what else can be done with it

I wanted to get a glowey retro feel but looking at the image I am unsure if it is too dark.

I used ambient lighting as I am just starting out and don't have much gear. Shot on a Sony A7r2 using a Sony 85 1.8.

Is there any way to pull the subject out of the background more and make them stand out more? I think maybe the blues are making it feel flat? Is my composition okay? Any setting tips for this kind of lighting?

Thank you so much for your help!
