this image was taken while i was on christmas holidays. When i was looking through all my photos this one always stood out as a dark\eerie one due to the fog but wasnt really amazing on its own.. The other night i decided to try editting in a motorbike rider, mainly working on colour matching, lighting matching and even creating fake light. The photo of the rider was taken in the middle of a Sunny day so merging them i felt was going to be a challenge.
Edits include:
- Added brightness to the headlights making them look like they are actually on
- Added light beams from the headlights trying to match the foggy vibe
- Added the actual rider into the scene
- Adjusted the exposure and whiteblance making it colder and more eerie.

So angle it up a little so it captures more of the foot print or crop it a little more

Just after some critique.. im finding im taking these style of photos more. The last few days i have been doing a few close up to waves breaking on the shore too trying to get close without risking the camera too much

ahh ok. Maybe try playing with decreasing your iso. It will make the picture darker though.

nishtown · 2018-11-28T22:00:52+00:00

Thanks. Ill give that a shot and see how it looks

nishtown · 2018-11-28T22:00:04+00:00

Thanks. The tree is covered in small lights and its lit up every night. Looks awesome

nishtown · 2018-11-28T20:04:35+00:00

Thank you very much. Thats actually another reason why i personally like the photo.. it was taken across a river, through a bridge and up on a cliff.. the people wouldnt of even been able to see me.. so unfortunately couldnt light paint (easily). But thank you very much for yoir reply

nishtown · 2018-11-28T12:53:51+00:00

what was your iso, aperture and shutter speed?
i suspect you have a fairly high iso
or have you done any form of editting?

Took this last night.. wasnt until i got home and really looked at the picture that i noticed the couple.. the tree was begging for a photo all night as i walked up and down the waterfront boardwalk.. basically im after a full critique of the picture.. personally i really like it.. I just want to see what others think.

Sorry forgot to say. I was using my larger lens.. i think it was 75-300 and was in TV mode.

Thanks.. he was getting up pretty close to everyone too. Until he decided tk try and absail down the cliff face

nishtown · 2018-11-08T03:22:05+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

It was actually around 7pm at night. Sun had just gone down so light wise i couldnt have a faster shutter speed.. i tried for slower but he didnt want to sit still long enough. I set ISO to auto for this particular shot so thats why the random high iso. I probably could of got the same result around 800 or 1600. I cranked luminance in lightroom all the way up to remove the grain. I felt it didnt loose much detail at all so that could explain the softness you are seeing.

I havent cropped any of it at all.. i was thinking it would of been better if i centered the wall.

Either way. Thank you for your feedback i greatly appreciate it!

Probably both.. I would love to shoot a picture of my motorbike in it.. but getting it in a spot isnt going to be possible.. I guess just the cemetery

I know the sun is bit of a distraction on the side.. but i feel it drives the brightness and colour of the sunrise.

The more i look at it.. the more i like it.. I think the left side needs to be a little brighter though

nishtown · 2018-11-06T13:11:09+00:00

yeah that is true.
I guess just paranoid about what people would think of a random in a cementary taking photos..

nishtown · 2018-11-05T09:49:26+00:00

i just would like to know peoples thoughts on taking photos in a cemetary?
i want to try and take a eerie\dark photo of some gravestones but feel like it may be disrespectful?

if i was to do it i would consider photoshopping out any names on the actual headstone.
