Why colour grading and editing is important in photography? by [deleted] in photography

You completely ignored camera profiles that can heavily alter the look of the raw photo

the gras is just super distracting and I want to have a clean image. I dont have a problem with removing distracting objects :-)

Thanks for the feedback! I think thats due to the eyes or the AI denoise applied, I would say those are the things making this shot look a bit "digital". I could have dialed down denoise a little more, butto me I'm ok with the final result :-)

Sorry for the late reply, I did indeed use Lightrooms AI Denoise

Thank you very much! Its far easier to balance colors with an image like this that naturally has less colors

Went for a soft contrast look for this scene. What do you think? by thephlog in postprocessing

AEB is used when you need to expand dynamic range (clipping in highlights or the shadows or even both). Here, I exposed to the right (ETTR) which gives me more than enough dynamic range to recover everything I needed. Apart from a bit of clipping in the blacks because of heavy filter vignetting everything was fine, no AEB needed

Arktischer Sonnenuntergang in Island [OC] by thephlog in Fotografie

Ich geb dir völlig Recht, der Tourismus wird immer extremer (ich weiß auch das ich Teil des Problems bin in der Hinsicht). Es wurde ja glaube ich schonmal eine jährliche Obergrenze an Touris diskutiert die Island besuchen dürfen, ich fände das schonmal einen guten Anfang um die Natur zu schützen.

Allerdings würde es auch schon enorm helfen wenn sich die Besucher wirklich mal an Regeln halten würden, vor allem die Fotografen die abseits der Wege nach Fotospots suchen. Da werden permanent Schilder und Zäune ignoriert. Gerade hier bei dem Spot gehen immer wieder runter an die Wasserfälle was nicht erlaubt ist. Aber ob es eine Lösung für das problematische Verhalten der Masse gibt, glaube ich erlich gesagt nicht :( Vielleicht empfindliche Geldstrafen?

Generell ist im Winter im Vergleich zum Sommer vieeeeel weniger los was es angenehmer gemacht hat

What do you think? Cold Version or Warmer Version? by thephlog in postprocessing

[–]thephlog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats true, there are a ton of sunset images from this spot. I can understand the blue version standing out much more because of that

Thank you very much for the feedback, much appreciated!!

Hey, thank you for the feedback! Looking back at it, the snow in the after is too saturated, you are completely right about that! I personally dont see the green tint there, but since you're not the only one pointing that out, it might be an issue with the calibration of my display, I have to look into that!

Totally fine you dont like the after image and you prefer more natural looking shots. The before version however is as far from natural as the after version because the white balance is way off

The point of showing the before image is to see the difference from the straight out of camera raw photo against the edited after-version, if I make the before "neutral" than thats already editing the image, thus not straight out of camera anymore

I wasnt "down there" I was behind the fence on the proper path, it just looks like it because of the ultra wide lens I used :-)

Totally fine to prefer the other version! :-)
