ntrolls.
It's not a technique, just what was captured by the sensor, dodged to make it a bit brighter. The ghosts of electricity in the underexposed grd. The only thing I can do is make the face and legs even brighter, but there isn't much more in the photo. Well, there's a bit more in the surroundings, Ill have to think about it.
I'll post the photo which this comes from later; it was shot in blazing sunlight.
Here is a brighter version.
You could be right!And there was me thinking it was two women chatting over a coffee.
Yes. It doesn't work for me.I quite like it, looks surreal and like a painting.
Have you tried it in b&w?
Thanks a lot for the replies. I will reveal the identities of the actors bit by bit...
Also, TRsmith, here is something else that came to mind. I was wondering what your philosophy is, given that you very often talk about a photograph as if it should tell a story. This is something I don't really believe. Recently I've found this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl4f-QFCUek, about Winogrand, and he expresses an interesting view around 1:32, which I can't help but agree with.
I imagine it would be a lot less likely to work, since the human forms are so much more imprinted in our brains. I mean, we are able to recognize different expressions from so little, or, in case of guys, imagine parts of the female anatomy .I wonder how interesting the shot would have been if the glowing pixels in the gloom revealed the outline of a bicycle instead of a woman's leg?
Roger that. Wonogrand said something to the effect of trying to avoid taking the same photographs over and over. That's what makes it fun, eh?It seems an almost impossible task to produce a single original photograph, and
completely impossible to come up with an original style.
If you're working in photoshop, you might try making a copy of the layer, do a curve adjustment on it that takes the flare way down to where you want it. That will have the unwanted effect of making the rest of the shot too dark, so use a gradation on the adjustment layer mask from top right to lower left (or some angle that works) to leave the non-flare portion correct. (it's always easier to do than it is to describe, sorry).Incidentally, I've had some serious problems in reducing the flare. This is by far the best version I've managed so far. Any tips?
