So here are a few more pictures from Mexico. I tried to learn a few things about post-editing.
f2.8, SS 1/800. CS4 vibrance, sharpen, magnetic select bouquet to lighten. Let me tell you how much I LOVE that magnetic select button ;-)
Turned it into B&W by adjusting different color levels in CS4 (nope, I didn't just click a button or use an action (mostly b/c I don't know HOW to use an action yet!)
What do you think.... which way do you like it better? Leave a comment & tell me what you think.
f4, SS 1/800. CS4 brightened, sharpened, increased vibrance.
Decreased saturation. I want peoples eyes to find their way to the bride & groom. I need to do this again & get their faces to be more saturated... but the magnetic select was being a bit of a pain this day. I will revisit.
f3.5, SS 1/1250, CS4 sharptened, tightened the curve just a bit to make the sky not so "white".
I LOVE the way the sun hit the glasses , the brides & the glasses on the bar. I love the casual gathering and "scene". I love the architecture. What I don't like is the stupid bartender. I am not sure how to get rid of him though.
This crop definitely loses part of the scene & makes the picture more boring.
I like this crop better... but I still lose a bit of architecture.
What crop would you use???
Would you do some different edits?
Tell me in the comments ;-)
I love the shot of the bouquet! I actually think I prefer it in color, just because the colors are so soft and pretty, but I think having a b&w option is always great!
ReplyDeleteI like that you desaturated the second photo. In the full color shot I'm definitely drawn to the heads of the crowds more.
I also love your candid shot of the bride in conversation. I'm not sure which of your edits I like better...I do like the bartender OUT! No offense to him or anything... :)
I can tell that this was just a beautiful wedding!
I think I prefer the photo of the bouquet in color. I love your photos!
