Embracing Contrast Digital Photography Tutorial Part 1

Many tutorials deal with capturing extended tonal ranges with cameras using reflectors,fill in flash and HDR-Exposure blending software.

Many discuss shooting at dawn or dusk and avoiding harsh light.

In this video tutorial we explain that no light is bad light and this video shows how to embrace harsh summer light and the contrast that is often inherit with it.

In Part 1 we head to the coast where we shoot several locations followed by discussions within photoshop of how we select our shortlist of images and why.

In Part 2 we retouch the second of our shortlisted images from the shoot.

Digital Photography Tutorial Shapwick, “Develop Your Style And Retouch For It”

“Develop Your Style And Retouch For It” is the main theme for this tutorial, trying to shoot something that does not fit your vision then hoping Photoshop will come to the rescue will not produce fulfilling imagery.

Moored Between The Reeds

We head off before dawn and head out on location to Shapwick Heath on the wetlands of Somerset in England.
Here we explore several promising location where we attempt to capture images that are in keeping with my personal vision/style.
We discuss what I’m trying to get from the shots and explain why some don’t work for me although I try as I might to produce something from them anyway.

One Of The Locations That Just Did Not Do It For Me.

Back in the studio we view some of the images we captured and look at some of the finished files before being taken step by step through the retouching of one of the images.
During he screencast we see how the various adjustments can help accentuate what you have captured with the camera.
