Would like to have any comments or advice.
For the images above Original Rev 1 Rev 2 Rev 3 Here's a photo needing much help. I wouldn't bother except this is the best EMU photo I have.
Situation: In a van, at 50MPH, at deep dusk. EMU's are ~100 yards away. Camera settings: Maximum Telephoto (600mm), f/4,1/1000 sec, AWB, Auto ISO(1600), Continuous focus. Original: Dark and very noisy, but focus was pretty good, considering. Rev. 1 Cropped Image Increased Exposure +2.37 Shadows: +30 Increased Texture, Vibrance and Clarity White Balance: Increased Temp. from 4.5K to 5.2K Rev. 2 Edited Photo in Topaz Denoise and Sharpen. Masked facial skin patches and added blue back into skin, which was removed when I adjusted WB. Rev.3 Used B&W Presets set to Infrared. Readjusted: Exposure +.44 Contrast +11 Highlights +2 Be Blunt. Was it worth the effort? Does anyone have ideas on what I might have done differently in the editing process? Another trip to Australia to get a good daylight shot, setup on a tripod at 25 yards is not in the cards. I like the B&W because of the contrast of the grass from the birds. Comments? |
