I took a last second drive to take a quick pic as the sun was coming down. I think I might have pushed the boundaries of reality a bit here, but as I was messing around in the raw, I found a lot of purple in the sky that didn't show up in the photo. I also remember that the sun was setting and the sun was particularly orange against the sky. I wanted to show that here, hopefully in a not too unrealistic way.

Shooting RAW really opens up the possibilities. I lent my zoom lens to a buddy and taught him to increase exposure and track the car to get motion blur. I was able to find the clouds and color behind all that haze and over-exposure. Adding some dramatic lighting and shading to draw the eye to the car made this photo pop.

After: Before: After: The last set are almost identical...take a second apart. But I must have deep 6'd the original for the "After" shot. But the conditions are exactly the same, hell the people on the pier are the same. Oddly enough, I never remember to save the original after I edit. I have killed off a lot of my originals!

This one is kinda cheating a bit, but the before is all the exposures involved just thrown on and set to lighten with no other editing involved. I did that to illustrate the positions of the flash I used. The second is the final product.

If you're new to post processing photos, shooting in RAW format, as stated above, os highly recommended. The photos save a whole lot of detail that can be extracted when editing them. The downside to this is the size of the photos is significantly bigger and they look flat straight out of the camera.
If you've never used any software to correct your photos previously, I'd highly recommended Luminar. It's super simple and the newer versions use AI quite well. |

this thread has motivated me to finally buy a camera! I'm decent-ish in photoshop but would always just edit other peoples photos for fun. I was thinking about upgrading my phone but then thought... everything on my phone is fine, its just the camera thats holding it back (pixel 2)... so why not just get a real camera?
bought a canon eos rp mirrorless + 24-105mm f/4-7.1 Lens + polarizing filter to get me started. might get another lower aperture lens in the future for more bokeh, or just create the effect in photoshop.

If you want an easy fast lens to play with that doesn't cost that much, try the "nifty 50" 50mm f/1.8. If want something a little more interesting I recommend the 85mm f/1.8, which to me is a nice lens for automotive photography. I used it for this shot: M3CS by JMG, on Flickr

thanks. yeah i keep forgetting big aperture = low f-stop. Doing more research and i agree... better to have the right lens for the job than to try and create an effect in photoshop. less time consuming this way too. I downloaded LR last night and played around with it, a bit more intuitive for color correction / lighting than photoshop. camera should be here next wednesday. looking forward to playing around with the settings, subject matter, and getting some feedback here.

just a couple i've done so far. I took your advice jmg and just ordered the nifty fifty lens. For the second photo i took inspiration from VisualEcho and his post #190 flipping from noon to night.

Nice work keep at it! I would add a little blue to the night shot as see if that adds some atmosphere.
