I'm doing something a little different for this post...it's almost completely in video format. I'm going to go through each photo from each day and explain as much as I can about the set up's, shooting, editing, and theory behind them. If anyone has any question, leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer!

You pic is awesome! I'm curious, what did you do in post to it?
ReplyDeleteupped exposure by 1.4, increased contrast, highlights&whites, clarity and vibrance. What made a big difference for me was playing with noise reduction. It made the sky much smoother (obviously). The pic is a composite of 3: the sky, the arch illuminated by Victor from the side and the internal part of the arch illuminated by the people underneath it.
ReplyDeleteBTW: I enjoy reading your blog and your great pictures. My favorite of your Utah trip is the b/w version of delicate arch with the star trails, the texture in the arch came out really great. Oh, and also the ones from horseshoe bend. we stopped there for sunset and for sunrise and both times there wasn't a cloud in the whole sky.
It's a pity we didn't setup a bit lower in the delicate arch pics, we could have had the milky way seen through the arch instead of having mostly black in the hole. It will be for next time...
