The Official Photography Thread - Vol. 3

Hey do you have any tips on getting consistent edits? For example one picture isnt brighter then another. Not exposure wise but a picture as a whole so that if someone is viewing multiple pictures they are all similar and don't look off. I see a lot of people get great results with filters but I'm manually editing in lightroom. I have a work flow down, but now I'm trying to make each picture have consistent results
The Match Total Exposure option in the Settings dropdown.
 
Before and after from today, going to have to go back because the sun was on the opposite side so all the shots are underexposed :{

If you get an image to your liking, you can use "sync settings" in lightroom across the images you have selected. it saves me a lot of time.
 
You from around here too? Lol small world.

Oh nah, just visiting lol. From MD/DC but I live in SD now.

yup. were you there? :lol

Yeah :lol . My wife grew up with the bride. We were in the back with the baby, I believe right in front of your assistant. She showed me the photos yesterday, and I was like "that name sounds familiar. Wait, I've seen that site somewhere."

Dang what a small world. :eek

If you and your family are ever in the area, feel free to hit me up for photos.

I hit you with a follow on your ig page :hat
 
Respect to this thread. Love the knowledge sharing. Before I stuck to /p/, but it's ... well... it's own culture.

DJ thanks for the tips. Love the Instagram stuff I've already seen come across.

Re: the double exposure I posted... that's an effect I used via Nik Analog Pro 2, but it could easily be done in photoshop. Just stack two photos, move one over, top layer opacity like 50-60%

That little kid boxing event in Alaska is DOPE. Dude I could see that in a big time magazine. That workshop sounds cool @astronout

Same kid, same shoot. Thoughts?

Those are nice photos. The broski in the pictures is a very photogenic person as well, which helps. The indentation on the second photo in the concrete in the background bothers me. It is rather distracting, and, in my opinion, does not add anything to the photo.
