MFT is really quite capable at bokeh for the sensor size

beeftweeter I have some good news

I've worked out I can compensate for highly raised blacks by increasing the saturation/vibrance carefully

the only thing I don't like about raised blacks is that it can feel like I'd added a grey wash to the image, and increasing the colour carefully I can overcome that, and then end up with an image that really hits the heart AND the mind

that is good news

serious suggestion: have you tried playing with the curves? not just luminosity, there's overall rgb chroma and individual r/g/b curves also. it's something i almost never neglect to do because it can honestly be the difference between a good photo and a great one, imo. at first r/g/b individually probably isn't necessary, but luma and overall chroma is usually a must i think

also one of the photos I took, these were the settings. perhaps someone would tweak it bit but it didn’t need it to look good. sunsets just are that valuable

imo play around with some more points on there. if you like the lifted black look then you can still achieve that but with an actual black point set

afaik though you can't do luma only with lightroom, the "white" option seems to be rgb to me. i know you can do it with photoshop though

How do I lighten up this George pic in a better way than just using the auto adjust?



lighter how? something like this?



(some tweaking on the curves + lower contrast)

it really isn't a dark photo per se, it's just that the highlights and shadows are a bit uneven

e: from there tweaking the contrast again

tried a macro thing



it is honestly hard to tell that these are bugs. at first i thought it was a wicker chair or something

i'm not sure i have any specific advice since i've never dealt with the subject but i'd try to maximize contrast somehow. it's not really clear what the subject actually is

hah well there you go. it also looks like little bees :v:

i wouldn't say it was unsuccessful in that case, i had assumed you were just shooting bees again

...which would have been apparently unsuccessful. but they're not bees! so don't worry about it. lol

I guess more like the 2nd one

it's still the same curve as in the comparison, i just lowered the highlights a bit to -50% and the contrast went to -35%. i think before that i had it at -50% also, but that looks kinda washed out

hope people don't mind me bragging too much but I had a victory yesterday:

In the break room at work, someone out of the blue said "hey echi your photo page is awesome" and I said "you mean, the photos I take?" and she said yes. and then she told me about how she was "showing off" to someone else that she knew this dude (me) who took all these photos.

I was stoked, and it really out of left field which made it good.

that's great :) it's weird when people recognize you from your work and not the other way around. real bizarre at first

sagebrush's post is pretty good. if it's still confusing maybe think of it as a physical engraving that you're making, idk, ink prints of. an "overexposure" in that case can be thought of as something with sharper relief: it's simply easier to make copies of

you're making copies of a negative too

if you can do EV compensation then imo thats the easiest way. most cameras just bracket those values anyway, on most manufacturers the button usually looks like +/-

but otherwise tef is right, either use a ND filter (which kinda limits you to two stops i guess) or figure out your shutter speeds manually. i'm not sure how advanced of a photographer you might be so this could be obvious but you generally don't want to bracket different aperture values since the results won't match
