It’s #TravelTuesday and I, Dave Williams, here again! This week, I’m writing from northern Norway, where the northern lights dance above my head as I knock and I hear reindeer outside among the trees. I will express my opinion about Youtube Channel on Sunday if you want to see.
This week, I want to share a rather weird trick to help you see the light when shooting, if that’s what you’re trying to learn. I wrote before about How to read Charts, I obviously wrote on a plane flying to Orlando one day, and that’s an important skill we should have as a photographer. However, interpreting the histogram on a screen versus seeing the actual light are two different things. So here’s the weird trick:-
First of all, before you do anything, know that to do this effectively, you have to take raw photos! That way, you can make the right adjustments in the article. You’ll see why in a second…
This is a hairy highland cow. You’ll (hopefully) immediately know that the colors are all wrong. Well, that’s the trick! When we shoot outside, we usually have Warm White Balance. Keep that information in mind while I also say this: When we look at our preview screens, we often consider composition and colors first and while learning how to see light. , we may not notice it.
If we shoot in a special White Balance, such as Tungsten or Fluorescent outside, or Sunny inside, we will knock out the colors and start to see a difference in tone rather than color. right color tone. It’s much easier for us to see the lights and shadows because we’ve removed something in the image – the colors are accurate. We can fix the White Balance in the article because we shoot raw, like this:-
This is honestly the weirdest photography tip I’ve ever written, but trust me, it works! It will help you see the light on the preview screen before shooting if you are still learning how to do so.
Now I will return to the aurora photography.
From Norway, much love
Dave
