I really like the photos! Makes me want to go back to Japan and shoot more!

[Jia Wang]

Got very homely feeling :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Homely? Hmmm, first time I hear comments like this? Thanks U Japanese by any chance?

 

[Jia Wang]

:thumbsup: Very nice...I like it especially the exposure and lighting in 1, 3, 4, 9:thumbsup:

Thanks Big Kahuna... the cloudy weather helped a lot... I initially was quite disappointed when I reached Japan with this kind of weather... But then realised that it's perfect condition for shooting as the sky acted like a huge diffuser and I didn't have to compete with the harsh sunlight from the dark shadows...

Ehh... I not so complicated as zoossh...

Basically I do my processing in Photoshop.
1) process photos for contrast/ saturation etc in it's max resolution (72 dpi oso not a problem for me cos' screen display don't need up till 300 dpi I think)

2) resize, USM and save in maximum quality (12)

That's all...

I use Pbase as it doesn't compress or reduce quality of my photos which I uploaded... some other sites will do that and that explains why some photos that we see has pixelation etc...

Hope this helps

what's pbase and usm?

it depends. some scenaries looks better with shadows.

Pbase = the webhost I upload my photos to... see http://www.pbase.com/jiawang

USM = Unsharp Mask filter in Photoshop...

Of course you are right as well... The photographer determines what he wants in his shot

i think if we are to post in website, we need to use USM to give that extra sharpening cos there will be some sharpness loss during uploading. correct?

What an impressive series of well captured photos. All pictures were nicely composed. I really like the framing in #9.

Actually, USM can oso be applied for prints as well...

Here's a simple article on how USM can enhance digital photos...
