Post your 'Before' & 'After' Post Processing pictures


hi , can you please care to share how could I blend multiple photos just like yours? i reckon you shot on tripod and not handheld right? I am very new to pp. sorry for noobie question.

Hi,

Here's a good tutorial from Luminous Landscapes - basically it's just layer-work, so the technique is documented in quite detail there. I'm afraid no one can really help with the previsualization or identification or which exposures you want to present in the final version. That is always a personal interpretation and different people will give different outputs from the same exposures even... I hope this helps!

Again blending both "A" and "B" in Photoshop.

Remove 12% color cast in foreground to have natural color and texture of the rocks.

Final result

Three images blended manually:

I could figure out the first exposure was to expose for the sky, and the third is for the details on the rocks. The second exposure is exposing for...?

Reflection of sky on water - first is too dark, second is blown. ;) Also used it to brighten up some parts of the sky.
