didn't intentionally HDR it, just trying to make it pop a little. It was very flat and the couple with the child was very dark. The sky was blown out (sorry, I was thinking of another pic that I was going to edit where the sky was blown out, I was going to drop this sky behind them) so I just layered it and dropped a gradient.

Here's the original:


hmm... maybe I could back off some of the hdr feel a bit... I'll keep playing with it...

Gotta be honest, and not trying to be mean...but I think this about most all of your pics.


My nightlife pics I intentionally process them a certain way, as well as the fitness ones that I do. Other event shots I try to just push a few levels without over doing them. I don't want to fall into a rut of processing everything the same way, so if I do, let me know if it's overcooked.

Try dropping the saturation on it, the background even more than the subjects. You did fine brightening them up, but now they're over-saturated.

the original is crooked, the "fixed" one is centered based on the railroad track. Nothing I could do about the stuff in the background. I don't remember what metering I had set when I did the shot, but I normally shoot on spot metering. I can't remember if the flash fired or not or if this is just natural light,I have to go back and check the exif data. It also doesn't help that we're standing in the shadow of a building. When I originally scouted the location, the sun was higher in the sky and this segment of track would have been better illuminated.

lol... no, the theme of the party for the kid was trains, so to keep with the theme, since there were no trains around that we could use as a prop, I decided the train track would be a cool location... unfortunately it was a "live" track so I wasn't able to spend a lot of time on there getting pictures for fear of a train coming.

I thought it had to do with the whole 'wrong side of the tracks' thing but the funny was both sides of this track are garb, and right smack dab in the middle is this family standing tall amongst it...

It's a cool picture for the kid to remember. Hell I still love trains /never going to grow up.

To me, it makes everything feel smoggy...

I think a little less of it would work and let some blues come through to not feel so smog-like, but as it sits, it reminds me of a not-so-windy day in LA...

If I don't need a flash for a shoot, I bring one.

If I need one, I bring two.

yeah, either 1/32 or 1/16, or somewhere in between. When I go off camera, hand held, I dial it down to about that. If I could go back and do it all again.....
