Damien Symonds Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 What do you think it is that characterises the photos you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marthatphotography Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 I think it's the soft, creamy tones and it's almost like there's a haze too. Playing with color layers gets me no where. I know I'm doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Have you read this? What leaps out from your photo and smacks me in the face is the terrible mixed lighting. You MUST get that under control if you desire beauty in your shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marthatphotography Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yes I've read it. Are you saying lighting will make all the difference? This images was natural light which I hate and I have since ordered my PLM but it's on back order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Gosh yes, lighting is most of the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marthatphotography Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Okay thank you Damien. I will post here again when I've received my PLM and used it for some shots. In the meantime, is this photo hopeless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Gosh no! Once you do your raw processing, then the cast correction, it'll look beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marthatphotography Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 How's this? It's a slightly more zoomed out version. I preferred it over the closer shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Great. So I suggest trying Cooling Filter LBB for the warm cast on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
