I really enjoyed this task due to the fact that when I shoot, I wouldn't think twice about using an image that perhaps had a lot of dark shadows in it or if the image was so over exposed all the detail was washed out of it. I would almost always think about deleting them straight away. But our lecture this week taught me that even if an image isn't perfectly lit or exposed when originally shot, you can still make it look beautifully detailed and exposed when recovering it in Photoshop.
So this week I went out shooting in different lighting situations that would make the image look purposely over or under exposed by 1 or 2 stops and shooting in RAW. I was really excited about getting the images into Photoshop and seeing what I can do with them.
These are my outcomes:
Under exposed by 2 stops
Over exposed by 2 stops
I really enjoyed doing this task, it was something I had never done or even thought about doing with an image that looked over or under exposed before so it was definitely something that really interest me. I love the colours and detail you get out of Photoshop after shooting in RAW, it gives the images a lot of depth and vibrancy after recovering the image, especially with the leaves and branches in each image. Even though this was only a short task, I am definitely going to carry on with this specific skill and work on images that I have shot with the incorrect exposure, it will allow me to keep practising the technique and also teach me not to just delete images just because they don't look perfect, without working on them first.
