About the Image(s)
EQUIPMENT & EXIF
Canon R5 / EF 24-70 f/2.8L II USM & 1/640 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 640, 65 mm (shot free-hand)
IMAGE DESCRIPTION & INTENDED EFFECT
My wife and son on a chair swing ride at the fair that comes to Boise every year. I was trying to capture summer, and of course a fun, happy time that comes around once a year. Taking the image into the sun is something I enjoy doing, but don't often pull off, with the sun overwhelming the image. This is a rare exception that feels like it compliments rather than overwhelms though.
POST PROCESSING STEPS
Curiously... in going back and looking at what I did to this image, it was basically nothing (it almost looks like I forgot). I seemed to have dropped the blacks to -3, and that's it! No vignette, no crop, no other changes whatsoever, which makes me think the -3 on Blacks was an accident. Well, there you have it ;)

I would try to reduce the highlight and add some contrast. Perhaps I would remove the flare on your wife's shoulder. Posted: 11/08/2024 22:45:56
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad my intent translated ? Good catch on the lens flare on Holly's shoulder, that's why I love these critiques, seems I always miss something that's super obvious once pointed out, that I miss during the initial processing.
