kdgonzalez 37 Posted January 23 Recent trip, December 2022 to La Paz. Thankfully no problem coming in with the camera. Snorkel with whale shark, Los isolates with sea lions, and the Chinese wreck. Weather moved in and couldn’t dive more. Looking for feedback. whale shark-13 by Karyll Gonzalez, on Flickr DSC_4823 by Karyll Gonzalez, on Flickr DSC_4729 by Karyll Gonzalez, on Flickr DSC_5075 by Karyll Gonzalez, on Flickr DSC_5140 by Karyll Gonzalez, on Flickr DSC_5106 by Karyll Gonzalez, on Flickr https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAjqwt 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimG 62 Posted January 23 Nice! If you have LR I'd be tempted to: - use the Dehaze slightly on the whale shark pics. I think that would give them slightly more eight and definition. And maybe cool the pictures a bit - they seem to haver a red tinge to them (the fishball one especially) - reduce the highlights on the fishball. The fish to the right of centre look over exposed and reducing the highlights might sort this out a bit - one the final shot, the wreck with the cables, maybe lighten up the shadows a bit? Both those wreck shots are nicely atmospheric. I hope that helps a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WetPhotoGuy 1 Posted January 29 I would love to capture a shot of a whale shark! Great job these are very cool!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRoss 150 Posted January 29 Some nice shots, here I agree with Tim on his comments, though You might be better served by going back to the Raw file and if if you raised shadows there backing off a bit, it's very easy to turn things milky when using an overall shadows boost, my preferred approach is to us luminosity masks which works best in full Photoshop. A shadow mask pinned low to stop lightening the darkest shadows does wonders.This I mean click the curve and adjust the low point on the curve to 10 in to 8 out, slightly pulling down the very deepest shadows before pulling up the rest of the image. This would work well for the B&W wreck shot as well. I use the free version of the Tony Kupyer luminosity masks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
