Hey, What's up? Oh, you're finished with renovations? Good for you, awesome. What's
that? You are wondering if I have the photo of the kids I took in the summerduring sunset? I don't
remember I took a photo of the kids in a sunset. More like a noon photo.
Oh, if you like it you're gonna buy the canvas?
You know what, I just uh I remember that I actually do have
the photo of the kids I took in a summer in the sunset. If you give me like 10 minutes I'm
just gonna look uh look it up on the hard drive okay? I'll call you right back. You know what,
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna send it over. See ya. All right, let's uh work on this baby.
Let's change this photo from noon and let's create the perfect sunset photo. So I'm just going to
open up Lightroom, I'm going to bring the exposure down to the left to make sure that the photo looks
like it was done in the evening. Contrast, obviously we need to punch the photo. How
about, I'm going to go to curves,I'm gonna drag the shadows down to make it look even darker a
little bit, highlights up so that way I create the S curve and make it really contrasty.
Let's work with shadows. I'm gonna bring still a little bit lower, I think
about there and highlights I'm gonna bring a little bit higher.
I'm gonna go down and look at the temperature and obviously this is gonna be a golden sunset so
I'm gonna bring a little bit the orange tones up but I still like actually some red tones
in it too so I'm gonna play with the tint to make it that way. A little bit kind of like that.
Deep sunset and obviously vibrance yes. I want the punchy photo, very colorful. That's what
my photos are known for. Very colorful. Let's move on to the vignette and you know adjust the
edges a little bit to make it look like it is really taken in the evening. OK, my job is done
here. I need to go to Photoshop and it's easy. Just right click the photo and
uh hit selection edit in Photoshop. Now I'm gonna go ahead and replace the sky because
she wants a sunset, she's gonna get a sunset photo. Photoshop
has already a lot of skies built in so I'm just going to use a random one. How that would look
like? It's not so bad. I'm going to shift the edge a little bit, maybe more, maybe less.
Yeah, a little bit less. That's cool too. Actually, you can get so many different looks if
you just play with the shift but I remember that she wanted something unique so I'm gonna go to
my own collection of skies. I saved on a computer. That is not my collection but it's a
cool collection to have on a computer and you can import them. I'm going to play with those. That
one is cool. How about I'm going to try another one?
Let's see this one. It looks good. This one is very dramatic. Let's see how the photo would
look like. Yeah, that's cool but I think it's a little bit busy. The clouds are
too busy with the rocks so I'm gonna go ahead and change another
selection. How about I'm gonna go with these big clouds. Yeah, but that looks like
that could be done even on the day. Nope, I'm gonna go with another one. I think
I'm gonna go with those golden tones. That's exactly actually
what I thought I should do. That one is cool but still a little bit too empty on the right.
Oh I think I have the perfect one. This is very golden. Yeah, I'm gonna shift to the edge
make it more bold. That way I get the clouds a little bit more contrasty and I get some
reflection in the water. So that way it really looks like it was taken in the evening
and how about yeah, I'm going to leave it 32. I'm gonna fade
to the edge. Actually, let's start from the beginning. I'm gonna go to about 56 44, 49,
63 will do brightness. I want it darker. I like the moodier
photos so I'm gonna tone it down. Yeah, definitely tone it down. How about the minus,
minus six? And I'm gonna increase the size of this clouds make it a little bit larger. I actually
like it when I bring it up but then now I'm gonna choose something between. Good thing that
I can drag the sky. I can move it up and down, left and right. That way I can really manipulate
it. And how about I flip it? Now that's better because now the background behind the kids
is actually lighter and they really stand out in the shot. OK, let's position it perfectly.
That's good. It still needs a lot of work though. I'm gonna go to
lighting adjustment and put it all the way to 100 and color adjustments as well so
the sky really blends in with the rest of the photo but I think that the color
adjustment is a little bit too golden so I'm gonna tone it down a little bit, a little bit
blue but still more golden at the same time. So that's how I like it. You know, everybody likes
something else but that's how I like it. I'll leave it there at 82. Now it's time to go back
to Lightroom. I'm finished here. Exposure, I'll leave it. Contrast I'll bring it even more,
more contrast for sure and still I'm gonna play with the exposure a little bit. Almost the same.
Highlights I'm gonna tone them a little bit down. Like I said, I like the darker shot.
Shadows I'll leave it as it is almost. I'm gonna go to temperature and just a little bit probably
to plus seven. I'm gonna continue with the tint and maybe leave it still a little bit at
the towards the red side and now I need to play with the individual colors. Orange,
let's adjust that a little bit to about plus three. Greens are next. If I'm gonna go
to greener or less greener yeah a little bit darker plus 35. Another
color is next. Um I'm gonna play with that one and yellow tones, golden tones are gonna go to about
minus three. That should do it and I'm gonna dehaze or no yeah I'm gonna
de-haze it just tiny tiny bit, so plus 17. Clarity I don't like overly sharp photos so I'm just gonna
make it a little bit softer. That means, I'm gonna go to minus 13, 12, minus 12.
Next step I am going to select a brush tool because I want these um the rocks and the sand
I want a little bit lighter. I want it to pop so I'm gonna
brush the area and then expose it a little bit more. That way it's gonna get much lighter and
it's just it will stand out very nicely in the photo. The same I'm going to do with the other
side so I just hit the plus button and just select the other side and I think I should also do
the rocks a little bit so I have to increase the brush and select the front side of the
rocks. No I don't want to make it darker. I actually want it pop a little bit but not too
much, so just about plus 0.76 so not much, just a little bit. Some final touches are gonna happen
and that will be bringing the exposure down again, make it still a little bit darker and moody.
And the last touch would be bringing some haze there where the sunset is happening. So I'm
going to select the whole horizon and just leave it on the
haze. I like the haze there. Yes, I'm going to leave it there. Now we should
crop the image. I know it looks good as a whole but I think that she wanted that very narrow look
so yeah let's actually do some variations. I'm gonna leave it as the very wide kind of angle
look. Another look I'm gonna do a little bit bigger. That could be actually cool for Instagram.
Yeap, where are those old days of traditional photography.
You took the photo, you went to darkroom and it looked like that. Like when
you took the photo. Now this was done with a smartphone. It's more like a foolography.
You just kind of compose it together, you change everything. People like it,
that's how it is. 2021 Foolography.
