(#1) The sword is not aligned correctly as seen at arrow and (#2) a bag at right side distracts view point significantly. We can improve the situation with Easy skills […]

Sharpen makes photo sharp, but how? Almost all post-processing programs offer ‘Sharpen’ to make photo crisp and sharp. Sometimes different naming used, for example, ‘Unsharp mask’ in Photoshop which is actually a sharpen. No matter what name, Sharpen works basically in 2 steps; Extract the ‘outline’ of image Increase the contrast of the outline to make […]

Which one, Lightroom? Or Photoshop? The original photo, shot with Mitakon 50mm f0.95 lens and processed minimal in Lightroom. So far, I’ve been used Lightroom presets extensively for black and white photography.

My plan was to go the Saturday Flea Market, but arrived too late after meandering small picturesque alleys (canals) in the city and ended up shooting the market place, esp Hudson’s Bay in here… It would be better to rent a bicycle to have round trip of the city canals, but I took a walk […]
Wide Angle lens Panorama It is difficult to merge 2 shots in Panorama seamlessly when use wide angle lenses. Stitching 2 photo requires precise ‘jointing line’ but perspective distortion inherited wide angle lens often ended up uneven jointing line, exaggerated distortion or weird result. Erasmus Bridge with 17mm lens Here is 2 photos to be […]
Starting point – in front of Rijks Museum. Rembrant’s ‘Night Watch’ has been restored recently. It is a beautiful master piece indeed but looks too fresh to be hundreds years old painting. Restoration may be too good or too perfect… :- ) Dutch maritime exhibition, even the model itself is very impressive […]
Structural under exposure and yellow smearing The first thing I noticed when switch to Sony A7 II couple of years ago is the picture underexposed usually at normal exposure. When develop raw files in the Lightroom, I have to crank most of the them up +0.5 to +1.5 exposure steps, therefore suspect Sony body intentionally […]
I have had a certain expectation on Canon 85/1.2 (so called Mantou lens) before purchasing, so in here review if it performs as expected. Key areas to check are AF accuracy in various shooting environment (this is a buying point for me as manual lens user) and color rendition on Sony body. I use Carl […]
Photo Technique: exposure to avoid highlight wash out When shoot this scene, noticed strong and bright lighting illuminates foreground of the building, it will wash out highlight hopelessly in normal exposure. Compensate exposure for highlight will darken other area too much. Then, bracketing is the only way, right? To balance highlight and dark area & […]
Remove or add human factor? Last time, I processed couple of photos right after returning from 1st shoot-out to CKS park & throw them to Opeanut Group page asking critique and feedback. I’ve been there clearly in mind to take cityscape, such as architecture & structure, but I lost direction how to develop them & […]
