Hello Marko

Perfectly managed light..seems exposure is just right to bring out a well balanced saturation of black and white shades..

Like the layers and the sharpness..deepens the compo..good job overall :)

Cheers
Sayeed

Hi Marko,
Slicica je 5+



And here I have a tip for you.
There is a method called DRI (Dynamic Range increase).
In short terms it means you take by night from the same point WITHOUT moving the camera (tripod needed) more photos, one overexposed and one at least totally underexposed and later you combine them into one.

Have a look to this link, it is in German, if you need help, let me know.
You surely have to try several times, but then your nightshots will be "a burner".... :-)

Or I try to explain it here, because it is a bit tricky:



DRI means you take the exact same picture (mostly nightshots) from the exact same point (tripod!!!)
with different exposure times (first one totally underexposed, so you can see only the lights, and the brightest overexposed, so you have enough light).

Typical steps at night:
1 sec, 5, 10 and 20 seconds.
In photoshop you open all pictures. You start first with the brightest (br) and then you copy and paste into (br) the second brightest or other way around the next darkest (2br).

You dismark the now copied second layer (2br), so you see just the (br).
Now you choose "select" , "color range" and then "highlights".

Here it is now for the next steps a bit tricky.
You have to find now the hightest value by testing (you press control+alt+d) and start with the highest (Max=250, min=0,2) if a message appears go 30er steps down. Once the value is found you press ok/enter.

Now you remark the second layer (2br) and you see the first result.
YOu repeat this now with the 3 picture, means dismark, select, highlights, value approx. less 30% of the last value you have chosen.

Once done with all pictures, you flatten the picture and there you are, best possible light control.

Try to follow my text with the pictures of the tut, you will for sure understand.


Give it a try and once you upload a photo let me know.
Ciao
