A reader Dave asked me how I created the high key look of a particular image so rather than going into a wordy explanation I thought I would do it visually, I am a photographer after all.<\/p>\n

The image asked about was this one and how I modified it to get that particular look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first thing I did was to decrease the colour temperature of the image by 450 degrees to make the image cooler.<\/p>\n

This is the result of that change.\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The next thing to be done was to add a slight green tint also to modify the overall colour and feel of the image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0I then increased the exposure about 1 stop.\u00a0 This is could be done at the time of capture as well but in this case I had a properly exposed image to begin with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The last step was to desaturate the image and add a small amount of fill light which opens up the shadow side of the tree giving a flatter yet more silvery final\u00a0image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course any one or more of these parameters could be treated differently and while I like presets for convenience I also believe it’s necessary\u00a0to treat each image individually to get the best look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
