1
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:17,390
trip to Australia my husband and I
stayed in Kangaroo Island and we said at
2
00:00:17,390 --> 00:00:21,980
a really beautiful accommodation where
this is basically what you're seeing
3
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:28,200
here is the view right off of our patio
from her room we had a really great view
4
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,800
of the bay and you know there's some sky
back there as well so when I decided to
5
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,079
do was I decided to get up really early
to photograph the sunrise was really
6
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:43,470
hoping for something dramatic and really
beautiful and crazy because we've seen
7
00:00:43,470 --> 00:00:49,880
some amazing clouds while we've been in
Australia unfortunately this is all we
8
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,120
really had just a sliver of clouds and
there wasn't really much going on in the
9
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:59,809
sky beautiful sunrise and really focus
on the landscape and scenery the sky is
10
00:00:59,809 --> 00:01:02,700
usually the most crucial aspect of
course the light you are the light to be
11
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:07,729
gorgeous by there were just weren't any
clouds in the sky so what I did was you
12
00:01:07,729 --> 00:01:11,640
know I was kinda hoping that it would
get better sometimes if you wait around
13
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,709
things get better but nothing was really
happening so you know I stuck around a
14
00:01:17,709 --> 00:01:25,819
little bit but then I realized I have
this gorges bunch of lavender right in
15
00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:30,799
front of me and bees which is buzzing
buzzing around it so what I did was I
16
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:37,079
ended up focusing on the lavender and I
kind of played around
17
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:41,569
scanty these photos but I played around
with the light with the settings and
18
00:01:41,569 --> 00:01:47,179
even with the different compositions
that I could find a nice it'll be the
19
00:01:47,179 --> 00:01:50,549
land around the fire but I don't like it
was happening off in the background here
20
00:01:50,549 --> 00:01:55,929
I had a little too much white space as
big blob of something over there and
21
00:01:55,929 --> 00:02:00,259
then eventually that son just started
popping out of the clouds and it was not
22
00:02:00,259 --> 00:02:03,109
in the right place it's almost dead
center in the photo so usually I want
23
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:08,580
those to be off in the corner from a
bring any Sun flare sunlight and moving
24
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:13,610
my composition over so I have a little
bit more focus on one particular
25
00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:17,810
lavender and I have a son off in the
distance and I'm just gonna quickly
26
00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:22,470
scans room you can see how the light
changes so quickly in these kind of
27
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:23,410
moments you really need
28
00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:27,490
quick because this is one moment when
it's out of the cloud and then it goes
29
00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:31,960
right behind a cloud in the late but
everything changed so dramatically but
30
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,060
this kind of went on and on eventually I
did kind of change my composition just
31
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:44,540
slightly you get to that in a second
rows so I went from that to that and you
32
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:48,450
know just moved my lavender the nose
focusing on over to the left a little
33
00:02:48,450 --> 00:02:51,670
bit now I will say when you're focusing
on something like this and you really
34
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:54,320
want you know I was basically just
waiting for Mb
35
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,560
to land right on this little flower it's
nerve-wracking if you want to make any
36
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,050
changes because you're afraid the moment
you do that you're going to land on that
37
00:03:03,050 --> 00:03:08,760
flower then you're gonna miss that
moment thankfully I was able to get the
38
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:15,110
shot I want to do and nothing happened
in change so scroll down to photos that
39
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:20,060
I ended up selecting from the site
United was very patient and I took photo
40
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:24,670
after photo after photo and the main
photo that I wanted to use this one
41
00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:26,450
right here and it's nice
42
00:03:26,450 --> 00:03:31,700
be it landed right on this fire for me I
may have a beautiful flair coming off
43
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:35,810
and you know it'll go off on the left
but everything is back-lit colors really
44
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:39,560
nice and it needs to be edited and
process manipulated a little bit but
45
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,530
overall I got a really good seen here
but it can feel like there is something
46
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:44,130
missing
47
00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:48,900
I took so many other photographs that
there had to be something else that I
48
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:53,489
could use and so I realize I have this
guy right here with this cool little out
49
00:03:53,489 --> 00:03:58,160
of focus be floating in the background
so I decided I was going to use both of
50
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:09,239
the images they go back to my main image
I'm just highlight it and click d to go
51
00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:14,560
to the developmental and I'm gonna go
ahead and start processing the overall
52
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,820
this image you know is obviously way to
balance is really really off so I'm
53
00:04:19,820 --> 00:04:24,930
gonna go ahead in classes unless we have
the full screen here I'm gonna go to the
54
00:04:24,930 --> 00:04:31,330
basic model and I'm going to reduce that
temperature down
55
00:04:31,330 --> 00:04:38,759
gonna find a nice they're just going to
kind of player under things increase the
56
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:44,500
magenta to bring back some of that
purple beautiful purple pink house
57
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:47,270
because it's kind of a theme for the
image and its gonna go ahead do quick
58
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:52,639
talking back and forth to see that white
balance change that have made so far I'm
59
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:56,129
gonna go ahead and mess with my exposure
and just kind of you bring a little
60
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:59,759
brightness and contrast internecine
61
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:05,180
increase my exposure little bit my kind
of faded things out so I'm gonna play
62
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:11,319
with my contrast and see if adding a
little bit of that a lot I want those
63
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:17,139
nice in contrast you not so much lower
push things out of you know the details
64
00:05:17,139 --> 00:05:23,569
out of line but enough so that it really
makes things pop go ahead and play with
65
00:05:23,569 --> 00:05:32,860
my highlights I guess I really like to
bring things to the extremes to see what
66
00:05:32,860 --> 00:05:38,259
they're doing and then you know kind of
settle on something after that blacks
67
00:05:38,259 --> 00:05:45,550
are going too far my blocks quick toggle
back and forth my white balance and make
68
00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:53,930
them a bit more blue their final toggle
ok we're looking good so far my clarity
69
00:05:53,930 --> 00:05:57,120
you don't really want to push it up
that's going to just kind of make things
70
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,060
look strange money actually bring it
down a little bit off and everything I
71
00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:05,219
don't want to soften it too much though
because I don't want to lose that do you
72
00:06:05,219 --> 00:06:13,099
tell the beaver I think we'll be ok if I
just need a little bit I'm going to
73
00:06:13,099 --> 00:06:16,240
increase some of that vibrance and
player and the virus and saturation
74
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,029
vibrance really just affects a lot of
the greens and yellows in the image you
75
00:06:20,029 --> 00:06:24,839
can see what it's doing fine go all the
way to the right as a little too much so
76
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:31,469
I hang out in 30 or 40 is owned by
saturation 12 sometimes when I increase
77
00:06:31,469 --> 00:06:35,319
the virus and decreases saturation a
little bit so I might even put
78
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:39,139
environment up a little bit more and
then decrease that saturation I'm gonna
79
00:06:39,139 --> 00:06:43,459
talk about it we've got going on I'm
gonna bring back some of those natural
80
00:06:43,459 --> 00:06:47,240
break colors that were there in the
original scene ok so now I'm gonna go
81
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,680
into my tone curve and a little bit more
contrast to this summer I think it's
82
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,959
like playing with this little drop down
here in the white curve and a nice
83
00:06:54,959 --> 00:07:00,800
strong contrast you got a little too
much for me so I'm going back to the
84
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,310
museum contrast ok I kinda like that and
i cant even a little bit more on this
85
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:13,250
later maybe bring back some of those
shadows wanna play to much of the darks
86
00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:20,110
under this highlights I'm about to the
right a little bit too night lol so we
