179
00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:20,280
what you end up with and that really
180
00:06:17,849 --> 00:06:22,470
just boils down to again looking at a
181
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,150
lot of images take a look at you know
182
00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:25,680
images that inspire you and look at the
183
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:28,560
properties of those images you know how
184
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,630
are the shadows very deep you know what
185
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,150
is the histogram look are we you know
186
00:06:30,630 --> 00:06:35,159
very heavily towards one side re
187
00:06:33,150 --> 00:06:36,690
clipping a lot of details maybe you know
188
00:06:35,159 --> 00:06:38,280
that's the style the photographer is
189
00:06:36,690 --> 00:06:40,139
very high contrast maybe that's what
190
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:42,479
you're drawn to look at
191
00:06:40,139 --> 00:06:44,490
sort of the the brightness of the skin
192
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:46,050
is it typically very bright is a little
193
00:06:44,490 --> 00:06:47,400
more low key look at things like
194
00:06:46,050 --> 00:06:49,169
highlights and shadows is there a
195
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,789
particular color cast that you notice
196
00:06:49,169 --> 00:06:51,840
overall to the image and is that what
197
00:06:50,789 --> 00:06:53,520
draws your eye
198
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:56,370
do you find that their skin tone is
199
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,650
typically more magenta or reddish or a
200
00:06:56,370 --> 00:07:00,840
little bit more blue to it so really
201
00:06:58,650 --> 00:07:02,129
kind of study those things and you know
202
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,349
see what you're drawn to but again
203
00:07:02,129 --> 00:07:06,779
trying to replicate the style of other
204
00:07:04,349 --> 00:07:08,819
photographers because ultimately you'll
205
00:07:06,779 --> 00:07:10,259
never be able to do it quite as well as
206
00:07:08,819 --> 00:07:12,479
they do and all its really going to end
207
00:07:10,259 --> 00:07:13,740
up being is just an imitation so try to
208
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:15,930
develop your own style and again that
209
00:07:13,740 --> 00:07:17,879
just comes with practice grab any image
210
00:07:15,930 --> 00:07:20,069
play around with some of these color
211
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:21,300
grading tools that we looked at sample
212
00:07:20,069 --> 00:07:22,919
things like the skin tones the
213
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:24,210
highlights the shadows just using
214
00:07:22,919 --> 00:07:26,819
something as simple as the color picker
215
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:28,439
and try and get a feel for what those
216
00:07:26,819 --> 00:07:30,180
tones are and you know do they lean
217
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:33,210
towards a particular color cast or
218
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:36,150
whatever maybe and yeah just practice
219
00:07:33,210 --> 00:07:37,919
practice practice until you kind of go
220
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:39,479
find your groove and like I said you'll
221
00:07:37,919 --> 00:07:41,219
probably change your mind on what you
222
00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:43,560
like is a color grade several times but
223
00:07:41,219 --> 00:07:45,089
ultimately will kind of settle into a
224
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,909
consistent pattern especially when it
225
00:07:45,089 --> 00:07:49,979
comes to things like contrast generally
226
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:51,300
speaking that's something that will stay
227
00:07:49,979 --> 00:07:53,400
pretty consistent with you throughout
228
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:55,080
and then you might tweak color slightly
229
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,159
this way or that way
230
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,629
so again I hope you found the course
231
00:07:56,159 --> 00:07:59,669
useful and learn a lot in the process
232
00:07:57,629 --> 00:08:00,510
and we'll see you in the next course
233
00:07:59,669 --> 00:08:11,529
bye for now
234
00:08:00,510 --> 00:08:11,529
