In this week's video, we are looking at one of Jeff's favourite street photographs from a recent trip to London. He explains how he took the photo and shows us the Lightroom editing process that completely transformed the image.

Great image and effective editing. I like editing that accentuates what is in the image but also communicates how the photographer saw the image -- an interpretive element, I guess. I really like these videos, and I learn a lot about street photography and post-processing. Thanks!

About this comment on the beginning, in my hummble opinion, shooting from the hip delivers a better POV than shooting at eye level.

while i do understand the breakdown of the image and why you like it, my preference would have been to go in closer and higher up, but then again i like to shoot more portrait style :)
@WalkLikeAlice
@WalkLikeAlice Год назад
For me, If I was closer I would have lost where the image was taken and several compositional elements too. The curve on the left of the image, the buildings across the street. There is also an increased risk of appearing in the reflection. She would have also noticed me walking towards her and that would have changed the shot. But it does show how we are all different in our approaches, and that has to be a good thing.

Great work! Just wondering why the finishing touches had to be done in photoshop?
@WalkLikeAlice
@WalkLikeAlice Год назад
Lightroom isn’t quite accurate enough in terms of tonal range, so in more complex edits, I’ll finish the work in photoshop with a 16bit TIFF as it’s very accurate. I’ll also work in the sRGB colour space as that’s what my printer prefers. In a fully controlled editing environment, you can see quite a difference between the image in LR and the TIFF in PS.

I never knew people would flex over holding a camera to your eye to get a shot...but then again I think the best photographers of the human experience are just ghosts. Great frame, and once again it makes me want to trade my beloved M240 for the M9M.
@WalkLikeAlice
@WalkLikeAlice Год назад
Thank you. I think the M240 is a terrific camera. One of my students went to an M11 from an M240. During one particular session, we were looking at the files and it wasn’t even a contest. The M240 files were so much better. Fantastic highlight retention and a really nice feel to them. The M11 looked like a Sony. If I didn’t have the M9M, I would have the M246 Monochrom.

I don’t get the persons comment about not shooting from the hip. I still try and practice shooting from the hip. Sometimes I hit, other times I miss, but I find the angle has that element of making the subject more important in the frame, something film makers do in order to establish a characters importance in a scene. That’s my two cents anyway! Great picture!

There are a lot of comments on RU-vid that I don’t get. There are a lot of photography snobs who get offended very easily. Some people are just jealous. Others have issues. Either way, they are sent to test anyone with a channel on RU-vid.

Cracking capture and edit, did you give any thoughts to cloning out the office light reflection top left corner. You removed one with the crop, but one still remains. Great channel by the way 👍
@WalkLikeAlice
@WalkLikeAlice Год назад
Thanks Paul. I mentioned this in an earlier comment. It doesn’t bother me and it seems to be more noticeable on RU-vid than in photoshop. I wouldn’t clone it out though. It would have to be taken down in editing.

I think I read that a famous female artist once said: "Paintings are like people. You either like them or you don't." Whether she really said that or not, I don't know, but I do like your photo of this girl in Starbucks. I liked it even before you altered it with Lightroom (?). Have you ever thought to do a video titled: "What do great paintings and great photographs have in common?"?
@WalkLikeAlice
@WalkLikeAlice 5 месяцев назад
Not really as we aren’t into paintings and classical art. The only paintings we own are original abstract pieces. Movies are more our thing when it comes to visual inspiration outside of photography. We have around 1000 of them on blu-ray/DVD.

@@WalkLikeAlice , that's interesting. Cartier-Bresson thought of photography as "instant paintings." Evidently you don't see a connection between paintings and photography.

Jeff, based in Scotland I am predominantly a landscape and astrophotographer (I used to do weddings when I was at university and for about a decade after, and I love photographing in a documentary style also) so I enjoyed watching your editing style here. You have always been a big inspiration to me; most weddings I shot I had a 35 1.4/85 prime lens and not much more. I'm interested in your position on black point specifically for files you display on the internet. Do you like to adjust the RGB curve in order to have some black point fade, effectively softening the deepness of the blacks (in B&W or colour images), or do you modify your approach on an image basis? What did you do in this image? When I first started out I was always crushing blacks because I actually liked and still do like that for some images. Others I am modifying the curve much more (for 'traditional' style landscape photography) if I feel the image requires it. I am a guy that often prefers a high white point as it gives an image a punch - I notice this in a lot of your work.
@WalkLikeAlice
@WalkLikeAlice 11 месяцев назад
Thanks for your comments. Everything is done on a per image basis and is judged by eye in a colour and light balance environment. For critical work, I’ll also check everything while soft proofing but this isn’t necessary for RU-vid, Instagram etc. Hope this helps.
@stevenrobinsonpictures
@stevenrobinsonpictures 11 месяцев назад
@WalkLikeAlice it does thanks. So would you ever intentionally clip and block the blacks (or bring them very close to it) in a print / for screen image or is that a big no no for you?

I get you with the hip shooting technique, it's not something that I do often. But, I was up briefly in London (in the very area of your video) on Saturday. Whilst I was there, I spent most of my time purposefully shooting from the hip to practise that skill more. I find there are times where either I can't get the camera up to my eye quick enough for something that has just appeared or because I actually want a lower angle. Hip shooting is just another tool in the box, as you say.
@WalkLikeAlice
@WalkLikeAlice Год назад
Absolutely. I am constantly amazed at how narrow-minded some photographers are. It’s a technique. One of many we use in photography. But for some people, it offends their purist outlook on photography. 🙄
@wylie_photo
@wylie_photo Год назад
@@WalkLikeAlice I expect they are getting confused between using the technique in a so-called ‘cowardly’ was versus genuine use cases. It’s actually a tricky technique to master for, I usually point the camera an inch too low!

great capture and edit, but I wondered why you chose to leave the lights in the upper left in the image as for me they tend to grab my eye to the edge as one is a bright hotspot right on the frame edge. thanks for sharing
@WalkLikeAlice
@WalkLikeAlice Год назад
Thanks for your comments. Those highlights honestly don’t bother me. They are far enough away not to compete with the main subject. They do look a little brighter on YT than in photoshop. We have noticed that sometimes highlight and shadow areas can be emphasised when the video is uploaded to RU-vid. Their compression algorithm isn’t the greatest and, given the stages we have to go through to get the image looking half-decent in a video timeline, I’m amazed the photos still hold up!!
