I have been interested in photography all my life and remember quite well developing my first black and white films myself... My favorite subjects are...
@granagringa Hi! My camera is set to center-weighted metering mode. It may not be the best for this type of shot, but that was set up. Since the camera measures gray and I wanted black shadows, I applied exposure correction - in this case I gave -0.7 eV (I also tried with a larger correction and it was probably better). I chose this photo because of the most interesting setting of the children. In post-production, I brightened up the highlights and shadows a bit. Light, because I wanted a rim light effect. And the shadows, I wasn't sure how to brighten up. If I left the dark ones, they would be unreadable on a black background. And so after brightening the shadows, you can see a story here. You can discuss which is better. For me, the basis for each shot is exposure correction. That is why I always have a histogram turned on in the preview and I correct the light to it.
What a great effect with the backlighting and the figures in silhouette! I think you have created a bit of a mysterious atmosphere, or at least you have taken this above the mundane. Very nice! Big fav!
Whether you're making them, blowing them or watching them float through the air, bubbles are always fun! I like the rim lighting and silhouette effect here- it makes the "story" of the shot even more interesting.
