The intensity of light falls off in inverse proportion to the square of the distance, and I feel that lifting what you call the "blocked shadows" would make the pictures look like stills from a surveillance video. As for the ?losing the guy on the left hand side? of the first picture - - no way, he, together with the light coming through the umbrellas, in my view, makes the picture. Also, the tilt of the last picture (taken with a 21mm lens) is intentional). For me, leveling the picture would ruin the dynamics of the photo. - - Mitch Subject: [Leica] VSCO Film - and Replichrome as well From: philippe.amard at sfr.fr (Philippe) Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2014 11:27:19 +0200 References: <1CB1D1C1-FB07-4245-AF45-2D20FF63F48E at mac.com> Le 10 oct. 2014 ? 11:15, mitcha at mac.com a ?crit : > (http://bit.ly/1i93new), All of these are underexposed (blocked shadows) and call for further post processing work IMHO, including adjusting those tilts and lists (e.g. the last one). Add to this a need for reframing and punch in some - the first one would gain from losing the guy on the left hand side for instance, flush of the lady, a square might work for me. I like the people and the colours you got a lot though. Hope this helps. Amities Philippe In reply to: Message from mitcha at mac.com (mitcha at mac.com) ([Leica] VSCO Film - and Replichrome as well)
