When you go out for a photoshoot, especially when you are an amateur like myself, it can be difficult to get your picture to look as you intended. This can be because of a number of factors such as aspect ratio, white balance, exposure, color, composition, etc. Luckily, for us in this modern age, where we have digital cameras with flash memory, these problems that make for a less than desirable photo can be fixed relatively easily and conveniently. This is because of a program called Adobe Lightroom Classic. Below I will compare the final edited images from the previous share two and critique compared to their original, completely unedited form.
As you can see in the second image, I was able to use the lightroom crop tool to remove distracting elements from the frame. I was also able to bring out more detail in the bridge and some of the background trees. Third, I made some adjustments to the basic settings to really bring out the red in the bridge as well as the warm evening colors/lighting.
In this photo, I used the crop tool a lot to get rid of much of the distracting background and foreground and really make the subject the obvious center of focus. I used the saturation and vibrancy tools to bring out the colors. Finally, I used the brush tool to help brighten up the duck and further display it's colors. The editing really improved the quality of this picture by bringing focus to the subject, and bring color to the originally bland picture.
If you end up with photos you don like after a shoot, hope of ending up with something good is not lost. If you know how to properly use it and have a bit of patience, you can use lightroom to make it into something you can be proud of. I believe the photos above prove that point.
