Strong preference for the left one - the blacks on the bike are way too crushed on the right one, and the blue complements the background more than it does the bike.
The darktable one is definitely more dramatic but I might like the straight shot better. It's easier to see the details and the landscape. Both are good though. In the end it mostly depends on what your intention is.
Thanks. I feel like the details in the landscape are easier to see in the lighter one. Would it be better to lower the exposure a bit before applying the white balance, etc.?
Is this better? I used less exposure but tweaked the base curve. More contrast and the sky isn't blown out. #photography #photog #photos #photo #motorcycle
@dieter_wilhelm I do have one last question. While working on doing what you recommended and masking the sky so it can have different operations applied, I found that I really need to adjust the feathering radius from the default. Unfortunately, I don't have a scroll wheel on my trackball. Do you know of another way to do it?
That's an artifact of brightening an image without making other adjustments. Increasing the saturation helps with that quite a bit, which I've been playing around with locally.
The place where a scroll wheel would be on my trackball is where the trackball itself is. The only trackballs I've seen on the market with scrollwheels are the kind where you use your thumb to actuate the ball, and I don't like those.
Here's what I ended up with. I'm sure there's more adjustment I could find, but I definitely need a break for a while. #photography #photog #photo #photos #motorcycle
Better? I fixed the weird blues in the distance and browns in the foreground by using a color lookup table. #photography #photog #photo #photos #motorcycle
