Say Harmon would you mind posting a couple of small photos of the two that you blended? I think I can see what you meant but a visual would help me see it better! Pat, There's actually only one shot that was pre-exposed on the sky and then reframed for the final composition. The second shot with level adjustment was prepared in Photoshop. At any rate I'll post the two images I actually used for the channel-blend operation. The point is that when confronted with bright backgrounds such as the sky in this shot it's best but counter-intuitive to expose for the sky rather than for the darker foreground if one knows how to use Photoshop to accomplish a channel-blend to achieve foreground/background exposure agreement. Edited April 20, 2006 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment
+SD Rowdies Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) This is the original shot that was pre-exposed for the sky. Note that the foreground is too dark but the sky is decently exposed on purpose. That's the counter-intuitive part. Compare this original shot to the channel-blended shot in the previous post. The good news is that consumer digital cameras will tend to shoot this sort of shot if the exposure option is by default zone rather than spot. This is a copy of the original shot that was altered by dragging the center levels-slider left until the foreground was lightened. In this copy the sky is burned in but the foreground is pretty good even though I went a bit to far with the Levels adjustment just to make my point. Channel-blend them as I described in a recent email. This technique works if and only if the two images have the exact bit-for-bit image data. Trying to shoot both shots in the field won't work because the two images will differ no matter how hard you try to frame them the same. Also the human subjects and vegetation will move some or a lot between shots. Also note that this method won't work if the original shot is pre-exposed on the foreground rather than the background. Counter-intuitive once again. How's that for some insider advise on shooting such shots in the field. Even though it is counter-intuitive it produces a great result with Photoshop. No more blown-out skies and underexposed subjects is a good thing. By the way, ain't them two boys handsome? Edited April 20, 2006 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment

Welcome to Colorado -- where if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes. Back in January 1989, when we was living in Boulder, we underwent a 90 degree temperature swing in under twelve hours. It was 70 degrees and all the plants were thinkin' it was an early spring and then, little past midnight a cold front came through and we were at 20 below. There is one Colorado weather bet, though, that's been pretty solid: It won't snow in July. Quote Link to comment
