Fell sick last week. I usually don’t but when I do it hits me bad. I couldn’t keep my promise to myself on at least taking one set of pictures a week, so I fished this practice shot out. I took this as a practice shot. Trying to use something simple with no props and a plain background, to achieve the effect I saw on plate to pixel. I was also trying to test out the different use of lighting, reflectors and white balance + exposure settings.
Question. Is taking in RAW and post processing the same as photoshopping an image, adjusting for brightness and contrast+hue+exposure? The quality is much better of course, because RAW images retain alot more information. But isn’t it effectively photoshopping?
