Holy Grail - Exposure changes - grwiffen - 2013-05-16 Hi Gunter, In your Holy Grail tutorial you start by saying that you underexposed by a stop, to stop any blown highlights. I am having issues with exactly this. I usually am shooting sunsets, with possibly cloudy skies, so its challenging anyway. I am used to taking individual images, for photographs, and will use graduated filters to adjust for the contrast between sky & land, but in my test of time lapse sequences to date, I cannot stop the exposure adjustments being too harsh. A few questions: Do you recommend use of ND grad filters? and if so, when would you change them in relation to exposure/speed adjustments? Do you usually make adjustments equivalent to 1 stop? Again, Im finding the skies blow out when I do this, and while I might blend images in P'Shop to correct this, I can't do that in L'Room. What are your suggestions on these points please? or anyone else too for that matter. Thanks Graham RE: Holy Grail - Exposure changes - Gunther - 2013-05-20 Hi Graham, normally I use 1EV changes and I rather underexpose. Always shoot raw, then I can recover a lot in Lightroom with highlights/shadows sliders. I don't use grad-filters when shooting, and I never change/remove Filters during holy grail. Best Gunther |
