It
is not easy sometimes as a Pro to make things go
wrong on purpose especially when using the new
Nikon D700.
A
few weeks ago I ask my son Brandon to sit on the
Stairs outside our apartment with this beautiful
light streaming through the window.
I thought, hey this is a good exercise for bringing
back the highlights in Aperture
2, so I
shot some correct exposed images but also on purpose
overexposed some for today’s session on how to bring
back the highlights using Aperture
2.
Highlight
Hot & Cold Areas came in very handy in this
exercise, (you find this in theView panel ) for the
applied adjustment details go to the
GD
Photo Tutorial Panel
upper left
hand side or click this
LINK.
There you
can compare the images in large side by side.
After all my corrections I
converted the image also into a nice Black and White
using the Green Filter this time.
Please
remember the images can look different on other
screens this is only a guide for the
exercise.
Before
we go into all the details I like to give some praise
to the Nikon
D700,
excellent performance in any light condition, yes I
have done some test shots already at 6400 ISO and
that just blew me away, but more on that later.
Original image shot

Aperture

Travel Photography: South East Asia Exposed, images from the “The Underexposed” featuring our first selection from Vietnam…
But not this time…”Underexposed” is a term I like to use for some very talented but not so exposed Photographers who’s work is very nice.
Introducing
Massimo Casal: Born in Udine,
Italy in 1971, Massimo studied as an engineer. The
job opportunities gave him the possibilities to
travel around the world and in particular in South
East Asia...read

I
met most of them
during my travel and workshops through out South East
Asia and from my Blogs and email exchanges.
Some of them I know personally, others only from
emails, this is the first Blog in a
NEW series
called “The Underexposed” bringing together talented
and passionate semi pro and amateur Photographer from
all over South East Asia, I might add, we might
venture also more East later, but for now it is S.E.A
Every month we show you in a NEW
GALLERY 12 selected images from
these S.E.A Countries sharing with you the magic of
this part of the world, which I call home. The Images
taken and selected by “The Underexposed” have been
submitted to me, but not enhanced or edited in any
way. No specific instructions, no favoritism on
Cameras, Computers or Software, the only rules; the
images had to be from their Country and
no Photoshop manipulation was allowed, except
converting color to B&W.
You
might ask why are we doing this?
The answer is
quiet simple…sharing images from this region and
given these Photographers some “Exposure” they
deserve, besides they are a real nice bunch plus
given you the “right exposure” before venturing into
S.E. Asia.
Today we start with Massimo Casal from Hanoi in
Vietnam, I have known Massimo only from emails and my
Blogs on Aperture 2
Tutorials & you might remember
some images from him in my previous Blogs.
To check the 12 images in the Gallery please click
this LINK or go to “The
Underexposed” lower left hand side bar on this
Blog page, but now enjoy the first images “The
Underexposed” by Massimo.

PS.
The
images in the Gallery will be available for about two
weeks before we change them to the next guy or girl.
After 12 month we choose the top shots from all
participants and make some real
noise.
