Last Night

I had a senior guy who wanted to do shots with his mountain bike!  So we went out into the field and the clouds were crazy cool out last night.  It was so windy yesterday I was thinking of rescheduling the session.  The wind finally died down quite a bit so I just had his mom hold on to my light just in case.  I’ve had my light blow over on me twice.  The first time I caught it the second time, I was rushing to get into a vehicle before this storm hit.  I had my camera and by the time I remembered my light I went running back for my light and I watched it crash.

Anyway, I thought this photo was pretty cool with the clouds!

My AB 1600 was at Full Power f/14 and 1/125

The light was a little further back that normal because of the bike.

The clouds were very dramatic in it themselves but I did do a little dodging and burning and when I do these kinds of photos I love using high pass filter to bring out more detail in the clouds too.

Here’s the SOOC photo

My processing since tons of people ask me.

portraiture first.

Then I just did Pioneer Woman’s Free action Fresh and Colorful.  I tone it down per taste.

High pass filter.  I do a dup layer and then high pass then put it on soft light.  Then I do a layer mask and erase it off my subject and the weeds just leaving it on the clouds.

Some dodging and burning and that was it.
