I agree that this is a nice improvement. If the photo is old and you don’t have the original file anymore, you can’t improve it much more.

This looks really powerful and clean-cut in a great way! Speaking of sharpening, you can do selective sharpening in Lightroom by using the masking slider. In case you don’t know what I mean, check this article out, directly from Adobe -…[Read more]

Personally, I don’t follow any of these rules strictly. If you shoot in RAW using any modern full-frame DSLR or mirrorless you do whatever you want in Lightroom. Of course, you shouldn’t overexpose or underexpose like crazy, but anything reasonable is totally fine.

Welcome to Light Stalking, Jeff. We’re looking forward to seeing more of your photos 🙂

Welcome to Light Stalking, Nick! We’re looking forward to seeing your photos.

Beautiful framing but the light is a bit too dull. We need more whites and highlights here.

The chocolate looks perfect, I would maybe just make the teapot a bit lighter.

I love this one, such beautiful warm colors!

Beautiful color contrast! I also like the pose of the subject 🙂

Agreed, and it’s interesting to see live subjects in infrared!

Very cinematic haziness!

You’re welcome! I would send this image to a photo contest.

Beautiful color contrast!

Beautiful composition and colors!

That’s a perfectly caught moment! There are maybe a bit too many objects in the foreground (the black teapot has too much visual weight), I would shoot the same scene with less clutter but it’s still really effective this way.

I like this non-standard crop, it is pretty effective for this kind of composition. The exposure is also perfect here, really nothing to change. Personally, I prefer less saturated colors but I’m totally aware that’s just a matter of taste.

Very effective street shot! Except for the blown-out highlights, I wouldn’t change anything.
