This for sure is a possible way to deal with the exposure and contrast – but not the best, because in fact it’s just a correction of the original file – it’s made in the digital darkroom, or better in the lightroom. All my corrections in this blog post are made in postprocessing – i.e. Sharpness: No corrections applied (really important!)ĭetails: No corrections applied (really important!) Two possible ways to the best exposureġ- During postprocessing. Of course the above steps in Adobe Lightroom are not mandatory, but in this image I preferred the monochromatic style.

The image was converted from RAW (ORF) to a 16bit TIFF file using OLYMPUS Viewer 3 Version 2.3, and finally processed in Adobe Lightroom 5.7.1 (.exe, Windows Version).Ĭorrections made in OLYMPUS Viewer 3 while converting the ORF file to the TIFF file:Ĭorrections made in Adobe Lightroom for the above original base image (i.e. In my opinion it’s worth it – and you probably won’t be able to spot the fine differences in the tones just on your phone.

But do me a favour, please have a look at the final image on your Mac, iPad Pro, on your Surface Pro, or on your high resolution monitor. Having said that – as a disclaimer – let’s continue.Īnd please. And furthermore … keep in mind that my monitor is not calibrated – it’s just a very good quality and high resolution screen – but not a calibrated one. Hmm – the image is a little bit too dark – at least in my opinion – I should better have corrected it by +2.5 stops (+2.5 EV) – the tones are too dark and it’s contrast is too low. The exposure was spot metered right on the brightest white part of the water, and then corrected by +2.0 EV.

Original image, it’s the base image for the final processing. The image was taken from the small pedestrian bridge over the white water a few hundred meters in front of the waterfall. © Copyright and Source Microsoft Corporation 2018. Let me give you a practical example of the richness of tones corresponding to the Ansel Adams Zone System – with an image of Goðafoss (see ) – my image shows the small front part of the famous waterfall in Northern Iceland. Now – as you clicked “continue reading” I am really glad to giving you an example of one of my beloved images, carefully postprocessed and tonality-adjusted according to Ansel Adams Zone System – at least in a “light version” ?Īs already written in one of my previous blog posts (see here: my personal 100 shades of grey) Ansel Adams’ Zone System assigns all possible tones between black and white to zones – from the purest blacks to the purest whites – whereby the purest black corresponds to zone 0 and the purest white to zone 10.įor better understandig of the Ansel Adams Zone System please see figure 1. For some people this post will be highly exciting and interesting, for some it will be as boring and dull as ever possible.
