Here is a picture taken at
I change the white balance to Shade. As you can see, the edited image now has a yellowish feel.
The next step is to increase the color saturation. This is the final image:

Sunset Photography
How to shoot a sunset photograph? The easiest way is to use Sunset mode, if your camera has one. My camera doesn’t have Sunset mode so I need to use some tricks.

I use a digital SLR, but even 'normal' digital cameras let you set white balance. Saturation is adjusted in software.

Gotta agree that sunset over the sea is a great view.
It can or cannot be a cheat depends on people's different definitions on ethic. Judge with you 4 approaches of ethical reasonings then. As long as you think it is not a cheat, why bother how others think of it?
ReplyDeletePut one lenglui in the pic will enhance it more! huhuhu
ReplyDeletei like the one in the middle
ReplyDeletethis is call beautifying ~ ^_^

ReplyDeleteA good point! Thanks...

I worry not, since her skin will become yellowish also. Well, unless I partially change the color, but that's a bit troublesome.

You like the one in the middle? (-_-")
Perhaps I have overdone the color saturation.
that's not cheating xD
ReplyDeletethink about it..
when you're snapping and when u view at it's lil screen, no way u can tell if that's the perfect picture except you bring along ur laptop and view there, right? :P
changing the colours are just the touch up part :P
don't everybody do that? xD
Personally, I'd prefer to show the actual colours because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteNice photos... especially the first photos..
ReplyDeleteadila
ReplyDeleteYou are right in the sense that every body does that. Even if we select 'Sunset' mode, the camera will the same thing also.

I'm not sure if the first picture has actual colors. Digital cameras don't always yield 'actual' colors.
keeyit
I thought the first one is bland!??
迷迭香 likes the second one. You like the first one. I am confused...

ReplyDeleteNice picture.
ReplyDeleteHaha...i agree that "Digital cameras don't always yield 'actual' colors." What is actual colors? Colors get into different eyes already different. Hahaha...Colors is so subjective.
Not cheating, definitely. It's making use of technology to do art. :)
