In Part 1 I rescued a set of badly backlit ZV-1 photos using RAW files, subject masking, and a handful of light adjustments. If you haven't read it, start there: this post picks up where that one ends. Because correcting the light is only half the job. A technically correct photo can still feel like nothing. This is the part where it gets a mood. Correction versus colour These are two separate jobs and treating them as one is why a lot of edits go sideways. Correction is fixi

A happy coincidence where two separate projects lined up for this unintentional head-to-head. I had two different projects in mind this morning when I set out to shoot: one on my Sony ZV-1 and the other on my Fujifilm X-E5. I have a limited window when my favourite hydrangeas are in peak condition, so I took advantage of the morning to get both of these ideas executed. The morning part is not optional, by the way. This location only works early. Later in the day, the light co

Set three of fifteen. Back to the wall where this series started, in completely different light, running the Godox iT32 from low fill to full to see exactly what each step does.

The light is crisp, the subject is lifted off the background, the colours are saturated in a way daylight alone does not do, and the photo was clearly not taken by a friend. It looks hired. It looks lit. And increasingly, the comment is some version of: " How is this you, al

An archive of some of my most frequently asked questions on Tiktok and Instagram about my Fujifilm x100vi! How did I get my hands on one? I preordered mine through a local camera store called Vistek.
