Raw Edit 016: Long exposure photography editing tricks
In today’s episode / free Affinity Photo Tutorial I will show you from start to finish how I edited a long exposure of an iconic place from my hometown and how I managed to further transform it into an amazing epic photo!
Hello everyone!
We all have interesting places at our hometowns that we probably have shot a million times to death. I know because I have done so myself.
To the point that I truly believed that there is no way I can shoot one of the most iconic castles of my hometown in an interesting way.
Until one day I went down for a photo walk, during one of those rare occasions that I had a free hour ( Yes miracles do happen ). During that hour the clouds gave an amazing show and I managed to take a few interesting shots.
OF course shooting is only half of the story. Editing is the other half. So in this free Affinity Photo Tutorial I am going to show you not only how I took this photo ( settings, gear etc ) but also how I edited the RAW file in order to get some amazing results.
As always, I will start in the Develop persona to make some adjustments and after that I will dive into Affinity photo where I will complete the edit using adjustment layers and a few practical tricks that will take the photo to the next level.
This workflow is 100% nondestructive and you will be able to customize it to fit your very own style of shooting and editing.
Skills you will learn:
- How to prepare a photo in the Develop persona
- How to bring more details to the surface from the highlights of your photo
- How to color grade your photos in order to give them a cinematic vibe and mood
- How to use various adjustment layers and make them work together in harmony
- How to relight your photo for more impact
- How to take long exposure photos
- And many more
Enjoy!
