Lightroom Adjustment Experiment



For the photo above, I used the white balance dropper, clicking on a neutral tone to adjust the colors. I further corrected the color issues in this photo using the temp and tint gauges.


For the photo above, I used the radial filter to create a inverted mask that allowed me to darken the exposure only in the areas where the photo had been over exposed, while keeping the rest of the photo properly exposed.

Pet Photography Preview

1. What type of pet will you photography?

For this pet photography photo shoot, I will photograph a dog.

2. Where will you shoot?

For this shoot I will photograph at a park, where I can capture pictures of the dog in action, playing around like dogs do.

3. What type of lighting will you use?

For this shoot, I will use natural light as not to scare the dog away with the flash.

4. What equipment will you need?

For the pet photography shoot, I will need a camera, kit lens, extension tube, doggy treats and some toys that illustrate the personality of the dog.

5. What challenges will you encounter?

During this shoot, I will encounter challenges like keeping the dog still and/ or cooperative.

6. How will you overcome these challenges?

To overcome these challenges, I will bring treats as an incentive for the dog to obey, and or play with the dog and use a high shutter speed to capture action photos instead.

7. Post an example for inspiration for your shoot. Explain what you like about the photo and how you will attempt to emulate or use for inspiration.



I really like the blurred background and perspective of this photo, it draws the attention right to the dog and makes the dog the center of interest in this photo. I will attempt to emulate this photo, by using a wide aperture that allows me to create a blurred background but still capture the scenic view of the dogs' natural environment without distracting from the dog itself.
