Staff DWright Posted July 20, 2023 Author Staff Share Posted July 20, 2023 For those who would like to know how I took and processed these shots in Affinity Photo My camera is a Nikon D7500 with a Tamron 100-400mm lens and for the jets I used a shutter speed of 1/2000s and the helicopter was at 1/250s to get motion blur on the rotors. As the day was overcast and shoot at such high shutter speeds the RAW files and very dark so to process them in Affinity Photo the first step I do is to use the Auto Contrast as I find this to give me a good baseline to make more refine contrast an brightness adjustments. The next step I make is with a Level adjustment manly with the Master and blue channel due to the different dark clouds The final step that I took on some of the photos is a colour balance adjustment in the midtones range markw, GarryP, stokerg and 5 others 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I think the overcast day actually made for great images. The coloured smoke against the dark stormy sky is particularly effective.
