Hello IFC, it’s been quite a while since my last S/V topic—so I just wanted to share a few photos I’ve taken in the past couple of weeks, I haven’t really been that active but I thought I’d just post these for y’all to see!
I know they weren’t much, but these were just some of the screenshots I’ve taken semi-recently as I haven’t had much time to play, hope you all liked them though!
Really good photos like these also have to do with the composition! So optimal subject placement and amount of foreground/background will make edits like the ones applied here really pop! I’m no expert but it looks like the color & saturation is toned down here, maybe a bit of sharpening, a little bit of additional contrast to make the blacks stand out, and a bit of blur effect to create more depth.
Even without the edits though, I bet the photo would still look really good just because of its composition!
Couldn’t have said it better myself—I do basically what you stated here, except aditionally, I increase the vibrance on the subject (aircraft) itself, while toning down the bg (-saturation, -brightness), this is what essentially makes the subject pop
Welcome to the community @Elijah.Kycz, and thank you
Thanks for sharing! That explains the pop for sure. When I first saw the photos I thought they were real planes! . Amazing job and great shots & editing!
