Foggy landscape by the river . How to fix a corrupted photo during postprocessing

in photography •  7 years ago 

Today I want to share a foggy landscape by the river and my experience of creating it from a spoiled frame with the help of post-processing.

This is what this landscape looks like.

When I was shooting this landscape, I checked whether it was possible to make a photo with a blurring of water due to long exposure. For long exposures, I used three ND filters (ND8, ND4, ND2). In this regard, the frame turned out with vignetting, overexposures, and also an extraneous color shade.

First I framed this photo. Then, using a clever fill, I drew clouds at the place of the overexposure. At the same time, I managed to leave a small area for the sun. Corrected the white balance. Increased the contrast with the help of curves. Selectively customized colors.

As a result, I got this photo.

Then I wanted to add something else to this photo. And I decided to paint a fog in the photo.

To do this, I used the Color Efex Pro plug-in where, using two gradients, I drew a fog so that the area closest to the camera was less covered by fog.

That's how using the processing tools and a little wit, I made an interesting in my opinion photo from a spoiled frame.

I will be glad to hear your opinion on the result.

Great post. I liked your photos.

Thank you! 8)

Liked how you recovered from the filter created artefacts. I was struggling though with the fog and bright sunlight behind the fog and reflected of the water, makes it hard to imagine those things together, although everything possible in nature :)

I agree that the high bright sun and fog are not very common in life. But I believe that photography does not have to be very close to reality. Sometimes it can be a little naughty 8))

True. That's when it becomes art. Well done, mate.

I like the 3rd version (the pre-fogged one), but that might just be my love of stark clear photos.

But it's amazing what you've done with the original. Very impressive, in fact. Kudos to you, and keep posting.

Thank you veru much for a kind words! I appreciate it! 8)

Thanks!
