Nice one!
IMHO you might have gone a bit too far with the post-processing (or camera settings, if it's a jpeg): to me there's too high contrast, too much red, and the exposure doesn't agree with the apparent lighting conditions (it seems like it's been shot in broad daylight but it also seems underxposed).
Do borrow your dad's camera more often! :)
Thank you! I mean I probably went haywire with the processing and messed up the colours in the process 😅 I am slightly colour blind so to me that looked pretty realistic in the end 😅😂
You’re right about the lighting. I thought making it less exposed would increase contrast better than broad daylight…
I guess I’ll try and borrow it again 😌 And maybe I’ll try to review some of my other photos’ processing and post another one ☺️
messed up the colours in the process
To me it looks like you may have applied some "vintage film" style, and that it doesn't go too well with a photo that is mostly shades of brown.
Brown is really dark, unsaturated orange and we perceive it as a separate color mostly based on what other colors are near it, so it's not easy to work with in a photo where there aren't many non-brown elements.
Also, I am personally quite fed up with the (excessive and ubiquitous) "vintage film" photos.. I think that's not the issue with this photo, but, still, it's a bias of mine so that might be part of it.
I am slightly colour blind
Even mild color blindness must be a real hassle for photography (well.. for post-processing, mostly). I wish I had some suggestion to work around that, but I really can't imagine how it must be.
Anyway, don't let that slow you down! Color shenanigans are really only a tiny part of photography, and (I must say!) they are often the most tacky part. There are lots of greatly influential photographers that even chose to ditch colors altogether and shoot in black&white.
looks good! i feel like i could reach out and touch :D
