Re: Bewerking foto's Dave Hill, ...

Hier een tutorial:

http://www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157594577686705/

Hey! You found us! Welcome to the brightest group of photogs on Flickr. It was created to accompany Strobist, the off-camera lighting blog. To avoid having your photos deleted from the pool, please read the rules below - your pictures could be removed without warning during busy periods - so please read carefully BEFORE posting. Don't know how to use your flash(es) off-camera? That's okay. Just head on over to Strobist and start reading. You have nothing to lose but a good night's sleep. (It's free.) There is a full lighting course, hundreds of articles (uh, we're kinda into this stuff) and even a section of dozens of photos from real-world assignments with exact instructions on how they were lit with one or two small flashes. We are an organic, growing, learn-by-reading-then-by-doing community. The visual idea sharing that is going on here is phenomenal. Wanna share your photos with us? We'd love to see them. But please, limit yourself to one photo per day to give us time to enjoy each of your photos. And just as important, please take a moment to comment on a photo in the pool. This thing is about feedback and discussion more than it is about "Hey, look what I did." Also, please do not pull and resubmit your photos to the pool just to bump their position. We saw it the first time. Go out and shoot something different for us. :) You get what you give - and this group has a lot to offer. Please read carefully. If your photos do not meet the first four of the following rules they are subject to removal. Please... 1. We are specifically about off-camera flash, so photos posted to the group pool should reflect that. Sadly, people miss this rule all of the time, opening the door for these kinds of threads. Don't be that guy. ... (FWIW, on-camera flash is fine if it is used to trigger other off-camera flashes.) 2. Images posted to the pool must include the following lighting details, in the caption of the photo (or in the first comment): the number of flashes used, where the flashes are placed in relation to the subject or camera, how the flashes were modified (umbrella, soft box, beauty dish, snoot, etc.) and how they were triggered. If you do not want to have the lighting info in your caption, please place it in the first comment. We want to make it easy for people to find. Pictures using on-camera flash is not allowed unless it is being used in conjunction with off-camera flashes. Images using only continuous light sources are not allowed with the exception of images using the "light-painting" technique. The idea of this Pool is to share pictures taken with off-camera flash, and the details of how (the more detail the better.) Hey, we wanna learn from you... 3. Ensure your photos are work safe as many of our members browse from work. If you have something you'd like to share that would not be appropriate for work viewing, just post the (word) link in a discussion thread with a little warning. This is not your private art house. People read this site at work. A lot. If you would not leave the photo up on your monitor in an office environment while you head off to lunch, it is probably not appropriate for here. And if your photo is deleted, do not re-insert it. Specifically: Topless women - even with their hands over their boobies - are better posted in the groups that cater to that stuff. Ditto full nudes, butt-floss bikinis and very suggestive poses. Be aware that people from many cultures view this group, and what may be art in your country might very well be illegal in someone elses. Be respectful of that. It is common sense. Please do not push it. Thanks. 4. Did we mention the 1-a-day limit? Oh, yeah. We did. 5. This should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: Please do not use the threads as a classifieds section. Selling your stuff on Flickr is against the site's TOS, and it endangers the status of our group. Thanks. Also, I would have thought this one would have been obvious, but it is not. So here goes. The Strobist group is associated with Strobist.com. That is the name of my site, which is my family's livelihood. I coined it in 2006. I very much support the idea of your educating people about lighting. But please, respect my site's name enough to refrain from creating other "Strobist" sites, or designing and selling "Strobist" gear, or creating "Strobist" contests. This confuses people into thinking that we are associated when, in fact, we are not. You are a photographer. Be creative. If you are going to trade on a name, think of your own name. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Optional, but highly encouraged (and great karma:) 6. Post a picture? Leave a comment. Just doing this one, simple, quick thing will improve the quality of cross education immensely. Note a technique, offer an idea - anything, really. Just be nice. We're all about civility here. Exceptions? Heck, there's always an exception: Photos of your lighting gear (and mods) that you may wish to share are always welcome, lit or not. One more heads-up: You may note that Flickr does make the meta data viewable for many caption plug-ins. So if you are trying to protect the innocent with respect to names, etc., you may want to kill your captions before uploading. Please note: Any photo in the Flickr pool may be pulled up to the Strobist blog, where it would be seen by a large group of the coolest photographers in the world. If that would irk you, say so clearly in your caption, so we'll know to steer clear. And one final, non-photo thing. Above all, this group seeks to be an inclusive, mutually supportive place for people to learn about off-camera flash. You are encouraged to ask questions as well as answer them. (You are encouraged to search the archive - and especially to read LIghting 101 on the Strobist.com main site before firing off a bunch of newbie questions.) That said, no one here knows everything. I learn stuff here every single day. Read, and ask. Also, members of the Flickr Strobist group have created a FAQ, for the benefit of new members. More important than the subject matter is the approach to helping (or being helped by) others. It only takes a few chronic antagonists to ruin a community. Nastiness, name-calling, elitism, trying to bully others into a particular way of thinking, (and other similar activities) degrades the experience and the learning environment for all. Serial antagonists will be warned, and thereafter would be subject to being banned from the group. Read-only status would be retained, but the ability to post to threads or on the photo pool would be lost. We suspect this will not be a very bad problem. But with thousands of people involved, you have to set boundaries. Thanks much.

Bij mij geeft het wisselende resultaten...

Ik ben ook nog niet verdergeraakt dan de tutorial op flickr. Als je achter de schermen kijkt bij dave hill denk ik dat er v��l meer aan de hand is.

Het is niet alleen de bewerking bij zijn foto's h�, ook concept, modellen, setting....

Re: Bewerking foto's Dave Hill, ...

heb het nog niet geprobeerd maar het zou er op moeten trekken
First things first. Get the lighting correct on the shot. This is most important. However, we are in the retouching forum so I'll move on to that.

Step 1 - Increase the highlights

Go to your channels and select the blue channel. Copy this channel by dragging it to the 'New Channel' icon. You should have something called 'Blue copy'.
Do a curve adjustment so that the white highlights are more pronounced and the mid tones and shadows drop to black.
Make white your foreground colour and then click Select>Colour Range. Slide the fuzziness slider till it looks like you have picked a good range of highlights.
Go back to RGB mode by clicking RGB channels
Go back to your layers now and add a new layer over the top of your photo.
Press ALT-backspace. This should fill your selection with white.
change the layer mode to overlay, soft-light or hard-light depending on the amount of shininess.
It is sometimes a good idea to slightly blur this layer.
Add a mask and paint away the areas of highlights which look unappealing.

Increase Sharpness

I find it's best to make a copy of the original photo and do a heavy high pass filter on it. The radius should be set so that not too much colour is showing in the high pass result, but you have good definition in the skin pores and eye details, etc.
Change this to Overlay mode, and adjust the opacity so that you have a general good feel to the sharpening.
Use a mask and a soft, low flowing brush to slowly paint back any areas that are over sharpened.

Shadows

I don't like the burn tool as it can cause some bad colouration to the skin. A better method is create a new layer and fill it with 50% grey (press Alt-F5 and select 50% gray). Change the mode to overlay

Use a soft black slow flowing brush to paint in some of the shadows. You can also use white to bring out some highlights but not too much on a male as it will start to look too soft.

Optional - on the flattened image

If you have the luxury of the Lucis Arts plugin, run 'whyeth' a little too. This will really add to the highlights and exaggerate the ruggedness.

If you have the luxury of Photomatix, then run a tone mapping adjustment which will also add a sort of HDR look to it (without of course being true HDR)

All that is left to do now is curve adjustments to get a good contrast and you should be pretty close.

Both of these look a lot like the stuff by Dave Hill (www.davehillphoto.com).

Re: Bewerking foto's Dave Hill, ...

Bedankt allemaal!
Ik ben er zeker van dat er dingen tussenzitten die in de buurt komen, ik ga me er eens mee bezig houden!

Re: Bewerking foto's Dave Hill, ...

Het eerste wat leidt tot een Dave Hill look is de manier van belichten. Als dit niet goed zit dan kan zelfs de postprocessing daar weinig aan verhelpen. Het licht komt uit alle richtingen in zijn foto's. Wraparound lighting als het ware. Meestal gebruikt hij grids links rechts en boven en nog een beauty dish of ringflash. Deze manier van belichten wordt versterkt door zijn postprocessing.

Groeten Kristof

Re: Bewerking foto's Dave Hill, ...

Dave Hill giet een sausje over zijn beelden dat voor de moment erg 'in' is, de high pass filter.
de belichting die hij gebruikt en het photoshop werk achteraf maken de highlights keihard en het detail in de donkere partijen trekt hij met curves of levels achteraf weg door deze donkerder te zetten.
veel van z'n beelden lijken mij ook composities waar meerdere elementen en een andere achtergrond zijn aan toegevoegd, volgens mij ook een deel CGI

wel zeer knap werk maar ik zou graag ook wat beelden zien waar hij dat sausje achterwege laat en de beelden natuurlijk laat ogen, de foto zijn mooi en hebben dat truukje echt niet altijd nodig.
binnen een paar jaar is dat toch achterhaald en uit de mode

Re: Bewerking foto's Dave Hill, ...

Laat Dave Hill, Dave Hill zijn zonder dat er weer 100den copy-cats zijn stijl willen benaderen.

Vind het allemaal een beetje raar ... sommigen op Flickr zitten al uren, maanden en bijna jaren zijn methode te doorgronden en opeens zijn ze er erg verrassend dicht bij ... maar wat hebben ze dan bereikt? Een exacte kopie van een stijl die net Dave Hill zo uniek maakt

Een eigen stijl ontwikkelen is volgens mij stukken interessanter want wie weet wil iemand, ooit, jouw stijl kopi�ren

**paly** · 19 december 2007, 10:37

Re: Bewerking foto's Dave Hill, ...

't Is toch gewoon leerrijk om te zien en te weten hoe, om zo elementen te kunnen gebruiken in je 'eigen' stijl.

tuurlijk ontwikkkeld ieder zijn eigen stijl maar dit gebeurd volgens mij alleen maar door eerst meerdere stijlen na proberen te doen ,en zo kennis krijgt om van alle elementen uit meerdere stijlen je eigen stijl voorkomt.

In dat geval krijg je meestal een kakafonie van stijlen waaruit zelden een sterke stijl vloeit.

Wel, persoonlijk vind ik Fotofolio's stijl heel wat interessanter en subtieler dan Hill. Hill vind ik maar een gimmick. ; )
