The fire is depicted wonderfully, while the action of the firefighter helps us to understand the story. There\u2019s a lack of black and white in the picture which, usefully, lets us know there is smoke in the air, but a little more midtone contrast would help to lift the elements of the scene and make the detail a little clearer. I want a bit more definition in the subject, so I\u2019ve added a midtone curve to separate the middle tones but preserve the absence of extreme tones. This has added some depth and shape to the smoke, and makes the firefighter stand out a little more.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_75160&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 576px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75160\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Craig-Goldie-copy.jpg\" alt=\"After: The picture just needs some definition, which has been applied by adding a midtone curve\" width=\"556\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/05\/Craig-Goldie-copy.jpg 556w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/05\/Craig-Goldie-copy.jpg?resize=300,378 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/05\/Craig-Goldie-copy.jpg?resize=318,400 318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">After: The picture just needs some definition, which has been applied by adding a midtone curve<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expert advice and tips on improving your photography from Damien Demolder.
