As a successful photographer, Martin is well known in London for his fashion and beauty work, for which he has won several awards. In 2008, he was inducted into the NAPP Photoshop Hall of Fame.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p>With landscape photography, it can often be tricky to capture a scene where you need to balance the exposure required for the ground with that for the sky. When our eyes see a scene like the one shown here, they naturally adjust as we look from the ground up to the clouds in the sky and we don&#8217;t really perceive the difference in relative luminance that actually exists.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><em>&#8216;Before Photo&#8217; by Martin Evening<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One way to photograph a scene like this is to place a graduated filter over the lens to darken the sky at the time of capture. In this example, I used a neutral grad filter, but it wasn&#8217;t strong enough to balance the sky exposure with the ground. However, there was still enough information captured in the raw image so I could refine the exposure balance using Camera Raw.<\/p>\n<p>The following steps show a number of tricks that can be used to do this. The Highlights slider can be fairly effective at revealing highlight detail. The HSL sliders can be adjusted to selectively darken specific colours, such as the blues in the sky. You can use the graduated filter to apply a post-processing grad effect. Finally, there is the Tone Curve, which can be used to selectively darken and apply a targeted contrast adjustment. The steps on the opposite page show how I balanced all these.<\/p>\n<p>How to Balance Exposure in Camera Raw \u2013 Step by Step<\/p>\n<h3>1. The original raw image<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/>Here you can see the raw image as it looked with zeroed<br \/>\nsettings. This photograph was shot using a Hasselblad H4D. When<br \/>\nphotographing with a medium-format camera such as this, I find getting<br \/>\nthe exposure correct is critical so I don&#8217;t blow out the highlights.<br \/>\nThis image required no further exposure compensation, but I did need to<br \/>\nuse the Camera Raw controls to recover the highlight detail.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>2. Use the Shadows Slider<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"500\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_02a.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" \/>In this step, I adjusted the Shadows slider to lighten the dark to midtone areas. I applied a +68 setting to lift the shadow regions, especially in areas like the lower left corner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>3. Use the Highlights Slider<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"500\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_03a.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" \/>With the latest Process 2012, the Highlights slider can be used to recover highlight detail and darken the midtone to highlight areas. In this step, I set the Highlights slider to -100, which produced a pronounced darkening in the sky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>4. Negative Highlights Adjustment<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"500\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_04a.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" \/>Although a strong negative Highlights adjustment can be quite effective on a photograph like this, I decided to ease off on this setting and, instead, applied a more moderate -50 Highlights adjustment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>5. Targeted Adjustment<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"500\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_05a.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" \/>Over in the HSL panel, I selected the Luminance tab and clicked to select the Targeted Adjustment tool. I then clicked on the preview in the sky area and dragged downwards to darken the targeted blue colours. I applied a -100 Blues adjustment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>6. More Targeted Adjustment<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"500\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_06a.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" \/>The -100 Blues setting was too extreme and made the blue sky look unnaturally dark, so I clicked again (with the Targeted Adjustment<br \/>\ntool active) and this time dragged upwards to set this to -50.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>7. Gradient Filter Tool<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_07.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"500\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_07a.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" \/>I then selected the Gradient Filter tool and, using the settings shown here, selected a darkening Exposure combined with a<br \/>\nnegative Saturation setting and applied this to darken the top third of the image, but without increasing the saturation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>8. Apply Highlights Adjustments<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"500\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_08a.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" \/> I then went to the Tone Curve panel and applied a positive Highlights adjustment. I also edited the Highlights zone slider, dragging this all the way over to the right. This had the effect of concentrating the Highlights adjustment to the brightest regions only.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>9. Final Adjustments and the End Result<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_09.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"500\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_09a.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" \/>Here is the final version, in which I carried out further refinements. I selected the Adjustment brush and selectively applied a positive Shadows setting to the distant hills and fields. I also added a darkening post-crop vignette, while in the Basic panel I applied a positive Clarity adjustment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p><em>Visit Martin&#8217;s website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.martinevening.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.martinevening.com\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martin explains how to balance exposure in Camera Raw to improve your landscape images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":323,"featured_media":7949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[210],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-7948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo_editing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2013\/11\/Darkensky_Final.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-22 19:45:39","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7948"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39001,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7948\/revisions\/39001"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7948"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=7948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
