Hello Tony,

I am happy to see you trying things out.
Obviously, it is purely personal taste but did you try to reduce the saturation? It might end up giving you a less "strong" overall appearance.

I still like the composition and framing of this shot.


Hi Fabrizio,

I have tried to follow ...

Great job. The edited image is warmer and more centered-focused. You could try to increase the vibrance a bit more to pop some warm colors out.
Well done!

@Fabrizio:

I tried to use your instructions as you posted for Tony, this is my result (from Lightroom)

Thank you for joining and I hope to meet you soon again.
I much appreciate you sharing some of your images. I like the three shots but nr.2 and nr 3 got my attention because of its composed light. At first, my attention went to the opening between the tree above the subject but when looking more ...

Hello Maurice,

I love your shots. As discussed in the cafe, you have a great eye for details.
Although I like all your shots, again the small details you capture are wonderful. There you see the power of your 50 mm.

Keep up the good work and I will look forward to seeing more photos from you ...

wonderful shots. Congrats!

Is de achtertuin van Dronten ook goed? :wink:

No matter how many of my tips you followed. As long as you learn something, I am happy :).
Let's hope for that magic light we all were after next time.


Hello Frabizio, (I shall write your name correctly after now :wink: )

Thank you for your commends on my pictures. As I like being in the ...

Hello Ton,
Yes, I added the "softness" in postprocessing.
Depending on what I want to achieve, I typically use both Photoshop and Lightroom.

In this case, you can achieve what you asked for in Lightroom as follows:
1. Create a radial gradient and draw a circle in the middle of the image (you can ...

Here are a couple of shots from our workshop

Hello Hans,
First of all, thank you again for organizing the workshop. I really enjoyed it and I will look forward to any future occasions to share my passion for photography with you and the NCN community.
I looked at your shots and what to say: great job! There are a couple of them that I ...

Hello Jolanda,

Thank you for joining the workshop and sharing some of your images.
What a great framing of nr. 2 and nr.3!!! I really like the blurry elements standing in front. I also like the zooming you gave to these two shots: it takes me into the scene and I almost feel like I can touch ...

Hey gvdnberg,

Thanks for joining us and sharing some of your shots.
I am grateful you took photo nr 2: Actually, we missed a nice group photo. It will be for next time.
Within your shots, I particularly liked nr.5 not only for the leading line created by the path, the person at the end but also ...

Hello Ludo,

I am truly in love with your first image.
The lighter path creates a smooth leading line that takes my eyes inside the image to the end of the path. Then the person at its end is truly icing on the cake.
If the image was mine, I would have created more depth by bringing the highlight ...

Hello Tony,
Thanks for joining the workshop last Saturday. Despite the unfavorable light, I see some excellent shots being posted.
I really like the perspective of your first image. Your shot at ground level makes me feel inside that image. Then having two people at different distances from each ...
