More Photo Editing

[Luke.]

Hi all,

Ive recently come back from Dubai and its an amazing place to photograph due to buildings etc. The only problem is because of the heat (50degrees) and the humidity you tend to get a haze that tend to ruin some amazing photographic oppourtunitys but giving a misty effect to certain photos.

For example:

As you can see the haze has kinda ruined the photo and I was wondering is there anysort of editing you can do to make the photo look any better???

Thanks

Luke

You were shooting towards the sun which will reduce contrast so you can try boosting that.

Black and white is normally a good fall back if all else fails.

I tried the second one for you just playing with the curve.

How about black and white instead?

here are my 2 edit!

what do you think! think it was taking on the totally wrong day!

 

[Andy.]

Not wrong day, just wrong time of day.

Slight bit of contrast should do it mate, I found the same when I was out there!

Btw, snap

thats where I got the inspiration from yours seems to be shot at the same time of day but a little later then mine as the sun has settled slightly! I think im going to have to go out there again in the winter when its less humid and have a go then!

My effort.

The haze on the l/h side is just a bit strong to completely get rid of it.

Side effect has been to remove the nice amber glow of the sun. Could sort this in photoshop.

by the way if it makes it any easier I have a RAW file of this image!

I just used Lightroom, download the trial and give it a go.

The clarity slider, contrast and fill light were the 3 most effective changes i made.
