Thank you, I was having this problem of the picture being dark on the display but not dard enough on the computer. I will underexpose even more next time. Thank you for sharing this information!
I have tried it a few times and it is great fun. I guess I should underexpose even more than I did. A white tailed eagle (Norway): photos.app.goo.gl/sg12M2ju7JkQiwJH8 and photos.app.goo.gl/nqhXus6z34USjP899 A bear (Romania): photos.app.goo.gl/meb9vftcmPM8FSjH7 (click twice for full resolution). Thanks for your tutorial.
@@bjarnehansen3812 Thank you for commenting i think you nailed it, very nice photos. The bear shot is amazing and same for the eagles. On the one eagle photo maybe a little bit under to have more detail in the feathers but this things happen so fast. i think thats really good photos and to be proud of as well. Well done
I tried few times the rim lighting photography, but I wasn't too successful. I don't think I underexposed that much , and maybe it was a main reason. But I do like the effect, love the Baboons shots in action. It looks spectacular !. Thank you for another great video. Very useful tips.
Thank you Margaret appreciate your comment that could be the reason, often it looks ok on the back screen of your camera but when you imported its not dark enough thats why i mention it on the video. you can go and try on post to go a bit darker maybe that help with that photos. With rim lighting the situation have to be quite good close to perfect. Need a hairy subject as they work the best for me in anyway and the sun need to be low with a dark back ground like a shadow for example
Hi Ajit thank you for commenting yes you can but not by 5 stops around 1 or 2 maybe. You can try your self the thing is if you under expose with 5 stops in post there will be no details left in the rim light. This mean that the rim of the animal were blown out, if you look at the baboons or the water buck if there is strong light coming from the back you will loos the detail there. that is your main focus in the photo, the rim of the subject. It depends on the subject off course how much hair or feathers it has. If you want still to see details in that aria then i would do as much as possible in camera. But im sure you can go as much as 1 or 2 stops under in post.
Wow cool and perfect art ! thanks

Your team’s videos are the best. I really love them.

Glad it helped
Thank you PWP. :)
Have you ever tried this technique before? Was it a success?
I have tried it a few times and it is great fun. I guess I should underexpose even more than I did.

Thank you Darrell for commenting hope the video will help on your next possibility
What about the white balance?what should it be?

Is it possible to decrease the exposure in Adobe Camera Raw instead?
