Beneath the Blue

09 Jan

In the deep blue waters of the Bahamas, a handsome tourist (The Vampire Diaries’ Paul Wesley) becomes involved with a research institute capable of communicating with dolphins. A battle with the US Navy erupts when sonar experiments begin killing the local dolphin population, and with time running out, a close-knit group of friends and family has only one chance to save these intelligent, beautiful creatures from destruction. Featuring remarkable photography and an ecologically urgent message, this compelling oceanic thriller takes you beneath the waves to a world you never imagined possible.

blue surf

04 Jan

A video taken with my d3s! The blue phosphorescent glow that comes into sight when the waves crash, agitating the algae in the water responsible for red tide. Awesome stuff – it gets into the sand too so if you step on the sand or kick it around or even draw in it you get awesome blue flashes and trails.

 
 

Enhancing Blue Skies in Lightroom

24 Dec

The Color control in Lightroom is a powerful tool for selective color adjustments. This tool allows photographers to adjust the hue, saturation, and luminance of individual color tones. One application of this functionality is enhancing blue skies:

How to Enhance a Blue Sky

In Lightroom 4, the Color control allows separate control of red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, purple, and magenta:

A quick way to emphasize a blue sky is to lower the luminosity and increase the saturation of the blues and aquas in the image:

With and without color adjustments

For this image, here are the settings I used:

Aqua

  • Hue: -18
  • Saturation: +20
  • Luminance: -43

Blue

  • Hue: 0
  • Saturation: +21
  • Luminance: -22

Make a Develop Preset

For extra credit, save these settings as a develop preset so that you can quickly apply them later. Note that settings that work to bring out the sky in one photo won’t be perfect for all photos, but this should give you a good starting point.

Here are the settings you need to capture for a sky enhancing preset:

I hope this technique proves useful next time you have a sky that needs just a little more oomph. I’d like you hear your thoughts on this article, please comment below or feel free to connect with me through Facebook or Google+. I’ll do my best to answer questions and reply to comments.
