Very nicely portrayed, to my eyes maybe the shadows need lightening a tad.
Just out of interest, is it a HW of some description?
I'd say it's a HW 77, I have one tucked away somewhere.
Yes it is an HW77 and I agree about the lifting of the shadows. I am glad you lot know how to do it...that is what picture editors and designers are for. They can do it on their kit which is calibrated for the printer.....I don't have any fancy editing program whatsoever, so can't do it. I am not get one either, because if I did, it would only mean I would have to spend longer on the pictures and not get paid any extra for the additional time and effort.
I like it with the blue reduced, but no idea how you did it.
The Professional gets paid for the image that he/she produces. It should be the finished article.
This can either be achieved in the setting and lighting or with the help of correct post processing. Preferably both.
A chef does not pack up and go home when he has prepared the ingredients, the job is only finished when it is ready to be served.... and so with professional photography.
Art editors and designers might crop, resize, and match the colour balance to the rest of the page, and if given a RGB file will convert it to CMYK for printing. But they do not do the photographers job for them.
A job takes as long as it takes. If that means taking more time lighting or in PP. then so be it. Neither should take more than a few minutes anyway.These are the skills people pay for.
Rant over....
Honestly you don't need brighter and wider beam, more leds etc. Long exposure, narrow beam and have some control.
