Welcome to the fortified farm of M\u00e9r\u00e9 in the Vexin region, west of Paris, a series of pictures that needed a bit of touching up. “Vexin (French pronunciation: \u200b[v\u025bks\u025b\u0303]) is a historic county in northwestern France. It covers a verdant plateau on the right bank (north) of the Seine. […] The name Vexin is derived from a name for a Gaulish tribe now known as the Veliocasses. They had inhabited the area and made Rouen their most important city” – Source<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Touching Up The Photos of the Fortified Farm of M\u00e9r\u00e9<\/h2>\r\n

I took these pictures 10 years ago. Thank God! A sound archiving system makes it possible to revive old photos like these. Many of my old blog posts were pointing to Flickr for no reason, and I\u2019m working hard at the moment to revisit them and tart all my posts up a bit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"touching
Touching up photo number one, taken under the porch of the farm. This is a typically difficult shot if one wants exposure to be well balanced between the space below the porch and the background (with the dovecote)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While I was at it, I decided to revisit my postproduction of these old pics taken at the fortified farm of M\u00e9r\u00e9. In this case, I\u2019m not talking of picture transformation per se. I didn\u2019t touch up anything there, I merely corrected the balance of colours and I ensured that the lighting too was congruous.<\/p>\r\n

Light retouching did the job<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The picture is also much crispier but in hindsight, I didn’t have much to do to correct it. Now that I am a professional photographer and taking pictures in my studio<\/a>, I realise the gratification it is to have a good\u2009\u2013\u2009it can never be perfect\u2009\u2013\u2009picture coming straight from the lens and captured by the sensor as is*. Very seldom do I have to touch up things on my portraits, except maybe for blemishes (like the unwanted and unhappy zit, you know, these things happen)?<\/p>\r\n

*I need to point out that I shoot raw and in manual (M) mode exclusively. I don’t give my camera’s onboard computers any chance to do what it wants to do.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Keep Postprod to a Bare Minimum<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Similarly, I feel that landscape photography is best if one keeps postproduction to a bare minimum. It\u2019s taken me all those years of practice to realise this: it\u2019s not that I wasn\u2019t doing enough, but that I was doing too much. That said, postproduction is a must. One cannot always get the right balance of colours and light while one is travelling and getting the right angle for a shot doesn\u2019t always mean the lighting is good enough for it.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Touching Up Tip: Ban Horrible HDR Treatment\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I must admit that one of the things I did away with was the horrible HDR treatment I had applied to the above picture. I honestly fail to understand what I was finding so fascinating in HDR. Besides, with the new touch-up features in Adobe Lightroom, there is no more need for this. I used to take three snaps of each shot and superimpose them with a (dreadful) piece of software named Photomatix.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I haven\u2019t used this software for so long it\u2019s only tonight I realised I hadn\u2019t reinstalled it on my two new macs. Anyway, Lightroom now does a beautiful job of correcting photos like the one above where, originally, the sky was all wishy-washy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"fortified\"touching<\/div>\r\n
Before and after touching up the farm’s photos: As you can see in the above image comparison, I haven\u2019t changed much of it but the end result is a lot more striking. A) I applied a normal lens and chromatic aberration correction B) I didn\u2019t choose to straighten the picture here. If it had been taken with a wide-angle lens I would have done it C) I popped up the foreground a bit (but not too much) D) I then made the stonework a little crispier and lighter E) Last but not least, the sky is a lot less bland than it was originally. Merely selecting the sky and isolating it and lowering the exposure did the trick. I ddin’t need to do much else, really F) Ah, yes! a wee vignette (once again, not too strong) did the job.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Powerful and dangerous features<\/h3>\r\n

Above all, I\u2019m very careful not too to overdo the presence filters.<\/p>\r\n

\"touching
The Presence filter cursors in Lightroom. Don’t overuse them!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

These are very powerful but very dangerous tweaks, which could turn your pictures into horrible ghoulish things. When I looked at them in hindsight today, I rushed to Flickr and changed them on the spot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
