Much of what I am photographing is meant to be low key or at any rate filled with deep shadows. I am finding that by underexposing I am coming up with all sorts of problems. The colours are tending towards a greenish tone and I am concerned this is because I am underexposing too much. Also, especially with a shot hat has red in it, by underexposing I give myself very little room for any movement in Lightroom because the red seems so unstable and if I lighten the highlights the red goes wonky. Having taken hundreds of shots I have two I think I will certainly use and another which I think I might need to reshoot. I have also rejected two that I thought I'd use but now think I won't after thinking about them. So it's very slow going now. And I still have a handful of exercises to complete - maybe I should have done those before embarking on the assignment and I might have learnt about the problems I am coming up against.
And...out of the three images I have one works best at 8x10, one at A4 and the other I can't work out. Am I going to have lots of different dimensions? Will this matter? Os should they all be the same - will it hang together?
