- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I've been doing digital photography for some time, and though I've done mostly portraiture and macro shots, I'm starting to get into landscape and nature photography.
My question is this: I've just run across a photographer I quite like whose images have a very unique feel to them. His web site is Light Travelling - Photography by Joel Koop . I copied a couple of his images into photoshop and was examining them and have discovered that, almost universally, his histograms have a particular shape--essentially a smooth convex slope starting high on the dark end and ending off on the high end. I am wondering how this might be accomplished? Is it a particular shooting technique, or some curves processing afterwards (or something between). I've never had curves look quite this way.
Anyhow, I'm looking for some explanation of his technique.
