Hey,
I'm quite newbie on all this, I feel like I'm pleasantly exploring photography but I don't know much [emoji16] but something I know nothing about: post production. Now, I want to take this opportunity to try it out.
So, I have a beautiful thing that I found somewhere far from home, I can't just go there to try again, still I'd love to "save" this pic which seems all wrong to me.
This is a plastic bottle of Coca-Cola filled with water and put into a whole on a roof. The light goes thru the bottle and you can have a good lighting inside, without any electricity. Cool, ya?
But I just couldn't get it right [emoji24]
Either the roof was too dark or the bottle too bright.
Now, I ask you two things:
1. Let's say I won't have the opportunity to shot it again. I loved the "lamp" and I'd like to keep the image anyway, how could I fix it, making the best out of this sample?
2. What did I do wrong? What should I change to get a better result?
What I want is a "soft" light from the bottle and still capture the inside of the roof clearly.
Thank you
