Hi All!
So firstly I'm new to the site , I'm an amateur hobbyist of DSLR film , I have a D5100 with unlocked firmware ( simply had to be able to correctly expose). With that said...
Often when I compare my own work to that of professionals I just can't seem to to get the same depth and dynamic range . I am fully aware of the skill and equipment difference between myself and a professional but is there anything I can do to improve myself?
Currently I shoot with lowered contrast and brightness so as to prevent crushed black's and whites but in post I don't know how to regain that rich dynamic range. What often happens is that I over compensate on the contrast and I get a grainy , highly contrasted picture with a disgusting tint that closely resembles a 14 year old girls Instagram feed!
Please help! Any advice , be it to do with capturing the image or editing it, would be greatly appreciated !
