Would be interested to know how you lit this daylight scene with Cameron — all natural or a combination of natural and studio?

Comment on DIY Collapsible Scrim and Sun swatter to be by Bo

The one I have on it now is just very shear nylon from a fabric shop…it doesn’t do very much in my opinion. Rip-stop nylon is what I would recommend.

Can you tell us where you got the nylon or at least what the name of it is. I am actually looking for a 1/4 stop material to slightly diffuse the sun. Thanks for the detailed post

Hey Bo… just gonna learn you on your own site

Clarity increases local contrast – particularly in the midtones. Its not sharpening exactly as the effects are much more widespread. Its more like adding a High Pass filter layer in PS blended using say soft light.

Unsharp Mask tackles the hardness of edges, essentially by increasing local contrast, but only in a very very tight area along the edge – essentially ‘deblurring’ edges. Clarity is a far more general adjustment and is far more like a contrast increasing curve that has more effect in areas that have higher contrast already.

hey Michele, for sharpening, I shoot RAW which means no in camera sharpening is applied, so first step in LR is essentially ’sensor sharpening’, it’s the preliminary sharpening to gain back some of the detail which may be lost through the lack of in camera process.

Unsharpen M= unsharpen mask…has similar effect as ‘clarity’ in LR

thanks for the questions…keep them coming

Hey! Is there a reason that you do sharpening in LR rather than PS? Also, what does Unsharpen M mean? Thanks–love all the advice you put on your blog!

Sounds awesome Bo! Congratulations on the move, and good luck with it. I was looking at these photos on facebook and think they are totally awesome, it’s been great fun watching you develop into the top photographer you are now. Looking forward to hearing about it all.
