The attachments appear to already have been processed from a D750 down to 1620x1080 attachments. This limits the creation of a final result covering all aspects of a final edit (noise and sharpening ideas, for example). The EXIF data is incomplete to determine what software was used to create these attachments nor to determine the original format images (RAW or JPEG).

Personally, I avoid multi-shot exposures for the reasons that occur in these examples. Even asking people to be still, there is slight amounts of subject movement. Given the power of digital editing software, you can coax a great image out of a single shot rather than merging multiple images.

I used the 2nd from bottom version (normal exposure?) for this processing. It seems the image could use some sharpening, but that work should be performed on the original, not this 1620x1080 version. You mentioned having LR, try the adjustments below. The attached has been cropped, leveled and centered slightly.

Thanks! I'll try these out when I get the originals into Lightroom sometime tonight or tomorrow.

The files are very small. The originals from your D750 should be much larger (assuming that you have it set to "Jpeg Fine" or whatever the maximum quality setting is).

When you upload the file from your Mac, do you have it set to "Export to internet" or some such? If you have, it'll shrink the file for uploading. A straight "Export" is what you need. Or just use the UHH browse function to go straight to the original jpeg file.

My advice would be to merge the middle three exposures, which should give you a relatively noise-free file with the data spread evenly across the luminosity spectrum. At the very least I would recommend excluding the brightest exposure from the merge.

These were downloaded to my iPad as a sneak peak to the mothers. You have the correct setting I used: jpeg=fine.

Per your recommendations I stored them for download. I quickly loaded these from my camera to my IPad so I don't know if there is some loss of detail from compression or how the os processes the files from my camera...thanks again! P.s. these aren't my only set... I took multiple poses all bracketed the same way.

The only way anyone can 'help' by re-editing the images is for you to redo this post (use the edit link) and attach and store each of the image files.


Oh, I didn't know what that option did so thanks!

Hey fellow Hedgehoggers! I need some tips on how to post process a group photo so my subjects stand out and "pop" a little bit more. I took these photos and did an exposure bracket. I'm thinking I need to stack them? I just don't know.... It was a late afternoon but not quite to the golden hour. Please advise! I have an early version of Lightroom and an early version of Photoshop to work with. Thanks ahead of time - Allan

Yes, there are a lot of challenges, and I won't be of any help on those, but there are folks here who know what they are dping for that type of photography.

By the way, if you click "quote reply" below the post to which you are responding that makes it easier to know to whom you are responding.

I am guessing that you are under age 70, which is good. We need more young people here. Don't let the grouchy old farts run you off!

Ahhh....my first two tips! Use "quote reply" and don't sweat the old guys! Yes, I'm under 50 years young.👍

What was your shutter speed. In order to stop motion it need to be pretty high.

Thanks! I've read that understanding the sport being played helps immensely in setting up the shots you want. Soccer is the hardest to me....that ball goes back and forth way too much!😂

Thanks, Mike. A lot of issues I run into are white balancing on some of these fields and gyms...I seem to capture that 60 hertz rate cycle that run through these old stadiums an awful lot. So this puts an emphasis on correcting in post. I also just got asked to take senior portraits of the football players and I see a lot of examples out there that I would like to emulate with my photos...

Hey y'all! New member here and I thought I'd introduce myself. Allan Ritter from Gulfport MS and I am a beginner photographer that got into it by shooting my kids sports. Self taught and am always on the look out for new tips. Currently I have been covering high school football and then started branching out into Volleyball, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, track and field and softball. I really would like to learn more about portrait photography and a lot more about post processing! Thanks and hope to make some new contacts! - Allan Ritter
