Calm At Night, After The Storm - a photo on Flickriver

www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/eastern-sierra-fall-...

We've tested a lot of lights and color temperatures over the years. This is a new light we tested in Bodie in 2021. We have to go with workflow that is proven for us over time, from capture through post-processing. But technologies do evolve, so it's good to do a reality check from time to time and adjust the workflow if warranted. In 2021 we did start to use some new shooting processes, new lighting. and new post-processing techniques to see if we could improve results.

Here there was light pollution from a light left on in the Miners Union Hall next door, so I provided balancing lighting to fill in the shadows on the front of the buildings.

While added lighting can reduce noise where the light strikes (there is a higher signal to noise ratio), it can produce a "light polluted" look; in those cases the lighting itself risks starting to distract from the subject and composition.

On my "to do" list for the future, I'd like to reduce the light on the right side of this building to make the adjacent light pollution less intrusive... the side of the building is not the subject!
