How Dark is Too Dark
How Dark is Too Dark
Hey all, I'm going back and forth on this one so I thought I'd ask for some feedback. I really like the moody atmosphere of this pic, but I'm worried that it's just too dark on most viewing devices except for a nice monitor or a good print. I can brighten the image, but there isn't much of visual interest in the darker areas, so I'm worried that it will be too boring of I do so. Thoughts?
You're viewing a single thread.
Looking at it with my iPhone 14 Pro on full brightness it’s just a little too dark in my opinion. If I save the photo and view it it looks a little better but still a touch dark. It might would be bright enough if there was more of a glow coming through the windows.
I bet it would look absolutely sick printed though.
I struggle the same way with dark shots. If it’s something intended to post or share with people, then I’ll look at it at 50% brightness on whatever screen I’m using and brighten it until it’s how I want it to look. I think that takes care of most viewing situations in which people would see the photo.
However, If it’s something just for me I’ll make it as dark as it needs to be!
Thanks for the response, I'm definitely going to print this one at some point. For now I'll make it a tad bit brighter :)
