Here's the first post about Table Tennis.
In this shot, I wanted to concentrate on the racket only. Placing it near the net made it much more interesting than plainly just on the table.
Here's the setup:
I needed the help of my son to cover partially the handle because of the reflective emblem. No flashes here, just ambient light. I was lucky as the shadows are heavier on one side.
This was shot with my Fujifilm X-T20 + Rokinon 50mm 1.2. This is out of camera raw with Lightroom presets (Adobe Color):
From now on, the before and after will have the same whitebalance. I didn't do much retouching here. The highlights are dropped a lot and I bumped the clarity, contrast, and shadows a bit. I lowered the overall saturation by just a little bit. In HSL, the blue saturation was dropped more with a little bit for the red. Some areas like the corners where darken by using the brush to isolate the subject.
After showing this picture to my other table tennis friends, they wanted one as well. As of writing this post, I already changed these rubbers to something else but I still like this picture.
