Sports Kickboxing Training

Kickboxing Training · 12:38 PM

A friend asked me to go along to his kickboxing class at the gym to take a few shots, and here are the results from shoot. A bit heavily processed, but I think the shots called for it.
Enjoy

Nice series, but I think the shadow/highlights are just a little bit overdone. great action, though!

Yeah, I guess especially when you see the haloing around the people, then that's a sure sign it's been overdone. Thanks Adam

Personally, I'd like to see less processed or even completely unprocessed (like in "result of default conversion with minimal tweaking of tones and color") version of these photographs. They are brilliant in capturing the moment, the emotion, the movement, but I'd like to compare them with the originals also to learn about the applied processing.

No.6 from above, and the following shot are what the more normal, less shots look like. I was being lazy, so the actual processing was just a Lightroom preset that I had downloaded a while back, and I just felt that they kinda fit in with the photos, but once again, with the halos, the effect was probably a bit strong.

I think the processing adds a bit of character to some of the otherwise less interesting scenes.
