I was trying to do this myself, using various things in Lightroom, but I have never achieved result that was worth it. I was trying to get reflection look like on this photographs from James Moes maybe from photo like this one:

Here you can see that. It's like gradient coming from left fading towards right side of photo. The warmth on the blackness.
Have anyone advice how to achieve such this effect. I'd be very thankful.

Rion, please check the Forum Rules! If you don't "own" the photo, you should post a link to it, not the photo itself!

This.
And I guess you can do that in post using a VERY big and VERY soft brush in Photoshop and then reducing the transparency to taste.


Photography is about GEAR and not talent or practice. Practice won't make you a better photographer. Expensive equipment will. =D

I'm sorry, thank you for pointing that out, I was really not aware of that.

I tried it even in photoshop, but I never got result as on that photo. But I will try something else, thanks.

That look works because of the way the image was shot. While there's certainly processing added in there, if not for the quality of the light in the original it would not have worked well.
