First track day of the year, at Mission, in the pissing down rain, with the new (to me) race car.
By the way, this is the appropriate driver apparel for such an event, officially sanctioned by the various Canadian racing associations. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1206701760.jpg |

From my recent trip to Northern Utah, Bear River bird refuge - the first 3 are HDR's and the 4th is a 30 second night exposure.

Rob,
As Todd said. ;) I saw the original pic in Todd's other thread and it's been eating at me that it was a little soft. It's a digital thing. Actually, film as well to a certain extent. Google 18% grey and read up! I set the black and white points using Photoshop using the RGB numbers, closest to, well, B&W. In other pictures, it makes a drastic difference. Todd, are you using in-camera sharpening? Chris, I'm envious on your HDR work. One day, CS2 will show me some love. |

I'm still a neophyte at post processing...I just fiddle the sliders in Aperture and call it good. For color I generally don't do much unsharp mask though ("definition" in Aperture). In fact with my color images I rarely touch them...only adjust exposure. The new update of Aperture (2.1) has a dodge and burn plug-in though so I might play with that. But in general I avoid a lot of pp. Black and white I have my "formula" for getting the look I like. The usual thing is to use the "monochrome mixer" (coverts to B&W but you've still got control over tint), up the contrast depending on the image, crank the definition, the lighten shadows and ease up on highlights if I have to. I tend to shoot low/available light so I have noise, but I like that for B&W. I especially tend to like the way that the Leica small sensor noise looks at about iso800. |
I have 'normal' sharpening set in the D100, but don't really know how it affects raw ".NEF". I end up using the "unsharp mask" under PS as well. I understand the raw format, but it seems that when opened under ACR (Adobe PS raw converter), that it senses a bit of sharpening, but you (the user) have control to make adjustments.
Anyway, looks like you are having fun with your new K20d. |
