RPS Posted January 14, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 14, 2010 Caryl: is this frame straight out of the camera, or is some post-processing involved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted January 14, 2010 Nothing I do is ever straight out of the camera. I always have to meddle with it. I have a new toy from PhotoMatix called tone mapping that is in my photoshop filters. That and the new HDR in the DLux4 are my latest toys.

leicamann Posted January 14, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 14, 2010 Very nice...but some post processing is need here Carl I can say now without a doubt ..you have a very definite color cast happening..in this case a shift towards the yellow..this is now evident in ALL of your photos.... unless you like the idea of having a permanent yellow filter across your lens..... Take the image into photoshop and using the "eyedropper" in Levels or Curves... trying touching an area you think is the exact white point or use the gray eyedropper for the gray point...you'll see what I mean Thanks for posting Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted January 14, 2010 I think the tone mapping brings out that yellow. I removed the color cast in Nik. thank you for your suggestions. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George James Posted January 14, 2010 Share #6 Posted January 14, 2010 Caryl, The revised version is excellent, I can almost feel the waves crashing against the rocks and smell the sea air. George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted January 15, 2010 Share #7 Posted January 15, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Caryl, I have not yet used the HDR feature on my DL4. Is the color shift a characterisic of the HDR or do you need to further adjust the WB of your camera? Does it have the same shift on the other color settings in RAW (standard or dynamic settings)? I have downloaded the latest firmware but have not noticed any radical color shift using the standard color setting. I will have to experiment this myself when i become motivated.

carylwithay Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted January 15, 2010 It is one of the scn choices. You have to select it. Nothing else has changed. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertoDeRoma Posted January 15, 2010 Share #9 Posted January 15, 2010 Another great shot in terms of timing and composition - I really like the flock of birds chasing the one bird. I'd title it "The Chase". But the colors are not to my taste. I will definitely play with the DL4's new HDR mode for the sake of it, but so far I - based on what I've seen from you - I am not crazy about the results. I would try to "save" the photo by desaturating all the way to B&W? Alberto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted January 15, 2010 That's a good idea. I will give it a try. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertoDeRoma Posted January 15, 2010 Share #11 Posted January 15, 2010 That's a good idea. I will give it a try.Caryl I like it in B&W. It has a surreal, painting-like, quality - especially the sky. Much better IMO. Alberto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted January 16, 2010 Share #16 Posted January 16, 2010 Caryl, The b&w version is spectacular. I like this a lot better than the color versions. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted January 19, 2010 Share #17 Posted January 19, 2010 Stunning Caryl, especially in B&W. I have not played with HDR on my DL4 yet...will give it a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share #18 Posted January 19, 2010 Virgil, the BW is the best of the 3. The standard is OK too but the art is a bit much for me so far. Maybe I will learn to use it right. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 19, 2010 Share #19 Posted January 19, 2010 Caryl - I knew it was yours before checking if it was. I prefer the surreal, stunning quality of the first. The 2nd & 3rd, for me, suffer by not having any detail in much o the surf, even though the detail is in #1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share #20 Posted January 19, 2010 Thank you Stuart. I am just learning how to use this new addition to the D lux 4. It is a new toy. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
