I downloaded this JPG and there's about 1 stop of exposure you can add in LR without blowing out the whites. You may have even more latitude with the DNG file. That immediately lightens the dog without making him look grey. Lift the shadows a little (+15) You can then use a local brush to kill the highlights on the snow. I'm happy to post the result of what I did if you would like me to. Yes, please do and thank you for trying to help the masters of black dogs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will appreciate any suggestions. The problem: When you start post processing to show the dogs eyes and coat texture you lose their total blackness. Especially in bright snowy light. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! When our Labrador is photographed, she is pure black, with sometimes a brownness under light. This is nothing more than her genetic breeding. Don’t be afraid to get the paint brush out on lightroom. Also, use a lastolite white balance reflector (UK) or a Whibal (US) from B & H . Finally in late low sun, crouch or lie on the snow to get the perfect, perfect black .

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Just been thinking about this-careful ! If you can photograph in snow near trees, the trees help break up the direct sunlight on the subject, would help the camera read the white balance on auto, and offer a background. Still, the archetypal best approach is low late sun, and practically lying flat on the ground. You can have the sun from any direction, but to get perfect tones to the black coat you must be relatively below the subject (maybe wearing a long ‘Canada Goose’ overcoat !! ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I'm really impressed at how you pushed this kit to the limits of its speed and ISO and kept the outcome so attractive. Thank you! The CL has a great sensor and the noise is fairly easy to handle in LR without any significant loss of detail. The trick at higher ISOs (as you know) is to not underexpose and to get as much light in as you can without blowing the significant highlights; I actually dropped the exposure on this by half a stop or more in post. Fortunately with an UWA lens like this it's perfectly feasible to get a reasonably sharp shot at 1/25th. I sorely miss the IS of the Olympus EM1 when I'm doing shots like this. with that camera I could have easily hand-held this at 1/5th and that was the Mk1, it has improved since then.

bags27 Posted March 8, 2019 Share #4750 Posted March 8, 2019 Yes, I can handhold the Q easily at 1/5 second or even slower as well. And with the f/1.7 lens, I feel as if light is almost not a consideration. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work down the road at Euston and frankly it was seeing your posts from here a couple of weeks ago that reminded me it was time to go back for another shoot. I left work early and was done and on my way home by just after 1800. This was my last shot of the session. I really like this shot with someone sitting on the swing and the deep black of the night. It's different and equally appealing 🙂 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember not that long ago when you would barely have walked around here during the day let alone at night. The regeneration has been spectacular. I'm planning to visit the new conversion at Coal Drops Yard sometime soon, have you been? Here's my 'just for fun' pano - 4 shots with the 11-23 at 11mm handheld. It really needs 2 or even 3 rows and a tripod rather than the single row I did so I had to stitch it to a spherical projection. Still it's fun and lovely to have a view of the whole roof span.
