Marquinius Posted June 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 7, 2009 Bertje, Another fine example of Dutch sundays . A few thoughts: - in the man and sailingboat I have the feeling that something more exciting is happening to the left: the guy looks away! - IMHO the photos can be enhanced in post processing: levels and curves in Photoshop will do wonders. On my screen they are a bit drab and gray. I took the liberty of fiddling a bit with your windmill: levels, curves, shadow and high lights, a touch of sharpening. All in all 20 seconds work. If you look at the "digital post processing forum", you'll find a lot about B&W conversion, touching up, sharpening, etc. Keep posting! This is a fun forum and there's tons of generous and well meant help. Marco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertje Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted June 7, 2009 Hello Mark, Thanks for your reply and advise. Photo 1. I cropped the photo because the guy was talking to another guy on the left and was quite disturbing the hole picture. And another point is, if he was looking at the sailor, the photo should be a bit boring than. Photo 2. You are quite right about the grubby ( grauwsluier) but, ( there's always a but) I dislike white sky's. I hate that. I work with lightroom and PS3. Perhaps I give it another try. Anyway this type of photography I'm not trained in. But now I am the owner of de D4 and hopefully I make some progress. Thanks again. Bert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted June 7, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 7, 2009 Bert, I noticed that the histogram was left oriented, suggesting a slight under exposure. There's tons of info about how light is captured on the chip, but basically I always keep in mind that capturing starts at the high side. So if the first captured light starts at halfway the histogram, I left out a lot of valuable information. Happy shooting! The D4 is an awesome machine.
