psp_BOY: Sweeet!

ramblie: It's slightly overexposed.



Minolta 24-105mm F3.5-4.5 at 24mm F3.5 on a900. Vignetting is au naturalle, which can be such a nice surprise!

wah, nice one..!

Ya la... Exposure Compensation +0.7 steps

and I do some brightness

Er...how do you put some almost visible watermark on your picture here? I'm not familiar using PP la

albnok...
any PP?
The green...is very....nice!

xandman: No PP but I used Daylight WB... that brings out greens everytime!

ramblie: In Photoshop, use the Text tool and type your watermark over it. Then click on Layers and adjust the opacity to somewhere between 5-20%.

I hope you use that a900 a lot, it's an awesome cam. Went out for a troll, it just finished raining, took around 15 pictures, all at ƒ1.4. Will put up tomorrow. For Now,

Don't believe I've put this one up.

I see... Thanks for your teaching here today buddy

albnok...
thx for the tips!
and yeah it does make the green scream!

psp_BOY: It travels wherever I go (the LRT shot obviously, and the plant was shot just outside my office. No car so I end up walking a lot.)

I feel bad posting without a picture in this thread, so here's another:


Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA at 135mm F1.8 on a900. Not my lens. I wish it was.

xandman: No problem. Zeiss represent, above!

First, go buy Nikon D3




Joking, first of, I use Lightroom 2 and I shoot RAW, I have not used CS3 for a long while, only for merging photos and to do 'extended' post processing.

This was fairly simple, I adjusted the exposure slightly higher, added more blacks at +15, recovery at+83, Adjusted white balance from 5350K to 5936, clarity +21.

Highlights at +21, shadows at -13, dark +11, light +2, Although at this part it's not for all pictures. Sharpness at 45 rdius 1.0, detail 32, again not for all pictures. No noise reduction for luminance, just for colour since it was shot at a very low base iso.

Lots of vignetting was added, using the lens correction and post crop and I adjusted the camera calibration, with ACR4.4, shadow tint at -6, Again this part is not for all pictures as it might come out differently.

This was the original picture


and here it is after pp...


Again these settings will make other pictures turn out differently.

Anyway, thanks for sharing you valuable knowledge here my friend

So, you just do the adjustment in one picture without do some layering or merger the copy? Since I saw the flower quite bright rather than surrounding...

Naw, there is a history palette where I can go back to previous actions but I'm verry careful with the work. There are no layers in Lightroom, I've got to go use CS3 for that, but I rarely need to layer for dodge or burn a photo since lightroom ahs the ability to upp or lower the contrast and highlights. Plus with Lightroom 2 there is a brush tool where can apply a mask to adjust exposure, clarity, brightness, and can delete individual masks if you want.

Wah damn shy la I am totally n00b at RAW. (I use JPG) Is there a thread to RAW processing here?

As for vignetting, how do you obtain vignetting out of the lens without PP? I shoot wide open all the time to try to get the vignetting, but I only get it sometimes and I don't know how to replicate it.


Minolta 50mm F1.4 at F1.4 on a900. I didn't set up this shot, I found it while walking past a car park. Ouch to the flower buyer!

Photoshop or Lightroom can do vignetting easily, as for me doing ƒ1.4 with my 50mm on my D3 gives a heck of a lot of vignetting, and I love it!

first attempt

psp_BOY: Ooo, Lightroom 2's brush tool sounds neat! I always had the impression that RAW processors were just a bunch of sliders. Scary, to me. I only really dodge and burn in Photoshop 7 LOL.

I think I'm seeing a pattern here... it could be that close-focusing brings out the vignetting. Gotta try tomorrow!
