ArthurDent Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks @@wim There is PP but only what's needed to generate a JPG for display/printing. I only shoot 14bit uncompressed RAW and process the NEF's in Lightroom but apply minimal processing. In fact I have a standard Import Preset which is applied to all the NEF files as they're imported and I usually only need to make minor adjustments, mostly to shadow and highlights to avoid clipping but sometimes I also have to mess around with Exposure and WB. PS. Good time to upgrade to a Nikon and I can highly recommend the D750 I'm pretty sure it's making the major contribution to the pics I'm taking. 1
wim Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Good time to upgrade to a Nikon and I can highly recommend the D750 I'm pretty sure it's making the major contribution to the pics I'm taking. "That was a great meal - you must have really good pots and pans", said noone ever. Don't sell yourself short - those are really good images. I'll look in to the D750, thanks. Could be an expensive month...
ArthurDent Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Isn't December always an expensive month

Guest myrantz Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 An image I've had a bit of a play with... Too much sharpening? or is that the intended effect?
steve u Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Lovely painting Richard..... just the right amount of treatment IMO.
Spearmint Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Too much sharpening? or is that the intended effect? The effect is supposed to be somewhat of an oil/pencil type finish. Read supposed, I'm not too good at this funky stuff Lovely painting Richard..... just the right amount of treatment IMO. Thanks!
Guest myrantz Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 The effect is supposed to be somewhat of an oil/pencil type finish. Read supposed, I'm not too good at this funky stuff Ah.. So that's the intended effect you seek. Found it strange as I didn't noticed that much sharpening from your pics before - The halos around the mast/ropes,horizon, etc.
RockandorRoll Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Super cool looking bug outside tonight. I think the photos turned out ok Bug experts got a guess on what it is? 3
Tweaky Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 It's a beetle. Phoracantha genus from what I see. ....which one? Starting point for absolute identification

Luc Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 It's a cane toad that's acclimatised to SA,obviously.
RockandorRoll Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I dont normally care too much about the wildlife around the house. We have koalas and possums just walking around doing whatever. Its just that this was the biggest beetle i ve ever seen. It was as big as my hand! Its gone now, im sure some bird will have a hearty meal tonight
Luc Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 It was as big as my hand! Yup. Cane toad transmogrified for sure
