Amazing difference. I always shoot RAW, which gives me the oportunity to correct the exposure (to some extebd) later - without any quality loss. Only DON'T overexpose - it's irreversable. 255 white is WHITE. No detail - at all! I tend to set the camera to -0,3 as a rule. Jens Bladt Arkitekt MAA http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Shel Belinkoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 3. september 2005 17:26 Til: [email protected] Emne: DS Test Shots 1 & 2 Yesterday, while sitting in the garden, I grabbed a couple of shots of these leaves. The entire purpose of these exposures was to see if the camera worked, to use RAW, to see if there was any purple fringing because of contrast considerations, and to try to get an exposure that would show the shadows and dark areas nicely without frying the highlights. The lens was the 77mm Ltd, and it seems that there's no purple fringing in these shots. While technically the first exposure shows no fried highlights (couldn't find a spot that read higher than 253 in the bright areas) a second exposure, made with a 1/3 stop faster shutter speed looked a little better in the bright areas without loosing any detail in the darker areas. Both pics were converted to JPEG directly from the RAW image in Photoshop. No sharpening or adjustments of any sort. http://home.earthlink.net/~my-pics/test1.html 200 ISO, 1/250 sec, F8.0 http://home.earthlink.net/~my-pics/test2.html 200 ISO, 1/350 sec, F8.0 I think these two shots show what a great difference a small exposure adjustment can make - at least to my eyes and sensibilities. Looking forward to any comments of the technical quality of these two pics. Shel
