Hello to everyone
Herr Liedmann has accompanied us to our beloved Kalahari on our last trip.
I asked for advice with PP- "first you have to find a grey point for the WB." I wanted him to demonstrate, which he did.
In processing the image I tried to turn him into a Smart Object, did not work:bugeyed:, went back to cloning...:S3:
None of the animals in this image were hurt in the making of this..
Cheers, Andreas..TFS..:t3
...Andreas survived this exercise and obviously helped us get better pictures:bg3:
Andre, you have forgotten to give us the techs...by the way, where was your FOCAL POINT?:2eyes2:
Andre - The problem was that Andreas needed to be further back, right between the lions for this method to really work.
:cheers:,
Rachel
Rachel, I think Andreas did not want to come in-between the two lions:bg3::t3
Hey thanks folks for keeping an eye on those lions :cheers:, that they donīt get me , but actually they had eaten that night so i was pretty safe .
Think we had a stunning idea all together .
Only one crit i have , i am tall as you know , but not as tall as in this image compared to the lions :bg3::bg3:.
Thanks a bunch for making our ideas come true .
Really lovely Andre .
Hoping for a next time
Gabriela, you know someone might just try it! :bg3:
BTW that mid grey point is 4.1% over, across all three channels, 54.1%.
Steve, at the time we were plotting this image, Andreas said "don't make it look too real"...I guess he had a point - not a grey one, but still a good point: if people believed this, no one would ever come with us on holiday again!
By the way, he was holding a piece of white paper in his hands - it was his Kalahari booking:w3
Andreas, thank you again for all the humour and fun:5
Haha! Seems like a big risk to take just for a perfect white balance! :bg3:
Indeed Christopher! The things we do to take better images:bg3:
Hey Gabriela it was great fun to share all sorts of stuff on this great trip , my best in the last couple of years , specially from the social POV , and you made this possible for me . Meaning you and Andre together , rarely i had that many laughs during my trips .
Just could not resist it. If Andreas hadn't posted since you got back then I might have thought you guys took things a bit too serious in getting the ideal WB. :Whoa!:Quote:

Steve - I'm just jealous you didn't do this for me. :w3
Well we certainly had plenty of opportunities with Lions & Leopards, you just had to ask, I would have gladly pressed the shutter. :bg3:
Hey folks now i see it would not even been necessary to use a grey card , this good old german is wearing GREY socks in combo with sandals ........... what a design disaster !!!!!!!!
Is looking horrible , good that my non photographer friends here at home will not see this . :t3.
"...Is looking horrible , good that my non photographer friends here at home will not see this . :t3"
Err...are you on Facebook?
Just kidding, my friend! I would not do this to you:w3 Especially since you had us in stitches every day over the radios...I still smile from ear to ear remembering the stuff you said:bg3:
Rachel, I'll ask Andre to do one for me pronking (jumping) with the springboks in February:bg3:
Would definitely agree on that Andreas, the left sock, (as viewed) has a far better mid grey point value than the card, so good call on that, but less so on the fashion side :bg3:, at least they were not white :Whoa!: !!!Quote:

I never wear white socks ........... so i can wear them longer :bg3:
You know, walking among a few rhinos or swimming with some hippos you would not have had to hold up a card to get the grey point!:t3 Fun one Andre!
You beat me to it Andreas, :w3.Quote:
