EOS R EF 400 DO I 1.4xtc II f8 1/6400 ISO 800
Just a few short weeks ago, I planned a visit back to this spot (Bunche Beach Preserve). Covid19 had something to say about that. I was excited to apply what I have learned since then (especially working in full Manual mode(this image was created in aperture priority with EXP compensation)). It is amazing how much I'm still learning about this body and PP. Around the same time frame when I created this image I learned from a wood stork post (Thanks to Ari and Jonathan's help) that the DPP setting's for noise reduction recommended by Artie and Ari (in their wonderful DPP guide) for the 5DmkIV (no EOS R at the time the guide was created) were more destructive for the EOS R. Especially in those subtle whites. So here is an old image applying yet another just learned technique in DPP to coax even a little more detail out of the whites. I was reading a detailed technical review of the new RF 70-200m lens. The reviewer mentioned, for the purpose of accurate measurements the sharpening was set to 0 in DPP. Reason being even 1 point of sharpening can destroy fine detail. So I processed with 0 sharpening in DPP just to try. Of course the biggest improvement will be from continued practice on EXP in manual mode.
I wish I had been in vertical for the full virtual legs. This beauty had just come out of a vigorous shake and this is a frame from that burst. Cropped from horizontal.
As always, I am ever thankful for valued critiques, comments and discussions. Please keep them coming.
