Colin, is this with the new set up for the R5?
Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
You got those colours just right.Those beautiful varied blues which many would hardly believe and the contrast yellow/green all the way down to the tail feathers. Hard to get as you say they don't stay around long.You should be very pleased with the R5
Thanks Ian, I am slowly understanding the R5, such a different beast to mirrored models. Quite less forgiving in many ways.
I expect you will find the same with your a1.
Hi Colin, great you now have the R5 correctly set up and can now deal with any scenario at the touch of a button, but don't fiddle. Have you also changed the profile in ACR to Adobe standard???
Processing looks better, albeit the NR is I feel too strong, as you create this image with a quite smooth/blured backdrop with a semi sharp image and so you have this 'jarring' between the two elements and this creates an imbalance. Ideally you have a subject 8-10m away from the backdrop and the 600 compresses the BKG and so you have this bokeh effect, but here the subject is mega close so don't apply NR and let everything be, it will look better. In addition why not go to ISO 3200, add a tad more DoF f/5.6 and use the rest for SS, not much between 1600 & 3200. Colours look/appear a bit drab, I think you could afford just to bring that golden colour up and minimising the Contrast you don't get a 'sooty golden yellow', likewise just dropping the exposure of the white brings out more detail & form. As the BKG is very cluttered try just darkening it, this allows the subject a bit more pop. I would also just crop a tad off the top & RHS.
