Assignment: Textures and Colors - “Night Rider ”

Note: A textured sandstone oil canvas finish was applied for fine detail enhancement.

This majestic lady stopped for a rest at Pops’ garden. She was painted with a Nikon D3 using a Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR lens, with a Nikkor 1.7 T/C, and a 12mm extension tube.

Image Solution:
focal length @ 510mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / matrix metering / ISO @ 1,250 /1/640sec - f/16 / exposure comp @ -0.3EV / white balance @ cloudy / AF Mode @ AF–C, dynamic range /color mode @ sRGB / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +1 degree / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / lighting solution – ambient light / support platform – monopod assist.

Comments greatly appreciated…:cool:

Great details and colours. Really like the canvas and the amber colour of the dragonfly. Very nice Gus.

Like the finish - colours and Sharpness and composition all here in spades :)

You know I love the the Sandstone Finish, how do you get this - is it a plug in or under my nose?

I use CS4,...
