Greetings. Some work on the sunny sixteen lesson... The stilts were chasing away the lesser yellowlegs and willets on this bright sunny noontime shot. Just straight by the rule:
D3 200f2@f/16 ISO1000 1/1000 manual pp: tone, color contrast in LAB curves, sharpening. Cropped to about 70%.
Not ideal light (pretty much straight overhead) but wanted to try sunny sixteen on, well, a sunny day. Seemed a dash underexposed, but didn't blow whites.
Michael- interesting capture of interaction. They are pugnacious those stilts! The image looks a bit dark on my monitor. The highlights in the Willet wings are running high 80s for Luminance in LAB (max is 100 but you shouldn't be higher than about 96) so you could go a bit brighter. I wouldn't disagree that S16 is working here but I wonder why the image looks a littel dark- maybe it's just me?
Hi Michael - Image looks a little dark to me also - Im not on a colour corrected monitor at the moment - so not too sure what I am seeing.
Might come back to this once I get home onto a CC monitor :)
Greetings. I may have over-cooked the OP a bit (working LAB adjustments into my workflow)....
Here's a pretty straight out of camera image (cropped):
This was shot straight S16 (AFAIK) f/16-1/1000-IS01000, sunny daylight WB.
Looks 1/3 to 1/2 under to me. ? In the field, with a scene like this (darks to whites, sky reflective bg above middle) would you have compensated exposure?
