Hello Yew, my regards to you as well. I have been keeping up with your posts through Maura. I find all digital camera's to struggle with colors like magenta and certain blues, especially if they lean toward purple. The white balance is one thing to monkey around with, but I have not had very good results from that either. Once again, this makes me long for the old film days. Kodachrome 25 would handle those colors with its eyes closed. Alas, the digital age is here to stay and having your own darkroom on your laptop is pretty cool, as is taking tons of photos without having to pay development costs. I do find that I get better colors with those that are troublesome with changes in the light source and using different lens has an effect. I get much sharper, truer colors with a 60mm f2.8 Micro, especially with the f stop closed down about half way.. I usually use a tripod so I can shoot is lower light at more open apertures.Originally Posted by catttan
I too use Aperture as my processor and am feeling my way around with it as well. I am currently researching plug ins for HDR work in black and white. I've seen HDR used with b + w and the result is truly awesome, not garish or over worked as I find most color HDR to be. I am afraid I am too old to begin to learn Photshop, not sure I have THAT many years left. I am 52 after all and Photoshop, well...
Nice to post again. I don't currently have anything blooming to post and am such a rookie at growing orchids that I usually have nothing to add to most posts.
Take care,
Phillip
