wingell Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 One more digital image. I'm still negotiating the learning curve. Your criticisms much appreciated. (Canon EOS 10D, 16-35mm f/2.8 L)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricks Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Bill, that photo is way to readish, you should adjust the WB setting to indoor light in these occation. Or convert it to black and white :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_kaplan1 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Color is just fine. It looks like candle light, even to the shadow placement. Burp! You'll feel much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingell Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 Thanks, guys. Given the appearance of the Tiffany lamp behind the subject, I thought the color balance was pretty close. I appreciate your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles barcellona www.bl Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 ...gives ME a warm fuzz (urp) feelin' for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick_van_nostrand Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I've noticed that National Geographic uses mainly daylight film in incandescent situations resulting in very warm pictures. I'm not sure of the reason unless it's because the editors don't like the quality of the tungsten balanced film or just the added amount of film that their photographers would have to carry.

wingell Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 Thanks, Peter. Yes, Raw sounds like the format of choice. And it's on my list of challenges to conquer. (I read recently that Raw supposedly gives you an image with more latitude. Is that possible--I assumed the sensor just does what it does?) I've noticed the same thing about warm images in NG, Dick. I guess you can assume it doesn't bother me. :) Thanks, everyone, for the responses. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pns digicam Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Raw mode allows you to capture what is essentially a parallel to a negative (or transparency), while jpegs and tiffs are essentially a "print". So a raw file is unprocessed- i.e. has not lost information, while a jpeg/tiff is processed and has lost some information forever, such as the ability to adjust color temp.<P> I suspect for the latest Nat Geo article on modern airplanes, which was shot digitally, McNally utilized raw mode since the indoor shots appear to be color-balanced, while the article on Tango, shot with film, has that warm glow for the indoor shots. Neither is "better", it's just personal preferences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry_ting2 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Bill since you ask for comments, I took the liberty of photoshopping it. Not by any means better than your's. Just a different perspective.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricks Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 PNS, actually RAW files are not really RAW, Canon engineering applies some sharpening to the transfered file. Only the Canon 1Ds and 1D give completely unprocessed files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_helmke Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I like the tones in this photo. It has a sort of 'light in the darkness' feel to it and I think the warm tones work here. The subject has a look on his face that is either neutral or well-fed/dazed and I guess that's up to the viewer. I'm liking your candid shots. Rick H.

pns digicam Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Thanks for the clarification Patrick. I have yet to shoot with anything other than a digital P&S, so whatever little I know is from reading only; I don't want to have to change my "first name" ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael s. Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Satisfied? Looks more like pickled, feathered, plucked, and stuffed. For a more lively expression, I'd suggest "Before the Turkey" next time. Lots of warm-looking lighting and candles around. Doesn't bother me. I think that's typical and acceptable in a holiday family dinner setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
