<p>Chimping via the camera LCD screen is not a recommended method for determining color fidelity. At best it is very good for focus and for composition.</p>

<p>Fascinating. That RCA disc was sure a flop.</p>

<p>The plan to reduce the size of carry-on bags has been rescinded: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/18/airline-group-scraps-plan-to-reduce-size-of-carry-on-luggage-after-backlash</p>

 

<p>A couple of suggestions that I didn't see mentioned above: first, learn to use and decipher the histogram relative to the scene, how it is captured and what you want it to look like. That will help you with exposure compensation and metering. Practice shooting a single scene using various metering modes and different exposure compensation settings and learn how your camera works each scene.<br>

Second, you can use exposure bracketing very easily with a DSLR (and it's free, compared to film) and capture a variety of exposures</p>

<p>My favorite landscape lens is my 80-200; the 80-400 would be fabulous for those who like subject isolation. Sre, I also use a wide lens, but my preference is for mid-long zooms.</p>

<p>I watched this show and found it absolutely fascinating. Some incredible insights into photography and the creative process.</p>

<p>I second Owen's observations. A wonderful lens on DX bodies--I used mine on a D2X.</p>

<p>Jose, this may help:<br>

<p>Can't say I have ever seen this on a Mac (I'm on a 2011 MBP). On a PC it is a very common occurrence, but you can change access permissions. Not sure if there is similar option on a Mac. Methinks it may be a PSE issue.</p>

<p>Wish we had a PC buddy! or an android.</p>

<p>Add me to the list of B&H fans. The big difference between them (and some of the other real photo stores like Adorama) compared to Amazon, is you can call/email and get good advice from the former.</p>

<p>Check out Neil's site for the "black foamy thing" http://neilvn.com/tangents/?s=black+foamy+thing<br /> It helps shield others from the blast of flash when you are bouncing it off walls and ceilings.</p>

<p>Did you have the lens mount--both on the lens and on the camera checked for squareness?</p>

<p>It's been a while since I last used a mechanical shutter release, but I do remember a model that had a twisting adjustment to fine tune the amount that the inner element protruded. Perhaps this is what you are experiencing?</p>

<p>tame kitty, tame shot.</p>

<p>Playing with the white balance, either in-camera, or in Photoshop, can also make colors pop. As can creative exposure, shooting during the golden hours (early morning and late evening) or simply shooting very colorful and vivid scenes!</p>

<p>Exposure compensation?<br>

Check the battery.<br>

Don't know if this applies to the D1 or not, but some Nikon DSLRs allow you to set a constant adjustment to the exposure system so you can tailor every exposure to your shooting style, etc.<br>

Clean the camera contacts.</p>

<p>We've been over this "crop factor" and related issues a lot.<br /> A 50mm is a 50mm is a 50mm....<br /> no matter what it is mounted on and how much it covers.<br /> Otherwise lies confusion, if not exactly "madness"<br /> SO<br /> + what the others said.</p>

<p>Amen brother!</p>

<p>13 replies, none of which addresses the OP's question, all of which are total BS! Is this a record?<br /> In my view, "organic" is a rather pretentious synonym for "natural". The OP's bio page shows him holding a classic Rolleiflex, quite possibly fitted with a Planar lens. It is this kind of high-quality moderate-contrast single-coated lens which people may well be thinking of as giving organic/natural-looking results.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>OK, so what does "natural" mean?</p>

<p>Turns everyone you shoot with it into a tree-hugging, tofu- & quinoa-eating greener!</p>

<p>Thanks Michael--absorbing, as are so many of your postings!</p>

<p>Acratech light and secure!</p>

Nick, reflectors, flash and a change of exposure (higher ISO, larger aperture, or slower shutter) can help. The first two will help balance the light behind the subject, the last (exposure) will cause bright lights to be blown out.</p>

<p>I saw the ape, but the woman in the red skirt was topless, wasn't she? :)</p>

<p>Do you have exposure compensation on?<br /> What exposure mode (spot/center/matrix) are you using? Do you get the same results in every mode?</p>
