Here are few shots SOOC, loaded into my iPhone (I don't have my iPad or laptop with me) and then to Dropbox. I did a little noodling about with my X-T2 shooting RAW+JPEG. These are a few of the SOOC JPEGs. There are some where I tried some longer exposures with fast running water. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ru4r3z0oad73sj/File%20May%2014%2C%2017%2038%2001.jpeg https://www.dropbox.com/s/olv8r01v0cmdv6w/File%20May%2014%2C%2017%2037%2026.jpeg https://www.dropbox.com/s/h0mcxgeppn1upww/File%20May%2014%2C%2017%2035%2018.jpeg https://www.dropbox.com/s/aze9uofuhv2di5v/File%20May%2014%2C%2017%2030%2038.jpeg https://www.dropbox.com/s/3bw6qp8icze5pin/File%20May%2014%2C%2017%2031%2049.jpeg Anyway I am spending the night here, so I will be shooting more in the morning. Whilst the detail contained within the shots is all good they are all a bit underexposed and lack contrast. They are all greatly improved with just a slight S curve applied in your curves tool of choice. Not sure I agree; I rather like the muted tones on an overcast day. Here is a different take on Half-Dome, along with a few of the usual suspects: https://www.dropbox.com/s/epgeyyp4avwbo5l/DSF4554-E.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/fl816t3q54tjifw/DSF4570-E.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/rj06j4oyn5tsut6/DSF4603-E.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfkhzj7w7ir4q72/DSF4655-E2.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/f9vhnw0dtn8die2/DSF4715-E.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/0kh2pu05ihl478p/DSF4623-E.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/e7lj081y5hqtihj/DSF4632-E.jpg To me, they all seem to have a steely-gray look - almost a drab look. Well both days were pretty overcast and drab. The weather is always wrong when you take a special trip. Nevertheless I suspect it's not just the weather and the lighting of the time. OK. Yeah, the granite had quite a lot to do with it. There is more to it than that. The colors look slightly off and the lightin is peculiar. I have had a quick go at one of your shots with Photoshop although this required dabbling in unfamiliar territory. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/s6dbcdd34m...3-EES.jpg?dl=0 I first had a go at haze in Lab mode and then applied individual curves to R, G and B channels. Then I found it beneficial to slightly increase the exposure and gamma. Finally I applied smart sharpening. Sorry to say that looks very wrong, and a tad oil paintish. However, since you are in a tinkering mood, here is an RAF for you to play with. I will leave it up for 24 hours. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pj7bmsr7vabc9dt/_DSF4603.raf I should also add. until my X-Rite i1 arrives I am having to rely on the original factory calibration of my monitors which are currently set to AdobeRGB. This should really only affect the greener greens of which there are few so it shouldn't be too wrong even when viewed in sRGB. -- Regards, Savageduck |
