I like the image but would have pulled more texture from the tree trunk and the ground, it looks like snow and snow has texture.<br />I don't often work for money but I leave the artistry to the director and just concentrate on working the machine. To be able to do that I have to know how it works and what it's limitations are. I'm a technician not an artist.

I don't known what you mean about the trunk of the tree being "blown". To me it was simply spotlighted by sharp October light. That's how it appeared when, plodding along, I noticed the scene. Of course I undertook some small adjustments in light, shadow and colour on the computer - but nothing too drastic. The end result is exactly as I wanted it. You may have a mind that is drawn to the technical side of photography but I could never go there. It just isn't me.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-296679758172484832015-10-28T07:03:35.447+00:002015-10-28T07:03:35.447+00:00You will also see another problem usually in misty...You will also see another problem usually in misty clouds or blue skies. Looks like bands of grey. This is called moiré. Named after an eel. They pop an anti aliasing filter on top of the sensor stack to desensitise it. Very posh cameras do this without but I doubt I will ever afford one.

It is not the actual sensor or photo receptors but the Bayer filter in front of them. There is also light bleed round the edges of the Bayer bits. I find auto white balance the biggest problem. I set it to sunny usually about 6500K. Then can muck about in the RAW converter.<br />YP, if you shoot RAW as Steve says you can play with shadows highlights. That would go someway to reducing the blow out on the tree trunk but watch it doesn't just replace the white with a vile 18% grey. I'd rather have blown white. There is really little excuse for not getting a good editor as GIMP is free. Just as mind boggling unintuitive as Photoshop. The trouble is that these programmes have been developed over a decade or two and stuff just dumped anywhere. If they cleaned them up folk that have persevered with them would be lost. I am starting to use Node editors and much the same thing is happening with their compositors. Video is a nightmare as there are so many standards that even moving projects from platform to platform requires the patience of a saint. I tend to shift projects from Photoshop to Blender and Fusion. Mainly because I know how to do tasks in one of them but not the other.<br />I am far from a Guru more like a Gnu. I just enjoy it.<br />A quick way of correcting white balance is to use the eyedroppers in Levels and if you don't have levels then you really do need a software upgrade.<br />ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-48175553572193477082015-10-27T12:31:24.679+00:002015-10-27T12:31:24.679+00:00Steve - Adrian is like the blogosphere's photo...Steve - Adrian is like the blogosphere's photographic guru.

If so you can often lighten the shadows and lower the highlights on the bright areas to bring out detail. Sometimes boosting the color just a point or two helps bring out detail, too, and make it more like what your eye sees. (You know all this, I'm sure.).<br /><br />Re. Adrian's comment -- I didn't know that about camera sensors. Maybe that's why we sometimes get that weird "digital green" effect, with super-saturated green colors that look unnatural?Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-42302224289422500602015-10-27T10:00:02.140+00:002015-10-27T10:00:02.140+00:00Thank you Adrian.Technically, I should try harder...Thank you Adrian.Technically, I should try harder instead of mainly relying on my "Super Automatic" setting.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-71379386344628185052015-10-27T09:57:12.814+00:002015-10-27T09:57:12.814+00:00Cheers Meike.
