I think the problem is mostly in post processing. I use D70 which is a 6MP, and most of the time print using Canon Pixma to A4 size with (imho) good result. I...
Dave There is no question that the 'a' version is better, but you still seem to have lost all the fine detail. What ISO were you using? Could I suggest you...
Dave, I can see why you're disappointed in those shots. I agree with Trevor, I'd like to see the originals (at least one or two) as well. Trevor (and others)...
Dave, New pics are much better, but IMHO you still overdoing postprocessing a bit. I agree with others, can you post at least high quality jpeg, so we can try...
Interesting I uploaded 4 eagle shots (not enough room for one more) and they are RAW. Safari shows them as.RAW.tiff Never saw that befor..and it loads them...
These worked http://www.frontiernet.net/~dave_images_tests/egljpg/ Original sizes in RAW opening, 240 dpi and 3000x2000 Also converted to jpeg, 8 bit, and 72...
I thought the full sized shots looked pretty decent. Nothing a little tweaking in PS can't fix. I may be lost since I haven't been understanding everything...
Dave, I would suggest next time spot metering. With the D70 you can also 'lock' the exposure on a part of the picture, much like the focusing. Then you can...
Sharon I keep telling my wife that $5000-8000 for a big lens is very reasonable ;) She doesn¹t fall for it LOL ... -- D Av E [Non-text portions of this...
Greg, Yeah they were underexposed- which is weird as Slava pointed out I still lost detail in the whites. Weird huh? The only explanation I can say is the...
Can anyone explain how this can possibly work? I have always understood that each value (RGB) is coded 1 to 255, and a 'blown' (or the inverse) value is that...
It was me, claiming that EV is post sensor processing. Corbin corrected, that on DSLR it's mechanical or ISO depending on piority mode. Slava. ... From:...
$1000/lbs is a bit expensive grocery. She may eat you instead.... ;) Slava. ... From: virtualbeing To: Digital_Photography_Forum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...
If you have RAW file from DSLR or advanced P&S camera it has a bit more information, compare to converted RGB image. Also it is not an RGB format for all, but...
Or try the tasty glass, metal and plastic :) for dessert an archaic roll of film haha dave ... -- D Av E [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Dave Now that looks better! I think you were being way too optimistic with your eagle shots... Having looked at the latest files you posted, I guessed you were...
Slava Looks good...tonal range in the head is both shadow and highglights. First question: how do you determine the 2.65 ? I realize you can move the slider...
Thanks Trevor I¹ll take a look at it. You nailed my thoughts down exactly- the dynamic range. As I tried to preserve the eagles head, I underexposed AND with...
On my eagle1 shot http://www.frontiernet.net/~virtualbeing/lassenbirds/eagle/slides/eagle1.htm l If you open the Info with the ³I² button you can see the...
Dave, I made it from RAW and it’s 100% - no resampling. In ACR, when you sliding exposure compensation, you need to hold Alt key (or whatever equiv on MAC). ...
Slava Interesting technique. My guess is there might be some relationship to SA, CA, etc. from the TC with bad exposure. My tests of the soccer ball didn¡¯t ...
Slava Why does 1-bit equal 1-stop? Here is my theory: I think the dynamic range is defined by the sensor properties, not by how many bits the output signal is...
If everything is linear, then 1bit is one stop - every extra bit changes value (input or output) two times: 0000 0001 - 1 0000 0010 - 2 0000 0100 - 4 0000 1000...
I'm thinking of getting a new digital camera within the next month. My $250 HP, although I LOVE how easy it is to use, isn't cutting it in the picture quality...
by your discription of what you 'desire' in a camera, it looks like a DSLR. the price falls into the entry level CANON Rebel 350XT(at 8.3 mp) and that's with a...
Sarah, Yes, megapixels matter. Higher megapixels gives you more detail - whether you're blowing up the picture or not. Personally, I have been dissatisfied...
Sarah, Well, at least your requirements aren't very demanding! :) I agree with Kris and Mike - you're probably looking at a DSLR to meet your needs, and they...
These guys are right on with the DSLR. To my knowledge you can't get away from lag with anything but a DSLR. If you don't mind using an inexpensive lens until...
