Whimsical. Really nice boots too.

Whimsical, my word of the week! Thanks L$S

You really waited for the perfect moment for this one. Dapply light is something incredibly difficult to shoot with, but you’ve managed to get it on the subject and the secondary subject almost perfectly. And you’ve done that while being able to tell a story. Great shot.

Thanks Rob! It was a lovely day.

Looks magical David. Very beautiful photo 🙂

Thanks Dahila. It is Speke Hall in Liverpool. They have a walk through the woods all about the giant of Hale.

Sounds very interesting, thank you David 🙂

Fully going with dahlia , such a gorgeous image you made David , everything is working .. the young girl and the setting with an oversized book is classic stuff mate , great job well seen.

I love the cross processing vibe it has , i especially like how to worked the greens they feel part of the scene , i can’t stick that straight out of camera green i see it all the time bright saturated green , it has its place tho.

[davidc]

Thanks Patrick very much appreciated. Green is always a problem for me.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

@davidc may I ask what camera you shoot with?

[davidc]

Hi Rob, It’s a D850, bought it second hand. The price now is coming down due to the Mirroless cameras.

@davidc  So I have a D810 and I also have problems with greens. A friend a long time ago told me that Nikons have problems rendering green. I wonder if there was something in that.

[davidc]

Just found this!

A Nikon may render images with a green tint on the LCD screen due to a known bug in the Long Exposure Noise Reduction feature, fixed in firmware version 1.01, or a variation in the camera’s LCD color calibration. To address a persistent or inconsistent green rendering, you can try updating your D850’s firmware to the latest version, using the factory reset option, What I have found in lightroom is to first go through the profiles, Camera matching flat seams to work well for me.

I had no idea – thank you for this, David. I’m gonna go and do it now. @davidc

[Patrick]

I heard many people say that about green , and red in some cases

Btw , your bracketing issue , i done something like it a couple of nights ago , it was about an hour before i worked out why … I was shooting in already low light , my camera has a built in nd4 filter and operated with a small lever on the front face of the camera i was shooting with it on for an hour and wondering why everything was dark or why was i getting slow shutter speeds for a tiny bit more light , once i flicked the lever everything lit up like a christmas tree haha …. 1 – 1 lol one all

[davidc]

Glad it’s not only me!!!!

Trees, a Young Lady, Dappled Light, and a story book to boot. Can’t go wrong with that subject matter, nicely caught.

[davidc]

Thanks Robert. Right place right time.

[davidc]
