markalot Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 So I was marvelling at your last FTS and trying to understand how your pic, with that nice Nikon full format camera, can look so much better than mine. Small aperture, 1000 ISO, 30ms exposure. My pics always come out with too much contrast and lost details. This is in RAW, not JPG. With the light son today I'll try all my lenses to see if it's the kit lens causing the issue or what. You have any pro tips? Quote Link to comment

With the light son today I'll try all my lenses to see if it's the kit lens causing the issue or what. You have any pro tips? well i used a DX 40mm f/2.8 macro lens on my D610. not sure if that has something to do with it. it was mounted on a tripod as well, with a remote shutter release. what i noticed helps a lot with pictures is warmer light. I have my camera set to the 10,000K setting, then in Lightroom i slide the temperature dial almost completely to the warmer side. I bring out the shadows, drop the highlights and contrast a tad. i also don't have any blue LEDs, which i always had trouble shooting under, when i had my radion i turned them way down or even off to take pictures. double checked my adjustments here's what i changed Temp: 43000 Tint: -5 Exposure: -0.40 Contrast: 0 Highlights: -38 Shadows: +44 everything else is 0 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thats why im happy i used mortar for my scape. Looks great though I had it pretty sturdy when I left, epoxied and everything. But it must cracked off when they scraped the glass or something. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 After getting an amazing deal on a Simms Fly fishing vest I went ahead and ordered some waders and wading boots. I've been in Boise way too long without fly fishing. LFG! Quote Link to comment
