Thanks!
but even then it is hiding shadows a person would see as the rods kick in. Maybe sensor design should emulate the eye
and give us B&W where the shadows are beyond the Dmax of the color wells.
That's not really the problem here. Shot at base ISO, there's lots of shadow detail that I could bring up. The problem
is that then it starts to look unnatural, the tonal relationships vary too much from the subject itself. I've brought up
middle and shadows and done other things to them to try to have it both look natural and retain much of the apparent
brightness range in a viewing medium that can't reproduce it.
Another thing that may be happening is your screen may be slightly less bright than mine, sabotaging my carefully
wrought strategy. ;-) I find it very sensitive to slight changes in overall brightness.
It was more beautiful in my head than in the camera.
Yes, I often come to that conclusion when I'm home looking through the day's results. Even after much agonizing
software work I just can't capture "it".
Ah, now you are I think referring to the second one, oaks at dusk. Yeah, lots of effort, but 'it' eluded me even more
than with the redwoods.
Thanks for looking and commenting.
