Ive not even got as far as the face yet and been studying it for 10 minsYou're welcome. I'd also tone down the highlight a touch on her face as her make up has caught the light harshly.
Agreed. Every time I venture in to the D500 thread, all I see is pictures of tits.![]()
Nice Tim. I was hoping to get out in the morning light but the missus took an age to get ready, so it was a bit harsh by the time we took the little one out. Got one that looks ok.
What don't you like about your colour processing?
Just feel it lacks something, think I'm going to try and add more flash for the portraits now Amelia stands still (sometimes)
I suppose depends on the overall look you're after. It looks relatively muted to me which is so popular right now. I think I'm over that myself, can't get it always looking right, suppose I keep trying to mimic the contrast and colour of RH but yet to crack it. Settled on a portra based one for now with a little more contrast.
Biggest problem I find is a consistent look across different light. I do like the muted, low contrast, faded black look but mostly when you have great light to work with, I can't seem to get it looking right in bad light. Adding a bit of flash certainly adds some crispness especially indoors IMO.
I need to plan some projects. Anyone got anything interesting they are planning this year?
Should do some street photography plus there's a couple of landscapes I keep meaning to do..
Ha, In 2 weeks im off to the Zoo, in May a long W/E and got the HOG (Harley Owners Group) (No I dont own one)Its in Grimaud and St Tropez Love going to this event, so much to see and the people are fab and colourful.
End of June another holiday, going to North Italy and Switzerland (another HOG W/E) and to see the mountains of Switzerland Plus a bit of Macro photography I guess
In-between all that, other days out into the Mercantour National Park (more mountains) with a drive on the highest mountain road in Europe (apparently)
So Landscape and Pano shots planned for all trips plus people event shots.
Hope soNice one (or few)Sounds like you`re gonna get some great opportunities for shooting ...

2 and 3 are awesome mate.![]()
2nd & 3rd are v good. That baby has teeth!
The 24-120 is a nice lens. I currently have the 24-120 and 24-70, I'm thinking of selling the 24-120 but haven't been able to part with it as second hand prices are just daft. Seems they go for around £360-400 due to the huge number that have been sold as kits with D750's reducing their sell on value. MPB will probably pay around £375 as new but don't take grey kit.So, questions. Just ordered a D750 from Panamax, think a good price at £1657 with the 24-120.
Debate is do I sell the 24-120 and continue with my 24-70 f2.8, or the other way round. Like the fact of having something a little longer and lighter but the quality of the 24-70 may swing it. Opinions.... If I'm selling the 24-120 I'd like to sell it unused.
Also what battery packs are you using and what do you think to them?
Thanks

Battery packs-I like them. I have the Nikon one that I bought on here. I have a Meike on a D7200, it's ok but not as good as the Nikon one, and seems to have a weird issue where when it's moved slightly it turns on the green led on the rear of the camera even when the camera is off. It comes down to price, if you can find a second hand Nikon one they are worth the extra but not at full price.
It's strange because I've heard this a few times. They wouldn't take a 18-140 from me because it was a grey lens from panamoz (they asked if it was grey or not, and said they only take UK stock). At the time they didn't have any other 18-140 lens so it shouldn't have been due to stock levels. Sounds like it may depend on who you deal with from MPB.MPB took my D750 last year, filled their form in and put down it was from Panamoz. Maybe it depends on their stock levels whether they take grey or not?

Well my other half got me on a photography day in the Peak District doing waterfall stuff on the Longshaw Estate. That isn't till June but I decided to buy into some "square" ND filters, so with that in mind I want to plan in a bit more time to practice and do some landscapes too.
Lovely images they are my friend love the process too.. Which lens was used?Went for a brief walk in the harsh mid day sun yesterday..
