I've been meaning to post some stuff, but life keeps getting in the way. Here are a couple from a recent garden trip. Pretty close to SOOC. Cropped to 16x9 a slight touch of clarity on the 2nd. All with E-M1 and 40-150/2.8 Pro. Mid-day sun was a bit of a bear on this 32c hot day, but the combo handled things better than I expected
First one is untouched -- I walked outside in the warm humid North Carolina weather and took a shot with the Noct. The condensation caused the washout, but I liked it
Second I found a bit humorous -- my dog looking at me while my in-laws' 'welcome' mat sits in the foreground.
Third and fourth were just shots of opportunity - the decor inside their house looked like a neat still life shot to try, and the moss near their back yard fence looked neat with the sunlight coming through the fence.
I took a several pans during our sojourn in the Canadian Rockies. I simply locked the exposure and manually overlapped images. I often find that I only use about half the frames in the pan. I don't have the new LR 6.0, but have been using autopan on the mac to process the images. I usually set the FL at 25mm as I find that gives the least distortion. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well these images turn out. Here's an example. The original turned out to be 4142 x 8190 - almost 34mb- although that's not what I've uploaded here:
95th highest peak in Washington. Thanks to Jen from the mountain, Geardog, and Noah, for allowing me to get so high. E-PM2, custom Lifepixel (bluecut), 9mm bodycap, SOOC grainy. Thanks to fred miranda for the sharing, I learn so much here.
This was at the extremes of my Digital Processing capabilities; exposure was incremented by 2 EV and shadow slider was dragged rightwards by 70 in ACR. Slight sharpening and minimal NR.
