Anyway, that's an amazing picture!

not that much processing but did i used the vivid color profile from this website :http://www.piraccini.net/2011/02/profili-colore-sony-a900-per-adobe-lr.html
that douglas posted about in the NEX discussion thread. then i did a little curve tweaking and exposure/black point adjustment. i believe i needed to use a fair bit of fill light too.

Very nice shot sebboh, and a theme that is very much in fashion atm. Prints would sell like crazy. I just downloaded the camera profiles, going to give them a try.

Good ones...Philber,as I think you´ve been using Zeiss ZM for a while now, apart from the focal lenght, what lens do you think has the better (whatever it means...) image quality and rendering, the 25/2.8 or the 35/f2 ? Are they easy to find in Paris? I´ll be around in September...

the same way you choose standard, faithful, portrait, etc camera profiles on your canon cameras in lightroom – it's the profile pull down in the the camera calibration section of the develop mode.

thanks, i'm afraid i'm not much for trying to sell prints (to much like work). anyone who wants to sell them for me is welcome to at least half the profit though.
Thank you sebboh for taking the time to comment, and congrats on top of what has already been said about your fine backlit trees.

Continuing to love the default BW SOOC shots the NEX 3c is able to produce. For the first time in almost 10 years I am able to take my hand away from RAW development and the ProPhoto color space and it feels somewhat liberating. I would still give my overall jpg crown for color to the Fuji S5 pro I keep around just for snaps, but for BW, NEX produces some silvery goodness. Just my 2ç.
All has been said already but Again, awesome shot sebboh!
Davidex, love the flower series, in particular #1 - #3! For the last tree, at least on this iPad screen there's some nasty halos. The Mir 20 looks great - dont know what lens it is but will have to have a look ..
That last shot is super cool sebboh. The green on the tree may be just a little too vibrant (and bright) for my liking though. I do love those rays though!

i agree actually. this is always my problem with these high dynamic range light ray scenes. if i show more natural dynamic range much of the captured detail is lost in the shadow. if i pull up the shadows i can never make it look natural no matter how much i tweak colors (the new color profiles are an improvement though).
i almost deleted the photo after i uploaded it, i've never been very happy with it's composition. it's been sitting on my hard drive untouched till yesterday when i was looking for some difficult photos to try out the color profiles on. it has a lot a lot of pop and is attention grabbing, but i'm just not happy with the angle. if i had been there half an hour earlier, perhaps i could have gotten a better one.

that's my issue, i don't want to spend time marketing, or pay for a gallery that no one will find.

I don't print myself. MPIX coupled with Zenfolio handles my printing and it's one less hassle for me to go through.
I just ask places where I see pictures up if they want some of mine. Sometimes, most times, they decline. Sometimes, I get to bring a print in and make a good chunk of change on it. If you got one of those a year, you'd have it paid for.
