You’re all free to play with it, and reposition anything you like. My thoughts are that since I know the whites are not blown out (according to PL5) I should leave them as-is.Īs to the cropping, and the arrangement and composition, it sort of looks “goofy”, but according to my eye everything is “balanced”, with the copyright at the lower left to fill in the “hole”. I had my 35mm lens on my Leica, and for this photo 50mm would have been better, so I just cropped. Here’s my question - if I know for a fact that the white area in an image is NOT blown out, do I leave it as-is, as in the image below, or do I again make it just a hair darker, so people won’t feel it’s blown out? It was slightly overexposed, but I fixed that in PL5 until it looked good. I saw this small boat coming down a narrow waterway, and took the photo pretty quickly. Now it happened again, in an image I took late this afternoon. According to PL5, the highlights are not blown out, but I made the whites just a tiny bit darker so they wouldn’t appear to be blown out. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been processing images with a lot of “white” in them, most often the tops of sailboats. I’ve got a fairly simple question, and I’m curious if there are better ways to deal with it than what I’ve been doing. (It shouldn’t matter in my photos, as they were all being focused on the buildings, which I suspect was at “infinity”.)
I want both cameras to be set identically. I apologize - I’ve been totally wrong about this. That was my goal years ago, and that’s what I want it to do now. Now I need to watch the second video, and verify the pressing the rear AE-L/AF-L button focuses the camera once, and stops - and if I continue to hold that button down, the camera will continually focus. So, now that when I press the focus knob on the left side of the camera, I can turn the front and rear control wheels, and now both cameras are set reasonably.
Worse yet, when I copied all the menu settings to the second D750, a you have all pointed out, that camera was set in some screwy configuration I didn’t understand. Now that I have watched the first video, I found my original D750 was no longer set the way I thought it was. This was around four or five years ago, and I seem to have forgotten almost everything. So much that I’ve forgotten over the years - I set up my camera originally like this: Ignore anything I wrote about how my focus was set. I thought I had it in aperture priority, probably should have just used Manual. I remember setting it to f/10 before going out on the balcony to take the photo. Well, almost, but you used f/16 instead of f/10, thus introducing a smidgen (technical term ) of diffraction.
