Wellington boat sheds, New Zealand.

Took these at the beginning of the year when I was in NZ, only just browsing my library tonight and thought I would process them.

Very nice compositions and colors Matt.
The one in the middle appears to have a tiny blue cast on the sand which can be related to the white balance in the image comes from a digital camera.
Then again a jpg @ 72dpi image it is not way close to the original :)
Cheers

Matt did you put the vignetting in yourself....or did that come from the lense you used? in the first pic

No sand in it! just concrete! here is the full res image, click here (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2471/3659950298_aaed3fcc0c_o.jpg), does it look ok ?

I dont think the cast is that noticable.....kind of makes the picture i think

[dmdigital]

Doesn't look like a cast is present in the full image. I think it's a combination of the small JPEG and the fact that it is placed with 2 others with a lot of blue, giving an optical illusion almost.

Nice shots!

[Chucaro]

The large image is much better :)
I can see on the file info that you are using a Nikon D80 and do not use Nikon capture NX2.
By using the Adobe products, Lightroom or Adobe camera Raw, the software ignores the camera settings, there fore there are double PP on the images.
Problems with the post processing will be increased if the photographer shoot directly on jpg format instead of nef.
I am very reluctant to use Auto White Balance with the Nikon D200 software
All in all as I said before they are very nice images with intensive color tones and nice composition.

I have a D80 too and I also use lightroom.......and I always shoot raw and ifI remember I always take a white balance shot before shooting somewhere so I can correct it my self

I do the same... don't always use a white balance shot though, just eyeball it normally!

well yeah so do I like I said when I remember:D....i carry my 18% grey key card..in my bag I always remember to shoot it when I have changed scenes and its no longer relevant :lol2:

[Chucaro]

When I started using the D200 after using the Nikon F801s for many years I ignored the white balance settings and found out that I have a light blue cast in my images which I have to correct on PP.
Now I never live the WB in auto and adjust it to suit the conditions.

[matbor]

More and more now, I will shot in auto white balance, in RAW, and fix it in lightroom normally.

Normally don't have any problems doing it this way!

Matt.

[dullbird]

me either but then that's coming from my own personal view others might look at think **** that white balance is way out!! :lol2:
