Hi Mike
thanks bud! and here is a brief run on my workflow...
Convert the raw image to jpeg in Picture Project.. (uncompressed)
Crop
tune colours
fine tune contrast with curves
Shadow / Highlight (slight adjustments only)
sharpen with USM 100 - 170% at 1 and 0 usually
Neat Image filter for noise.
thats it., nothing special. The lens is the key... the lens I use cost me 7,700 including tax, Canadian.. and the optics are awsome.
Which leads me to my best advice for everyone.. get good glass!
For basic photography I recommend the 17-55 Nikon zoom., best all around lens I know of.. I will get one some day.
The D200 is the best Dslr for the money on the market.. D80 is a very good camera also. Do not buy it with the kit lens!
I know Canon makes awesome cameras, and one day I hope to buy a 30d.
I now use my d70s for back up, and for Daisy., but a 30d will allow me to buy the 500 mm IS lens., and Nikon dosen't make their long lenses with VR.
Hope this helps!!
And yes LaFoto.. as always please give anything I shoot to your daughter,.. and I would like to see her artwork too! Have you ever heard of the Art forum called Wet Canvas?? She should have a look!
take care!!
Thanks, am having my final holding session today and will come home with my D200 or D80...and nope, I wont buy the kit lens if I get the D80, they have an 18-70mm in apparently which was recommended to me as not so easy to get here now.
You are one lucky man to have such amazing opportunities. Would have loved to have been there. Great stuff - thanks for sharing.
