Ok, last night I took a few pictures from the same place in various settings.

Which one would you use, and what processing would you do to it??

Please feel free to do some processing and then re-post back up your results - if possible explain what you did and why. . .

Thanks

 

Were they shot in RAW?

 

No, after previous advice, currently using high res jpeg

 

To me, this one has the most emotive feel....



The blue ones (cooler ones) dont suit the photo.

The one I think is the best looks like it was shot with a purpose. The lower half is darker...kind of like it's emerging.

Of them all, its the best IMHO. However, tripod, and longer exposure would have given you more accurate lighting, with minor flares....which would have made it look great.

 

i would have to say the first one has the best potential, careful with the lights in the shelves

 

Here is a quick chop of what I thought this pic was trying to say...

 

Would you mind explaining what / how you did the changes??

Thanks

 

Dan,

I will say this again in an effort to help you from frustration now and later...


"I can't tell you what to do, but what might help is to shoot both RAW and Jpeg's at the same time... This way you can see the images right away and share them, them come back to the RAW images that compositionally you liked to edit them. Check the owners manual to see how to do this... It's a setting under image quality."


Shooting jpegs is going to waste your time, produce lousy images, and paint you into a corner. But again, I can't tell you what to do... Only offer advice and enough information for you to make your own decisions.

Norman - thanks, only in jpeg's for these due to the time available during our tour.

When I have more time available I'll definitely take pictures in both and go from there

 

Dan,

It's a setting in the camera that when chosen takes 1 image and saves it 2 ways. It will not take additional time to shoot this way and will give you flexibility to process later rather than being stuck with whatever the camera decides. The setting is under "image quality" on your camera.
