My last firework attempt

Just kidding ;)

MattJ

Looks a bit yellow to me

MattJ

/me goes dizzy trying to figure out which level ND filter he ought to get

MattJ

Aug 28, 2013 20:25

None of my robotics attempts have ever reached completion so far

MattJ

Aug 28, 2013 20:24

I don't mind

MattJ

Aug 28, 2013 20:24

I thought I was in the wrong room when I joined

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:38

I'll try again tomorrow if it's the same kind of weather (it will be, this is England)

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:37

Yeah

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:37

I was shooting a tree against the sky

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:35

Meanwhile for photos I want to actually come out good, I might stop trying to be clever, seems to work best

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:34

Trying :)

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:34

So confusing!

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:33

@EsaPaulasto Yeah, I see in the comments of the answer I linked that intentionally over-exposing and pulling down is a way to combat noise

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:31

and icky colours (but that might be unrelated)

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:31

Lots of noise

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:31

Got some rather disappointing pictures, I can say :)

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:30

I went out for a walk this evening (light going somewhat, and it's an overcast day), but was curious to see how things turned out under-exposing, and then pulling up in RAW processing

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:28

"earlier" means "some time in the past 48 hours" I think

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:28

@AJHenderson Ok, then why earlier were you saying you shoot -1EV, even with RAW?

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:20

and in that case is "highlight recovery" just a fancy way of saying "I lowered the exposure in my RAW processing software"?

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:19

or am I mistaken?

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:19

I'd have assumed that if something was clipped due to over-exposure, that applies just as much to RAW as JPEG

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 20:18

With the dragonfly example at the bottom, I'm confused about what "highlight recovery" is

MattJ

A: Good examples of RAW's advantages over JPEG?

The Value of RAW: I think you may be misunderstanding the value of RAW. In the grand scheme of things, from seeing a scene with your eye to printing it, the best you get is what the printer you printed with is capable of, and that tends to be considerably less than what you see, or your camera o...

Aug 27, 2013 15:16

and apparently I can't, since my "Yahoo Mail" account has expired

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 15:15

Just tried to log in, which I have definitely done within the past year

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 15:15

Go Flickr!

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 14:06

Could it be light reflecting from the clothes?

MattJ

Aug 27, 2013 13:47

The featured photos are too good nowadays :/

MattJ

Aug 26, 2013 21:06

I spent the day reviewing IT security-related legal documents, I'm here trying to forget that :P

MattJ

Aug 26, 2013 21:05

IT security, shudder

MattJ

Aug 26, 2013 19:22

Heh

MattJ

Aug 26, 2013 18:20

I think the question of light/dark is easier, and people tend to recall memories without thinking of light levels I imagine :)

MattJ

Aug 26, 2013 18:00

Looking like it was through the camera, or through human eyes? Don't people automatically compensate for the light source somewhat?

MattJ

Aug 25, 2013 20:54

Wow :)

MattJ

Aug 25, 2013 20:53

@AJHenderson Those were from the same exposure?

MattJ

Aug 24, 2013 23:02

Others besides, of course :)

MattJ

Aug 24, 2013 23:02

I've gone back to 2011 so far, and have 2286 photos of my brother, and 375 photos of sheep...

MattJ

Aug 24, 2013 23:01

Finally organising and tagging my photos

MattJ

Jun 11, 2013 21:31

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often

MattJ

Jun 11, 2013 21:30

I saw someone on SO reply to an answer to their question with another answer

MattJ

Jun 11, 2013 15:19

But also I only manage to get out with my camera every other weekend or so

MattJ

Jun 11, 2013 15:18

@jrista Well, I guess you shoot RAW and I'm shooting 5MP JPEG :)

MattJ

Jun 10, 2013 18:07

I guess it's probably close to 20GB now actually

MattJ

Jun 10, 2013 18:06

I thought my 15GB from 9 years was excessive

MattJ
