When I downloaded my images from Tuesday morning I learned that I forgot to change my high Kelvin WB back to AWB. While you can always change the WB during the RAW conversion shooting all morning at K7690 can be problematic as most of the images look over-saturated\/over-exposed during the review and sharpness is affected as well. None-the-less I was able to create lovely versions of many of my favorites. I’ve been swimming my half-mile plus ever day. <\/p>\n
Today makes two hundred six days in a row with a new educational blog post! This one took about an hour to prepare. With all of my upcoming free time (or not…), the plan right now is to break the current record streak of 480 \u2026 Good health and good internet connections and my continuing insanity willing.<\/p>\n
While reviewing my images from Wednesday morning at ILE I learned the Nikon AWB can cause worse problems than Canon AWB. In AWB with Canon, the color balance would sometimes change drastically when a wave broke over a sand background. That is understandable. But this morning with my Nikon gear the WB changed drastically from frame to frame while photographing a perched Osprey in constant early morning light. Best advice for all: try to remember to stay away from AWB and use the most appropriate WB pre-set instead. <\/p>\n
In the same vein, if anyone can explain the Nikon D850 differences with the three Auto white balance type options (as changed with the index finger dial): Auto*0, Auto*1, and Auto*2, it would be greatly appreciated. Same question and request for these two white balances (as changed with the thumb wheel): Sun Symbol A and Sun Symbol.<\/p>\n

It was always my first choice for scenic, Urbex (urban exploration), and flower photography until I fell in love for a while with the 5DS R (for a lot more money!). Then I switched to the 5D IV body. In addition, I loved my 5D III body for birds with my big lenses and both TCs. I used mine to create many dozens of high quality images.<\/em> artie<\/p>\n This image was created on the morning of Tuesday, February 20, 2018 while standing thigh deep in Tampa Bay next to the Hooptie Deux.
