The 52 Project 2018 - Week 08

[Korky]

Here we are at Week 8 and it's a theme week.

The theme is 'Straight Out of Camera' so no need to do the big twiddle for this one (that's me snookered!)

As Rye and myself are such nice chaps, we'll allow a slight crop and a levels adjustment, but NOWT else. Tip the Topaz, nobble the NIK and dump the DxO - you can't use 'em.

And...... as always, if you're not happy with the theme, blame Rye!

Need to get mine out the way early this week because...... well, just because.

This was shot as a 1:1 JPG and it's had a teeny-weeny crop and a tweak in the levels department to darken the BG.

I should say I don't like this way of processing, but I'm very pleased with the quality of the basic JPG and I think I might experiment more.

So here's mine, no twiddles, no tweaks, no adjustments, no crops

Two Trees on Pendle.... f11, 1/160th, iso200 + graduated ND filter to darken the sky.

My idea for the theme was to get people back to thinking about framing and in camera adjustments and filters in the way you did back when it was all film. So other than the frame on the finished image, this is how my original looked.

Nice light on some jonquils - no twiddling other than a slight crop to downsize:

I'll post the edited version in another thread later...

That is a lovely photo, Gareth. Nice soft colouring and good focus.

[Hatter]

Thanks, Brian.  I think it needed more depth of field though - the tops of the wings are out of focus.

I forgot about the straight out of camera theme till just now. If I'd remembered I would have taken some different photos instead of birds which I'd usually do more post-processing.  As it was I cropped this one of a  black-shouldered kite.

Fiddled with the in-camera settings of the X100T, set it to jpeg and shot away - I have cropped this slightly as the fixed lens is slightly restrictive.
