:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL: Those Cardinal fans were taking the game seriously!On the way back, on Sunday, my father and I were in some small bar in AZ when he loudly asked if anyone else had bet on Pitts. to win. I didn't think we'd get out of there alive after the owner told him that we would be allowed to eat only so someone would be around after the game to beat up.
Steve - Your HDR of petrified forest actually looks great - what software are you using and what settings?Hi Cindy,
Thanks for your comments. As the initial notice said, this workshop was about taking pictures and I have 9 gigs of photos to go thru!
Eleanor,
Guy is correct. I'm using an M8 with C1 Pro. I still have a bit to learn about the best way to handle file organization with C1, as it creates a folder in every folder (not as bad as an infinite regression, but I have to watch where the processed files land). I really like the color from C1, though, and I think re-learning the workflow is worth it.
I posted the petrified forest photo more as an example what didn't work for me. The dynamic range was high, so I shot an HDR and I don't really like it here. It looks better on my screen than it does on the web, but still not right. In Chinle, there were issues with color shifts in the snow that I couldn't correct for easily: white in the sun, quite blue in the shade. There are exceptions (one of Guy's early posts has an HDR of mine of the river looping thru the canyons that I liked), but C1 alone seems to handle any of the shots with significant snow or cloud movement much better than the HDR software.
Thanks, steve
