u probably know this already too - with regards to raw & JPG, it seems many landscape shooters prefer to blow out the pic so the red channel in RGB histogram is hard up against the right hand side and clipping slightly, and this seems to retain the colours and detail in shaded areas better with less noise when lightened, and most of what looks blown out can be recovered providing it's shot in raw and if the blue and green aren't clipped as well


On Nikons it's called "Landscape" mode (on the dial).
(Worth a shot eh? )


+ u can fix your white balance, but not so recoverable if shot in JPG + you're pretty much stuck with whatever the cam picked for white balance

Good point.


5dmk2 now has rgb histogram like 40d - yay, old one didn't

Nikon photoghapher comeback: I don't know, I'm too worried about the subject.

Shall we move this to the 'General' forum? Hey, I make it sound sexy. Hey actually, this topic (photos) could be made a whole forum section. Like Photos is a whole link up above? Hey Laurie? Anybody? Just an idea? Let's move it to general first?

Here's my flickr 21 random:
flickr.com/photos/michaelnitschke/sets/72157602081158944/show/

(I forget how I did that, changes everyday, something to do with Yahoo! pipes last year)

yes, canon has a landscape mode also. my wife uses it.....

I wanted to really experience photography and decided to start using customizable colour matrix settings. of course a punch in the head would probably feel better.

nice pics panda! beautifull scenery.

i too say vote 1 for a photogrpahy section!
