Show us your best with an S90

I will repeat what someone else asked, What did you do to get the look in the background of the flower shot? That daisy(?) in particular has an other worldly look.

f/2 and get it as close as possible. So macro focusing mode.

thanks! But I use a D700...

It does HDR too! This was three exposures handheld



Fill flash works well also

[MtClimber]

two very impressive images, bilposter-

The HDR was excellent and the fill flash sunset was unique. Thanks for posting.

Awesome shots.

bilposter - Great shots! Care to share you hdr method?

[bilposter]

Sure!.. ISO 80,AV set at F/3.5. Auto bracketing,0,-2,+2 shot in RAW. Three RAW exposures straight into Photomatix and then the fun begins! I tend to use low strength tonemapping around 40ish and work with the other settings to try and get some realism. save as 16bit Tiff and then finish off with some curves maybe selective colours and USM in CS3.

Protip: (LOL who am I kidding?)

Don't export to web in Photoshop. Set to 16bit in the Adjustments menu which will allow you to 'Save as' to JPG with EXIF intact (Normally you don't get JPG as an option when using 'Save as' editing RAW, DNG. TIFF etc if they are 24/32bit).

Hope this helps.

Love your HDR shots, bilposter! I've been looking for an HDR program and Photomatix sounds like a good one. It's great that it already accepts RAW files from the S90!!

I went to the website for hdrsoft.com and checked the compatibility list. The G11 is listed, but not the S90. This would appear to indicate that G11 compatibility = S90 compatibility. I assume that this would hold true for other software as well. Might make it easier for us to search out compatible image processing programs.

Anybody disagree?

Each RAW CR2 for each camera has it's own settings. I would guess that the G11 and S90 are slightly different because of their various lens characteristics. So I would not be 100% sure they are the same. That being said I have imported into Photomatix no problem. It won't correct the barrel distortion or discoloration though AFAIK. My advice would be to either wait until ACR 5.6 and Lightroom 2.6 are out (Or use the pre-release versions) then export the shots to TIFF and import into Photomatix in order to address those issues.

Certainly. Assuming anything is dangerous, but doubly so with software from different manufacturers.
