Woohoo for you Mickey, great way to skin the Batis.
Images all look very sharp, great color and contrast.
The price is ever so sweet too.

Thank you very much!

BTW, I'm setting up a bird feeder this week--I'm not good enough to catch them in trees behind my house yet! LOL

Be careful Mickey! We usually have 10-12 feeders and three blinds up at the house in the city,
two up at the cabin...it can get addictive ;)

What luminance value or brightness are you guys calibrating your monitors? I think I had mine set to 100. I think that's why my images may appear brighter on your displays since I wasn't pushing the blacks far enough.

Wifey is gone. She just started with the feeders. We have love birds now. In the late 70s a group of them got loose now Phoenix has wild love birds........... I pray I dont forget

I got a spyder Pro took me way down to like 64% on brightness I always want to crank it

Right or wrong, the one monitor I always check is my iPad. There are no controls over the picture (except dimness), so I regard it as a sort of reference monitor for how the general public would see my work. So many times I've uploaded to flickr only to have to do a quick processing revision because the image didn't quite look the way I envisioned when viewed on my iPad.

But, yes, I find the monitor luminance value along with the Photoshop interface/background tone strongly influences how I process.

I have my brightness at 33 and contrast at 75. I do keep my computer room dark though, dark enough that I'm glad my keyboard is backlit.

Excellent shots of your daughter there, Carlo. The PP you're putting on these is fantastic. I am always so envious of you guys with the good PP skills. hehe.

I haven't posted anything lately since I haven't shot much.

From a couple of weeks ago. Big waves down at the beach.

THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

(Gotta add. Not at all happy with the WB coming from the Sony these days. Not sure why, but I feel like it's been fighting me. I got some great shots the very next day with the 6D).

Sony A7RII and a bunch of lenses.

Thank you. I know what you mean. Cranking up the brightness isn't good on the eyes or for editing your photos.

Yep I do the same on my iPhone. I need to experiment some more with my PS background color. Thank you.

Thanks Gene. I'm going to try brightness of 30 on my Dell monitor and recalibrate to see what the luminance value is. It had been 80 whatever the unit of measure is (candles/m^2) I think. Will see if it goes up to 100 or 110.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it Mickey! So much easier than BIF!
The feeders allowed me to get a portrait of this handsome fellow with my old A7R + FD 300 2.8L. (Heavily cropped.)

That's very kind of you MM. All done with the 6d and Joe Dyer's SplashArt, which I believe you are familiar with. Haven't done anything with the A7Rii as yet, but may have to dig the kit out, and give it a trial. You never know - liquid drop collisions may come back into fashion. :lol:

Do you still have your SplashArt?
