a none content kind of blog post

So with the best intentions I was intending to blog about my recent shoot photographing a breeding pair of Grebe’s with their young, but with the wonderful weather today, I spend the day weeding the garden, digging over the veg plot, and drinking a fine white wine while enjoying the sun, rather then editing photographs.

So just so you don’t feel to bad if you have been stuck at work all day here are the baby Mute Swans I was also photographing.

Baby Mute Swans in a rowForgive me the edit, its just a straight out camera raw to jpg with a little sharpening and a default tone curve applied.

Camera Raw Updates Adobe Camera RAW 8.5 RC

The version of Adobe Camera RAW is 8.4, that is also what is in the current Adobe Lightroom V5.4.

The release candidate for Camera RAW 8.5 has bean announced and one thing that did catch my eye was a comment about the Fuji X-T1.

Fixed issue with Fujifilm X-T1 raw images appearing too bright at high ISO settings when using Dynamic Range 200% and 400%. Unfortunately, this fix may affect the appearance of existing images captured with this combination of settings. It is recommended that you (1) purge the Camera Raw cache via the Camera Raw Preferences dialog, and (2) review images shot at ISO settings higher than 1600 for unexpected brightness changes.

So when it’s released watch out if you have any images shot at high ISO and are using the Dynamic Range Options.

Picking a Photo of the Month

enjoying the sunenjoying the sun-2This months picture of the month is from another set I took around Lincoln Cathedral.  There were four images which I though were good candidates; two where very much like previous Photo of the Month’s so I dismissed those which left me with these two.

The top shot was taken at f/8 while the bottom at f/4.  I was after bringing the attention to the flowers so defocusing the background but still giving the view the chance to see what the background was.
