Anyway, seems the AWB is pretty hit & miss. Under a tungsten light bulb, the AWB was orange, under tungsten setting it was deep yellow. Yet the window was blue. Hmmm.
Alos experimented with the user settings for sharpness, contast & saturatiuon.
Checking into noise present at iso 50/100/400. Then turned the noise redcuion to ON to compare.
Long write times to accomodte that matching black exposure.
THen waided through the looks unique to each to try some experimenting,leave the Sharpmness at default.
'Setting 1 is defalut Sharpness, added contrat & adedd Sautatuom.
Setting 2 is Defauldt Sharpnsses, add one saturation, one on contrat,
Set 3 is Default Sharpmness, add two contrast and add two saturation.
Find some subjects,,maybe female police officers to test these new looks.
Which cop looks saucier, the hi contrast saturated cop taken at set 3, or the saucy set two.
What fumn...hope the cops are sacucy enouhg to not mind lookng saucy for photo test geeks
They even got these liquidypaper looking motiors to match the liquidy bumpy blue greay worn key board under my crocodylian fingers/toes.
Should be called LIQUID FORUMS
After attempting to read this before bedtime, I realized I'd just taken my AMBIEN, got sidtracked by the computer before i got to the bedroom..KInda strange typing on liquid paper moniors with blue/grey mottled kepbards & gnarly old crckdyle hands...
Wonder If I'll be able to make senese oout of this after 10 hours sleep? Maybe the pages will stop floating by tomorrow morning.
Hi Daviddhphoto said:Have you ever considered scanning your post before you submit it?
Have you ever read the manual and considered using RAW, or at least a custom white balance?
Nicolas Claris said:Hi David
Despite English is not my mother's language, I'm with Don L on this one!
If you look at Don Shreve's web site, you'll see that he's a real pro photog, he may be had too much work and needed a real rest or cool down his AMBIEN consumption...
Or may be just a fun piece of this famous British humor (humour?)
Good to have some laughs sometimes
All the best
PS and that suggestion of "Liquid Forum" is an idea I like, some place where could share some fun (but legal!) experiences...
Like this one on Jan luursema website http://www.janluursema.nl/pics/portfolio/animal/CRW_9504.htm
Will talk about it with Asher when he'll be back...

Guess I'll just skip this one then
Don Shreve said:BTW, I read the manual thoroughly, I shoot exclusivly RAW, and I routinely use custom white balance. I've shot Canon for 30 years, and I do believe I know what I'm doing & how to deal with blended light sources. I was merely testing the camera to see what it was capable of.
Again, my apologies for the embarrasing post.
Don Shreve said:OK. On the color temp. observations, I'm surprised that AWB & tungsten aren't that different, and both are incorrect. Obviously the way to correct for yellow is to add blue. OR to get blue, subtract yellow. SO, if the room was still yellow, why did the outside light turn blue?
Don Shreve said:My apologies for blending in more than you wanted to know about my personal life....I think I'll go hide for a while.
