Your R System Images - November 2023

[AOC]

Hi Art,

A stunning set of images, each one brimming with detail, colour and fascination for the viewer - but the eagle owl is just absolutely mind-blowing.

We also would like to give you a big hand for the last image...

Great bird photos, I love kingfishers. And fortunately, the wind didn’t blow over all the glove fingers except one…

Hi Cemal,

Three eye-catching images featuring an absorbing array of vibrant colours and rich textures - a combination of camera and post processing techniques?

Thank you, Phil & Karen. These are mostly done in camera, a combination of ICM and multiple exposures on one frame.

Nice gets. Love the colors and sense of movement you created in camera. I took some similar shots this fall using water reflections but did not use ICM

Thank you, AOC. As Pasteur said, luck favors the prepared mind! These are four exposures combined in the camera by the camera. As it generally yields low contrast and pale images, I had to tweak the tonal structure a little.

Hi David,

A beautifully executed approach and landing - and an equally appealing set of captures.

A wonderful creature, with those backgrounds helping to enhance the already particularly pleasing colours of the plumage. Great eye catch-light too!


Could you clarify what you mean by 'DxO's camera-to-subject calculations'? (I'm not sure what it is you're asking - which may well mean I'm not the right person to answer).

Phil
