Espoonkartano - Nikon ja Canon

Sorry for the English.

This location has always been my favorite for deep rich colors.  So I decided to return there yesterday and see how well I can pull out the colors with my Canon like I did with my Nikons.  So yes, some of these have richer pops and others are more subtle - it was fun exploring.

By way of comparison, here is my Nikon color from last year.  This was with the D50 - which was just amazing with color. It was also just after a rain, so the colors will be deeper than those I took yesterday on a dry day.



Canon 30D
85mm 1.8

1. F/1.8 ISO 640 SS 320


2. F/1.8 ISO 200 SS 80


3. F/1.8 ISO 640 SS 320


4.  F/1.8 ISO 640 SS 125


5.  F/1.8 ISO 200 SS 125


6. F/2.8 ISO 200 SS 100  This was a luminosity pop. 


7.  F/2.8 ISO 800 SS 125  It was *dark* in this area! 


8. F/2.8 ISO 200 SS 200 


9. F/2.8 ISO 160 SS 200


10. F/2.8 ISO 200 SS 400 Might have made this too red



And without deeper color pops:

11s  F/1.8 ISO 200 SS 800 Love how the sun is setting here so giving directional light behind her


13. F/1.8 ISO 200 SS 125 I shrunk her for this picture


14.  F/2.8 ISO 200 SS 60  A BW for the mix - same spot as the first picture in this post


15.  F/2.8 ISO 200 SS 125  Is the shaft of light distracting?


And some photo manipulations from the shoot:


from this image:

This was about an hour's worth of work and still needs refining, though. Especially the skirt extension, which was a last minute afterthought before going to sleep.



These are posted on flickr and so are watermarked. I do know some find them annoying but I need to do what I feel is best to protect the images.

 

Vs: Espoonkartano - Nikon ja Canon

Thanks!  I do miss the rich Nikon tones but the Canon 30D has really exceeded my expectations for skin tones.  I only wish it didn't throw color casts around everywhere.  I spend most of my time fixing strange tints and tones in the raw processor (and I even have a WB and exposure card).

I just love the dreamy skin tones
