It is happening to all off us. We walk around a little to excited and we forget to change the settings from our camera. Leaving you with a setting that is not working and when you don't check images like I do, then you see at home what you made. I put my K-01 on M-mode, where I usually take it on TAv-mode and let the camera take controll off the iso-settings for the scenery. This was before a soccermatch in Eindhoven from the lady's off PSV/FCE. Just the warming up, so notting lost in real life. I don't do the warming-up on all games (went to all 14 games) and sometimes only do just one team to spread my workflow a little.
The K-01 with the FA31mm lens:
Settings: M-mode, f4,0 1/320th and iso250, AWB and color set to portrait in RAW.
Just added the logo and a little sharpening.
Now that I'm busy with my upcoming photo exhibition I'm looking for certain images So I only done the warming up just a few times and I'm also looking for certain players in the scene. I kept this one, just in case I wanted to play with it.
In LightRoom 4 I did the whole chabang to make it a worthwhile image and see if I can make it into an A3 print for my exhibition.
So, what did I do (not all in this same order):
- An A3 cut-out for printing.
- Set light to +3,6 EV.
- Save highlights on +10.
- Filllight on +15.
- Black tones to +2 (so that is -3).
- Contrast to +75.
- Settings to black and white.
- I didn't do anything to the black and white settings, but a little pushing there could make shadows very different.
- Noise reduction Luminance to 15 (just a little, it is a clean plate and I don't want to smear it).
- Sharpening to 50.
- Lenscorrection profile set ON.
- I made a brush with +0,50 EV and made the girl from the back a little brighter.
- I made a brush with +0,50 EV and +20 on sharpening and painted the coach.
- Made a print on A3 and it looks great.
- Maybe I forgot some little thing, but can't be very important.
- I run Lightroom in Dutch, so some naming may vary then my translation.
From this one I have an A3 print that needs to go in a passe-partout and a frame:
It is a pretty camera the Pentax K-01!
