Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 7m 5d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 18/06/12 06:51 AM Share Posted 18/06/12 06:51 AM It was pretty cool adjusting the settings and turning a rather drab forest landscape into some really stunning colours. However alot of the photos seemed to look great on the little screen of the camera.. But when amplified on the computer I gotta admit I was dissappointed.. The computer doesn't really seem to show off the colour as much as the camera's little screen does..So I'm down to two things.. 1) It's a sh*thouse dull display on a dodgey laptop I uploaded the photos to and I should upload them to something with a better screen. OR 2) I really didn't take half as good a picture as I thought I did.Does anyone notice much difference in colours etc when they get their photos printed compared to looking at them on a computer screen?I'd say your computer screen is the problem and/or the software you're using to view them.I've got a wide gamut IPS panel monitor that gets calibrated every month to ensure consistent colour.The software you use, including your internet browser can do funky things to colours also.Are you shooting JPG files? Which colour space do you have it set to... sRGB or Adobe RGB? I'd suggest sRGB if you want your screen to match the camera better.Printing is a whole other ball game. You can see colour shift there too. What you WILL see on prints is that they appear darker than the photos did on screen. That's because monitors are back lit. Test printing can get around that though.I wouldn't suggest HDR for landscape as a rule, but there's certainly a place for it. Understanding what HDR is really achieving will show you why it can be of benefit and it's got nothing to do with that terrible over cooked look you'll see on a lot of shots.I'm not really a manual shooter myself. I'm happy to trust the camera's meter most of the time. Again, there's times where it's called for, but don't get caught up thinking manual is the holy grail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mainly playing with F and shutter speed.. But definitely need a tripod before I get too carried away with shutter speed.. I'm gonna take the work car out one night and have a crack at some night shots on cars.. Just to see how it goes.. Do you use a flash for cars Adam? Looking at a canon speed lite 600 just because the camera flash is sh*te.Also uploaded some photos to my work PC.. Helluva lot better to look at.. It's running 3 HDMI monitors.. Definitely alot better colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need the YN-460II.Supported models list is at the bottom of this page...http://www.yongnuostore.com/topic-yongnuo-flash-for-canon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
