Easter Haze
Happy Easter!
Some tech talk:
I always try out new gear on a few familiar subjects - the London 'Boris Bikes' being one of them...
So - for once this is a full-res upload. Feel free to have a look in detail - because there's a lot of it! For those who are interested, the sharpness is as shot, the contrast has been mildly tweaked in Photoshop. Focus point on the rim of the wheel.
I think the sRGB conversion has actually introduced a little banding in the shadows - it's not there in the Adobe RGB file...yet to get a RAW update for my favoured converter, so it's jpg to jpg in this instance.
A note on the new camera - if you're thinking of going for a D800 - in a word - do. It's extraordinary. Not the fastest DSLR, but the quality it's capable of is stunning.
However, you're going to need a lot of storage space and most likely a RAM upgrade in your PC (really not kidding).
Now, back to taking pictures...!
