Tony,

O -- for Spring again in the North. Beautiful and a great perspecive.

Thank you all for your comments. This was shot with Fuji S5. The interesting thing was I tried processing it first in Adobe camera raw but could not maintain good color detail in the sunlight petals, so I reprocessed the Raw file in the Fuji software. As a comparison here is the file processed in ACR. Just as a matter of interest.
Rich we are just moving into Spring, the Magpies are just starting to swoop, they always get a little angsty in mating season.

Love the unique perspective and the vibrance of colors!

Interesting you mentioned the Adobe Raw processing, I too have some "beef" with it sometimes. For Nikon D200 I have to go under the camera setting tab, and select the camera setting I shot at from the drop down box, otherwise as you said, color rendering is very different. For Pentax, I have to save files in Pentax software in TIFF first to maintain the colors and overall tones.

Regards,
D

I agree, the colors are wonderful, nice perspective.

Thank you Otto. Thanks D. D I have a set of settings that I wrote for the D200 that plugin to ACR that sorta simulate the Fuji Film settings on the S5. From Portrait to Velvia. I have always used the Fuji's & Nikons together and have always preferred the fuji colors. If you would like to try them send me a private message with your email & I will beam them over. That goes to anyone else with a D200 and ACR. These were written for CS3 but I'm sure they would work on latter CS's and Lightroom.tony

Lovely Tony. I think I can see the color differences....sort of.....maybe....
