 |
|
It was a very drab dull today, not really suitable for photography so I thought I'd try out my new D300. The following pictures were all taken at ISO 1600 due to the very bad lighting conditions. From these results under the conditions today, I'm very pleased.

Steve, I started out with straight camera settings and then I altered the colour settings. I set the camera at "Vivid" and pushed the saturation level two bars to the right. I'd had a look on Ken Rocwell's site and used some of his settings.
All the pictures are from the cameras jpegs and I only altered the leves slider in Photoshop and added just a touch of smart sharpening.
