Oakland Lake, Full size S9000 images for printing

nickphoto123

Hello All,

I tried some nature shots with my new S9000.

I posted them as full size ( 8 1/2" x 11" 300 dpi, Jpeg, level 8) as you may want to print one to see what the S9000's color, resolution, PF, etc., looks like in print.

Shot in Raw, converted to 50mb Tiff. resized to 8 1/2 x 11 3000 dpi.
In PS CS, Auti Color, Auto Levels, Shadow Highlight to bring out the shadows a bit more.
Very slight sharpening with Focus Magic.

#3 was at 300 mm, with flash on. Image is a +50% crop of original.

#2's fisherman was quickly touched to render the fisherman as un-identifiable.

#4 was shot wth the 10 second self-timer with my camera held way over my head on my tripod with one leg and the column fully extended ( about 8' over my head.) I used the tilt LCD to make sure the water was level, and took a few shots until I liked my composition.

This type of shooting is alot of fun as long as you don't drop your tripod.

I hope you find these images interesting and of value in your evaluating the S9000:

I wish I could have seen that !!

Nick the link timed out on me, is it correct?

Edited: I just tried again and it works fine! Nice shots

Nice shots
Though the choice of the bright frames detracts from the color in the pictures themselves. The more subdued frame on the turtle shot works nicely. Here are examples using your images with frames to compliment the colors in the pics and help set them out:

Thanks for your commemts. Frames are very subjective.

I find the darker frames bring out the shadows too much for my liking.

Their brightness level does affect the overall image.

Thanks for the tip, of which I will make a double check on my images from now on.
