20100328 - A Whole Lot of Bleatin'

Decided to go for a wander this afternoon - it's very noisy out there! Bleat bleat bleat :o)

Decided to have a go at the 'shoot-to-the-right' technique today. The idea is to set the camera to neutral picture style and minus-4 contrast - then the in-camera jpeg gets rendered much flatter than normal so you know that if the blinky bits start blinking, you really have hit the top end rather than the usual where you're actually nowhere near. You then up the contrast and drop the exposure in processing later on.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM
1/1000s f/2.8 at 135.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

If only that little lamb knew, what was going into this shot, it might look a tad more impressed.
Nice one, Phil.

So cute. I know I risk noise, but I tend to expose for the highlights and the result is that I am often well left.

No idea what you mean but its made a great dreamy effect

It's surely Spring! Cute little lambs.
(but do I have a neutral picture style in my 350D? ) :)

Spinr has sprung if the lambs are out. Cute.
