They can help on old cheap lenses or cctv type cameras. <br />Never dared go down the IR road myself. May be one day. I'll think about colour popping the flowers tomorrow.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-18424271339217233512014-05-14T17:52:24.369+01:002014-05-14T17:52:24.369+01:00PS.

Success rate on a hundred shots of people in a Cafe was 30%. For a numpty like me that was acceptable. I eventually edited down to three. One of the dozen models models didn't look their best in the other twenty five. I love using multiple strobes.

I have to make do with altering Hue and saturation.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-53168629736121161372014-05-14T17:40:20.580+01:002014-05-14T17:40:20.580+01:00Can you glue an IV filter to it.I've stopped u...Can you glue an IV filter to it.I've stopped using them but they do improve both clarity and colour on bad lenses.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-13856114929148046492014-05-14T17:23:12.769+01:002014-05-14T17:23:12.769+01:00TWG: If only they would stay silent for a while.

It's not really an outdoor camera and I think it gets overloaded in such situations. Things look more normal when the table is in shade.<br />The other problem is trying to adjust the DVR colour controls and the Mac recording software. I'll just have to find a stuffed bird, at least it will stay in one place long enough ;)Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-80147100118514951792014-05-14T17:14:53.300+01:002014-05-14T17:14:53.300+01:00The Starling video is great. they are one of my fa...The Starling video is great. they are one of my favourite birds.<br /><br />The first video doesn't seem to have the colour balance right. I know the blow out is beyond your control. It's a bit garish. I have a posh monitor, Spyder calibrated when I remember. The picture editors in Sheffield gave it to me for Christmas two years ago. They calibrate every day after wandering in, sorting a coffee, switching on, allowing an hours warm up, drawing the blinds, going for a piss, getting another coffee and settling down to work. No wonder editing is expensive.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-65568284239594161032014-05-14T16:59:55.902+01:002014-05-14T16:59:55.902+01:00very cool starling video. they're such pretty ...very cool starling video. they're such pretty birds.TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.com
