[ipin]

Yeps, very likely so... :sweat: I think I'll stick to RAW :sweat:

I think we all think so too. A FAR cheaper alternative! :bsmilie:

Too expensive man, and I haven't even started photography course. Where's a good place to look for courses that's cheap and good?

Cool, didn't there were such a gadget to measure color temp.

color temp is in kelvin or K.

this no. is determine as follow:

a black piece of carbon is heated up. At 3200k, the carbon becomes orangy red ( the warm we talk about), continue to increase the burning temp the carbon will become white when the temp reaches about 5500k. keep increasing the temperature and it will become blue ( our term cool)

thats how they colour temp is determine in theory or standard.

totally agree. thats wat i do now..leave it at normal. sent many for prints and realised vivid is better. portraits in prints looks rather unsharp..even for protraits is a bit too soft. vivid gives more like s2 kinda colours. but rather inconsistent though. sometimes the face really red...to be fair s2 also la...

use to shoot provia 100 and the colour is definitely not like in the portrait mode.

yeah. i had a few disasters shooting in Vivid mode when shooting my son. sometimes it works, most of the time :mad2: ... for some reason, both my D50 and D200 exhibit the same schizophrenic behaviour when shooting on Vivid mode. :dunno:

did u have to softproof ur prints? after a couple of wash-out/too sat prints, i finally downloaded Miao Laan's ICC profile and do final PP in CS2 to match their printer/paper profile.

Or should it be that you heat the object , the temp increases to 5500K from 3200K, but DECREASE the temp to a cool temp? How does heating a hot carbon further to become cool? :think:

Heehee... should just leave the PP to after shooting lah, then won't have such headaches of colour proofing liao

look at flames, when you increase the temo of the fire, it actually goes from blue to red to white, the latter beng the hottest.

when you shoot 40 over classes of students, you wont wanna do post precessing.

sorry if that i often you. i do mean it when i said about ' i am newbie i wan to learn from you you better blah blah thingy...'

i mentioned it before it happens cos i tend to think prevention is better than cure.

that part i don understand too. fire is red-white-blue or red blue white?

anyway thats what i learnt from readings...let me go find the text again and make corrections if any.

 

[ipin]

you are right!!! pardon me. its blue then white.....i typed wrongly. thanks man!

Ahhhhh, for a moment there, I blur! :what: :bsmilie:
:thumbsup: Thanks! To cool is lower kelvins and hot is higher kelvins
BTW, Sun / high noon is approx what temperature? I normall set my WB to daylight when I'm out in the open shooting ard high noon. :sweat:

don wanna cofuse things

3200 is warm light- orangy red

5500 is white light- white

6000 above is cool light- blue.

this is like the aperture thingy, works opposite...2.8 means bigger and 16 means smaller??

think i am guilty for OT liao. lets get back to origin topics. anyone else can share settings? thanks
