I took a ride up into the high country today for some photography and hiking. Spring is here at last. The grass is green, the wildflowers are blooming an the wildlife are feeling their oats.
Here are a couple of shots from today's hike. Taken with a Nikon D600, 105mm F2.5 AI lens and a E-Series 28mm F2.8 lens.

I did have landscape selected, but I shot these in RAW. I post processed through Capture NX2. I sharpened via High Pass filter. Then I brought the blacks up slightly using the D-Lighting. I then added a little contrast.
That was it. The colors are accurate to the location. The greens were very green and the new growth on the aspens were almost day-glo bright. |

Beautiful scenery, well captured.
I am a little surprised at the ISO used, 1250 for the second one  is that not a little bit high for a bright, sunny day?
I'm not being negative, just wondering why.

Until i adjusted my monitor it was a setting that i didn t like, it s the opposite now, it s a very recognizable setting for a Nikon user that i use a lot now.

The elk were roughly 100 feet away and I wanted to get a very large depth of field, so I was using f/16 and hyperfocusing. I was also using a 3 stop soft grad ND filter and a linear polarizer, so that cut down on the light coming in.
On the first shot I had auto ISO set and set my minimum shutter to 1/80, which for a 105mm lens is a little slow. When the elk started boxing, I reset to a higher shutter speed to make sure that I wouldn't get any blurry images.
Anything under f/16 wasn't hyperfocusing correctly with the 105mm (either the elk or the mountains were a little blurry at 100%).

Simply stunning colour photography! All are lovely to see and No 1 made me smile: A fight going on and a passer-by looking but not getting involved. Just like Newcastle on a Saturday night.
