Not too exciting , but I liked the colours and the framing/composition on this one

Man, I love the colour reproduction you get out of the D50. Excellent stuff. Your right the subject isn't the most exciting but I dig the saturated colours. What colour mode do you shoot in ?

I always shoot in sRGB mode IIIa, with enhanced colour turned on.

I leave tone and sharpness set to Auto or Normal.

I also generally set an exposure bias of -0.3 or -0.7, helps keep the tone nice and saturated.

The D50 has a slight tendency to overexpose (opposite and more aggressive than the D70s).

I've shot with a D70 and pretty got the same result out of it using the above settings. You may wish to load a more aggressive tone cuve into the D70 as it seems much less contrasty than the D50

I have to agree, beautiful colour saturation.

Was this straight from the cam???

Thanks for sharing

Straight from the cam - I notice I did use hard contrast mode on this one. So this is a jpg straight from the D50

It just means you basically won't have to curve or change the levels via PP

Hmm. Doesn't really do anything for me, I'm afraid.

Well it wasn't the most exciting picture, just thought people would like the colour.

But hey I know it wasn't IR or a grainy out-of-focus steet shot

Cheers

I really love the colours in this, those greens are awesome.
Sorry but what lens was it with?
Thanks
