6 Pics Shot in RAW and PP in Lightroom 5
May 26, 2014 17:25:51 #
Canon: 7D camera, 430EXII Speedlite with 6X8 diffuser, 100mm Macro 2.8L IS
f/18 on first 3 shots and f/16 on last 2 shots
All shot for 1/200 sec. and ISO 200
This is the first time I tried PP a RAW image and then saving as a JPEG. I am very unsure of what adjustments to make in LR5, to be honest.
My husband fixed me an extension arm to use with my speedlite so I could adjust the diffuser down to my lens. I think I like it better than my macro ring light. We'll see as time goes on. Constructive feedback is welcome. I still need a lot of help.
Will post last 3 pics after storm blows over!

Just to let everyone know, I've been trying to post my last 3 pics but can not get them to go through. First error message said I can not edit or add additional pics after an hour passes from time posted. I tried to post a new topic several times and a message comes up saying "This page is not available" or something close to that.
Will try again later.

Susan - These are a big improvement. Notice how much detail you are getting on the fly and there isn't any noticeable noise grain. Processing RAW files takes some time to figure out how to tweak the image to your tastes but it is worth the effort. You will have much more control adjusting the image and be able to correct minor flaws.

Thanks William, I'll just keep experimenting in PP. On the first 3, I had my diffuser off to the left and realize that caused the shadow(s) to the right of subjects. I adjusted it more centered and above the lens and think it helped on this attachment. Will also try pulling down flash filter on speedlight next time. I'm thinking my set-up is pretty good now but my eyes and shakiness is the culprit. Not sure what I'll do about that. May have found my camera's and my own limitations.Susan - These are a big improvement. Notice how much detail you are getting on the fly and there isn't any noticeable noise grain.
