Your approach is pretty much what I used to do in ACR... Now, I am in ON1 and prob. overthinking this...
You may be right, but i am always thinking i am missing some secret.
Good discussion. always of interest to me. my steps:
open in acr, white balance, manage whites and blacks, add clarity 10%. open in photoshop, crop to composition, apply topaz denoise (usually auto), image cleanup as necessary (always in layers), final color adjustment either in photoshop or acr, again always as layers. flatten image, save as tiff. if posting on net, resave as appropriate jpg.
will live to hear other approaches.
There is a reason we leave Montana in the winter for Arizona.
Bill already said what you need to hear. And you already have the glass you need for most bird photography. And, in my photography (mainly birds) I have never noticed any rolling shutter that is bothersome. My suggestion would be go for it. Additionally, they are tough and do well in incremental weather. For example, I have a friend who guides for a world renowned international tour group. They were on S. Georgia island in a sever storm photographing the wildlife. A dozen or so “other” cameras failed in the weather. The Sonys survived.
nice whites. so i am struggling understanding white balance and determining a proper white balance, whatever that is. how do you manage white balance?
love it. the intensity of the eyes initially eradicates any issue with the leaves. have you run it thru a noise reduction software?
