That is called a "Silkie". There is a genetic mutation that makes the chickens feathers silkie like that. You either love them or hate them. I myself prefer a chicken with the more natural feathers. Good shot of the birds. The other two look like a Production red and a Blue Australorp.

Thank you for your reply. My Nikon has 4 options Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome. I always used Neutral. I will try this settings tomorrow and probably I will find answer for my question.[quote=MtnMan]Your camera may have an adjustment called something like "Picture Control". That's the Nikon wording. It determines things like the amount of saturation. It isn't the same as adjusting the white balance.

In the Nikon there are some standard choices and also the ability to make adustments to get what you'd like. The basic choices are "Standard", "Vivid", and "Monochrome", as I recall without checking.

Once again if you shoot in RAW you will get what your sensor records and can fuss with this stuff later.

When I started shooting I used to think that close was good and since my job entails PS...I'd just fix everything...including WB and color and even exposure.

I've done that, but since then moved on to the idea that WB, Color and proper exposure are not hard to get right in camera, and in doing so I've noticed that my images look better, the colors are not shifted as they used to be and I'm not spending any time in PS going over hundreds of shots to correct a nasty WB or underexposure and then trying to get the dark/noise out of a shot.

WB in camera for me... :)

If it was, companies like Adobe would not exist. First off, you should only shoot in RAW, so right there, you have to convert and sharpen at a minimum. The human eye has a lot larger dynamic range than and camera, so to get the image to look like what you saw, you need to do selective processing. Even the greatest photographers, whether film or digital, never printed what came out of the camera. Their true abilities showed up in the darkroom.
Thanks. I have the same opinion but some people said that good photographers with good cameras do not need PP .

Yes! It can be done. But it takes lots of trial and error.
I am trying using manual mode, changing exposure but any way I am not satisfied with result that I had.


A pro once told me that it's rare that you should use M mode. You really must know what your doing if your in M mode. It's more common to use Av or aperture priority, when your taking pictures. At least in the beginning.

Hopefully some of the real pro's who know what they are talking about will pick up on this thread and give you more information.

good luck and happy pic'n

I have Nikon d70 and d50. Almost every picture which I took I am editing with Photoshop. Sometimes I can improve my picture very fast sometimes not. My question is 'Is it possible to have perfect picture from camera without editing?"


Really depends on the type of picture and the viewer. One person may love the pictures "as is" another may find an area or two which could be improved. In other words it's very subjective.

I recently took a lot of pictures at parade during our Mardi Gras. I did not find that I needed to do a lot of edited. If any. Street photography is a good expample of the type of pictures you can take with out editing them.(much) for expample:

If the conditions are right and the camera setting are correct then you can have a picture you do not need to edit. Unless you want it a certain size, then you may have to crop, or at least give a ratio of the size you want. Otherwise you most likely will end up with a giangatic picture.
