Yes if I remember correctly that’s what the instructions say. You can go to their website there is good information there and customer service is good.

Not sure if anyone has had this issue or not and I couldn't find it with a quick search, but, for anyone shooting Canon mirrorless and is thinking about the Lensbaby 56mm Velvet, I got my Canon RF mount Lensbaby 56mm Velvet in today and it would not work on my mirrorless camera at all. However, I did figure out a way to work around it. Since the lens is totally manual and the camera does not recognize it, you can go into the camera menu and allow your camera to release the shutter with no lens attached and then it will work.

I had forgotten about this site but so glad it popped up in my search regarding switching from my M series to possibly a Fuji. Anxious to seeing the continuing comments.

Like CHG CANON, I cleared up the edges of the tree to the left, and while I didn't crop the right side, I blended in a bit of the border to remove a white sliver, using Content Aware blending. I actually started out by using PS CC 2020's Camera Raw filter, and moved the Highlights Filter to the left (darkening the snow) and the Shadow/Black sliders to the right, to bring in more detail from the trees. I then used the Dodge Tool to brighten up the snowfield considerably, bringing it closer to the tone of the path. I used Topaz Adjust to spread out the tone patterns in the snow and trees so as to differentiate the details, then used Stroke to add a 2pixel "frame" around the edge of the image.

Thank you for giving us access to your image.

Thanks! The more I looked the more I can see where I was a bit aggressive when i originally "Dodged" the path.

I appreciate the feedback, thanks!

I upped the contrast, upped the brightness, lowered the highlights and as you can see, cropped it vertically. The path tends to make this image more vertical in composition rather than horizontal for me. Also I found the tree framing on the left side being out of focus being a distraction.


I originally looked at this in portrait orientation also but I just wasn't keen on the way the cabin became more prominent. I really do appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

When taking snow pictures, your metering system gets confused with the pure white and as you can see it turns the snow grey. If you were taking a picture of a black horse, your metering system would turn that horse grey. So you have to think like your camera. When it see's snow it says this very bright and I will see it to see it as 18 percent grey and tell you to shutdown the aperture by 2 stops typical. So you need to tell your camera to give you plus exposure to make the snow white. Each camera is different as to how you tell it more Aperature.

No need too struggle. It is mind over meter.

rydababyk,

May I try my hand at this too? It's "old school" but polite to ask an OP for permission to work on a photo.

Bob Yankle sends ..... Keep smiling!

Of course, and thanks for asking.

Here you go. I also cleaned some white specs / distractions in the tree on the left and cropped just a bit from the right, with the goal of removing anything that takes my eye away from the trees and cabin along the trail. Open and view full-screen as the embedded thumbnails have changed recently at UHH. This version is resized just for sharing. If you want a full-sized file, confirm, and I can send via PM.


Thanks so much, I appreciate the comments. I should have caught those pesky snowflakes on the tree (I need to be more aware of edge control sometimes) and I liked the subtle re-crop.

A great scene in the woods. To your question, try three changes:

Make the image a bit brighter overall.
Make the contrast greater, with the whites a bit whiter and the blacks a bit blacker.

If you'd like, confirm if you'd me to post an example of these minor changes.


Go for it! And thanks!

Took a hike on a snowy day in Western Pennsylvania and took this photo. I struggle with black and white and I'm looking for CC, thanks.

I got my new iFootage Gazelle tripod in the other day and I'm impressed. The leveling head is really easy to use and it appears to be super sturdy. We'll see since I'm going to a few historically windy places (Dolly Sods being one) in the next few weeks. Best part was that it really wasn't all that expensive, $219 direct from iFootage with free shipping.

I am currently comfortable with Lightroom but thinking about potential problems in the future. Perhaps I should worry about the future in the future.
