    2020 Project 52 by Antonio Correia - 3rd Quarter

    After a while without any photographs (shame on me) I start this thread for the 3rd quarter.

    July 6 - July 12

    It really is a shame that I have done one photograph for so long now... I do not go out often but that is no excuse as one may find many other motives if feeling like to.

    Today I went out as the weather is great and even a bit hot. High temperatures are expected this week...
    Herewith I photograph from the old town.

    Thank you Geoff !
    Cheers !

    I made this photo duplicating the layers of one raw file and using masks so I could use it as background in the Zoom meetings.
    It works nicely !

    Let me say something about one photograph to begin with.
    The f/1.8 was intentional. I had just shot another photograph in another location which was a none interest and I erased it as soon as I imported it.
    I made an exposure compensation as I was afraid of the white areas of the motorcycle while viewing through the EVF.
    In fact that was the reason why I shot this ! To get the best result under a photograph with a little more difficulty as usual.
    In location and at the moment I could't remember to turn the zebras warning on. Silly me !
    This is the original RAW file with just the Lens Corrections in LR

    Antonio, did you mean "f/1.8 was not intentional"?

    What worked against you in this shot was mainly the choice of 'matrix' exposure metering. It might have been more effective to spot-meter those white parts and then decide how much EC to apply in order to get their desired brightness in the output image.

    Or, spot-meter those shaded cobblestones at lower left and take a chance with no EC at all.

    I am not a great lover of letting the camera do anything automatically ...

    Thank you Bill for your comment !

    Ted, I wanted really to use the f/1.8
    I am a lover of letting the camera decide many things for me. However, I always choose the point of focus and most of the times I do use the "matrix" exposure metering.

    I do have customized a button for the spot metering which follows the focus point. I agree with you that the way you describe would have been a good or better option.

    Much appreciated your comment ! Thank you !

    Thanks Antonio. Pardon me for not being sure. Quite acceptable for shooting at that distance, I imagine.

    Went to the doctor today... so far so good !

    How do you like this ? What kind of processing should I have done or shall I do ?
    The photo is to be printed and offered to the model in A5. I will print it myself

    Hard times. The vaccine already existing, is far away from the common mortal and C19 is just around us all...

    Excellent; yet i would like to clone wipe out the distant opuntia on the right side, which makes a visual continuation with the main one.

    Re: July 27 - August 2

    Thank you Nandakumar for your excellent comment and pointing that obvious issue.
    You are absolutely right.
    I have seen myself when working on the photo and I thought it would be rather difficult to clone the area without noticing it
    I was lazy not even trying it !
    In location I searched for the right angle all the other captures being worst than this one !
    Cheers ! Take care !
    But... here is a better version ! Not perfect, I know

    it looks even better now; from where did you take the last image? I like that very much
