Beautiful light in #2 and very nice DOF in #3 of Week 39 Nick.
Critique Nick's (Palouse) 52 week project 2020: WEEK 44
- Thread starter Palouse
- Start date
That calibration of lenses thing is something I never got into, I guess because it is primarily with the more recent Nikon DSLR bodies and lenses? I pretty much stopped buying bodies after the D3 and ditto with lenses. Yes, not having to worry about that with mirrorless bodies is a nice advantage!
WEEK 41
I have 3 days of National Land Trust Association conference (on-line) for the next 3 days, so shooting opportunities may be scarce (and I've already done my obligatory Zoom meeting shot for the current CS). So I'll post a couple from this evening—2 versions of the same shot.
1. As shot.
2. With help from SilverFX Pro.

Very nice -- both versions! That subject is well-suited to B&W conversion! Speaking of Silver Efex Pro, the last couple of times I tried to use it (as a plug-in to DXO PhotoLab 3), the program would open and then immediately crash. I wound up doing something else with the images in question, but haven't yet gotten back to figuring out what might be causing this. Everything else in DXO PhotoLab 3 itself works fine. I haven't tried any of the other programs in Nik Collection 3 to see if they, too, are not cooperating.... I should do that, too. I'm not really familiar with using plug-ins and so am at a loss as to what might be wrong. Possibly I need to try reinstalling the whole works.....?
ETA: my problem with Silver Efex Pro has been resolved (I think).....

Nick, love these. Usually I am drawn to color, but the black and white is my favorite in this instance. Well done!
Thanks Terri. The B&W was done as a reaction of having too many sunset shots of that line of trees. I was amazed at how well the B&W conversion brought out the foreground detail; detail that I hadn't really paid attention to when I was shooting.
It really did. I probably need to repurchase the NIK software.
Silver Efex is great -- I love their choices of presets! I haven't actually explored the rest of the collection yet, but really do like the way Silver Efex handles B&W conversions.
Connie, this may interest you: https://nikcollection.dxo.com/webin...585383557&mc_cid=dcd250c6ca&mc_eid=89e34ee80c
And scroll down for the earlier (recorded) webinars. Some of them are quite good.

Thanks, Nick! I will check that out!
It sure is beautiful in your neck of the woods!
Especially this time of the year! But then, so is SE Idaho!
I’ve got to get out. We’ve had so much company the past two weeks that I haven’t been able to. (I’m not complaining, family time has been great!)
I certainly prefer the B&W Nick, very nice shot.
Thanks Binnur.
WEEK 42
More fall stuff from around the yard
1. Yarrow that took root along the driveway—some blossoms did not get the memo about fall!
2. A gnarly old tree hat anchors one corner of the front yard. It will be sad day when it has to come down—it has so much character.

You are finding some treasures in your yard. I love them both!!
That tree is amazing, filled with texture, shapes and depth..... I can imagine how sad you'll be when one day it does have to come down. Let's hope that this is not for a long time!!!
I like that Yarrow.....I've seen it or something similar around here but never knew what it is called. Weird to have it still blossoming this late into the year!
