These houses are nicknamed the dancing houses, the tilting is apparently caused by rotten wooden piles!

same thing of the other pic, I have the feeling your color temperature settings are off. Quick and dirty correction applied here too.

Milandro thanks, I checked colour temp and found it was set to 10000 K!

So I’ve reset it to 5600 K

What tweak did you do if you don’t mind telling me?

I did think they were a bit blue, but put it down to the ambient conditions!

The forum appears to have swallowed my answer after the migration that seems to have been performed  (I preferred the older look).

 

Anyway.

Happy to have been of service to you. 😃

I didn’t do anything really special but I've just opened your pictures with the NIK suite color efex, then performed a removing color cast and adding after that a white neutralizer , then gave a manual color correction with pixelmator (can be done with many different features of this or any other program).

 

I have to say that I was rather convinced this was a mistaken setting otherwise I wouldn’t normally suggest a different “ interpretation”. 

 

My experience with these things is that they are rather sensitive.

 

I sometimes see pictures posted with a clear superabundant color or sharpening that produces such visible artifacts and noise that should be hyper evident to the poster, wom apparently is not only unaware of his exaggerated correction but  cannot even see what he has done.

I have also seen people being rebuffed for daring to suggest that said excessive corrections are less than desirable so I won’t do that.

      Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
