White balance set at 2500 degrees Kelvin, Monochrome Picture Control, tone: purple-blue.Please note the story you’re reading was published more than a day ago. "In this case I needed some help to bring that image out.
"I've always believed that there's an image to be made in every scene," Mike sums up. All told, Mike's ten-minute trip to the workshop took an hour and a half. His last step is to take advantage of the D750's built-in Wi-Fi® and immediately transfer the photo to his tablet and send it off to the guys who didn't miss breakfast. "I'd seen those tone settings for years on my cameras and never thought I'd use them," Mike says, "but on this morning they're exactly what I need to create the graphic look I want-something engaging and dramatic something worth missing breakfast for." Because he has all his cameras set to instantly playback on their LCDs the images he's captured-or, in this case, created-he knew he had what he wanted. "I'm still in 'make something out of not much' mode, and I'm thinking that if this is still a monochromatic situation-and it is-let me go really far out."įirst he sets toning in the monochromatic mode of his D750's Picture Controls, then chooses a purple-blue from the colors offered then he fine tunes that color from a subset of tone choices. "I set 2500 degrees Kelvin for my white balance, thinking a cool tone will give me a cooler shot-not what I'm actually seeing, but maybe closer to what I wanted to see." His first attempt gives him a tone that's very much like an old-time Cyanotype.
Nice, moody.but not up to my expectations." Mike's previsualized an image that isn't going to happen. "When the sun comes up I shoot a few backlit black-and-white images. The sun is going to take its time rising, and then there'll be all sorts of changes in the light and variations of light patterns."īut as he waits he realizes that with this much cloud and mist, there isn't going to be a lot of color in the scene. I text the others: 'Sorry, guys, count me out for breakfast.' I'd seen mist and clouds on other mornings, and I know that when the sun came through I'm going to be photographing for at least an hour. "The sun's not fully up, and I'm thinking that something big is going to happen. "The valley below is flooded with mist and clouds," Mike says. As he crests a hill, he sees.the image you see here?
It's 7:30 on an October morning, and Mike Corrado, manager of pro photographer relations and product marketing for Nikon Professional Services, is driving to meet the Nikon Professional Services team for breakfast before the day's assignments begin at the Eddie Adams Workshop in Jeffersonville, New York.
