Better SLR photography with the 5D
Fix colour and contrast
Left: Shirley is seen shooting the scene
below on the 5D, taken and NOT
corrected to improve the result, on our
7D. This is what the day looked like,
and what you would get on slide film.
Below, a few simple adjustments using
Photoshop Elements 3.0 – and not even
working from RAW. Many programs
will do this type of adjustment auto-
matically with a single mouse-click.
The choice whether to do this is yours.
Try out filters – no film or process costs
The top shot has no filter, and considerable UV haze. The bottom picture
uses a polarising filter, which also cuts UV blue haze and strengthens
colour. 5D with 100-300mm APO (D) and circular polariser.
Night Portrait mode – parties and functions
The Night Portrait setting is not just for portraits, or night
time. It creates excellent balance of the 5D’s pop up flash and
room lighting, even in a big hall like this. Set the ISO to 400
or even 800 to ensure good exposure. 18-70mm lens at 18mm.
