D500 - playing with my 50mm f/1.8
2

Third installment of the play dates with my new D500. You can tell I am in the honeymoon phase 😁.

Having fun with the old 50mm f/1.8 during a cold Sunday afternoon.

I went a bit out on a limb shooting handheld in less than optimal light and slow shutter, but the D500 more than obliged!

In case you are wondering, this is my son's Eagle Scout recognition

Wow, love the colors, what kind of post processing did you apply? Mine are jpegs out of camera. Only the eagle got a little D-Lighting to lift the midtones a little, but I did it in camera.

Thanks!

I capture in raw and use adobe Lightroom. I usually tinker with the sliders to my linking but sometime the automatic presets are handy. For example the bunch of white flowers with vignetting - I discovered that while trying out the automatic presets. So its also a bit of learning there.

And the landscape image with mountain and cloud during sunset is a HDR merge or 11 images taken at different exposure level. After that did a bit of post processing to make the sky color more vibrant.
