Colonial Woodcutters
These hard working pioneers were photographed at Timbertown, an historical theme park, at Wauchope, west of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on a lovely autumn day.
As you can see there was a very high dynamic range between shadow and highlights. I tried to combat that by using my Vivitar DF200 slave flash unit at full power, mounted to the camera on a bracket, aimed at the man but there was too much light drop-off due to the distance between us. It still illuminated him well enough but there were many areas of high exposure. So I used that and processed the image to end up as a B&W.
Camera: Fuji S9600; RAW; Manual Priority; f/4.5; 1/125sec; 10mm; Auto Focus; WB Daylight; ISO 80; Spot Metering; Centre Focussing; Low powered pop-up Flash to set off Vivitar slave unit; Hand held.
Processing: S7RAW & Photoshop CS.
Enjoy!
