  • Vicki Ferrari

    Vicki Ferrari

    Another WOW! This is spectacular… brilliant….
    And you use a Fuji S2 – that is similar to the Nikon isn’t it? From what I have seen of those FUJI cameras, they are pretty good.
    Did you do any post processing on this image, bar basic editing? Do you shoot RAW or JPG? All your photos are amazing, from what I have seen….
    Look forward to seeing more, Joe…

  • Joe Mortelliti replied

    Yes Vicki the camera is a Nikon,with Fuji software and ccd.I shoot with Fuji S2 and S3.Most images have had no or a little tweaking…I shoot JPEG and have had some hundereds published for calendars etc,
    The dynamic range in the S3 is around 10 stops, so get the exp right with bracketing and little PS is required.
    Thanks for so many views and comments:-)

    Thats a fair point. Us moderators cant keep track. A quick way to do it is unjoin and re join. I will be sending a BM soon to all in the group to clear out the images and have new ones in..or old ones as the case maybe but we need a clean up in there. A good time to start Joe!
