First pictures

Kathy and I had to babysit on the first night I had my S2pro. I wasn't about to leave it at home, so I bet you can guess what happened.

DETAILS:


Cam is Fuji S2pro (of course!)
Lens: Sigma 28-70D Aspherical at f/4.0
Light was from a Quantum T2 bounced of the ceiling, set at 5.6 (probably should have been 8.0).
I also used the onboard camera's popup for a little fill at -1.0 (probably could have been 0.0 given the white background)
Shutter was in manual mode around 1/45 to 1/60th
Backdrop was a 5x10' roll of flocked poly that I happened to have in the trunk

All in all the camera performed very well. I underexposed by nearly full stop because of the white background, but the histogram would have told me this if I hadn't been baby wrangling. I did set the strobe at 1 stop over, but it should have been two, given the situation.

Postprocessing:

Because of the underexposure I needed to do a basic levels adjustment on both shots. I also desaturated the first one just a bit and oversaturated the second a bit just for effect.

Excellent first pics memobug! You're obviously getting the hang of the S2 pretty quickly. I also appreciate you providing the details of your settings and post-processing work. Helps the rest of us learn.

You too! :-) Lots to learn and play with, and it's awesome that we have s2pro.com and dpreview to pull from!

Have a good one!
