First Images With The Nikon D80 In Vivid Mode
Posted by David Chin on September 21st, 2006 in Amazing Nikon D80 Image SamplesAloharob presents this fantastic series of resized JPEG Large / Fine images, straight from the Nikon D80.
Having used a D200 before (not mine, my brother-in-law’s) and playing around with the optimization modes, I found myself liking the More Vivid setting a lot, especially when shooting nature and landscape photos. Vivid mode is a gentler version, for those who don’t prefer their images to be so saturated and contrasty.
It’s good to see the Nikon D80’s color performance shine in the Vivid mode too.
Links:
- See the larger version of these images, and read the related forum thread for the camera settings used.
- Kim gives some advice on minimizing the occurrence of burnt-out highlights in the image, and recommends reading books such as “Understanding Exposure” by Bryan Peterson, and John Shaw’s “Field Guide to Nature Photography” for improving one’s knowledge of metering and exposure.
- Using the “blinking highlights” mode while reviewing the image assists in determining a suitable exposure to aim for.
- Equipment used: Nikon D80, Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Macro lens
