I suspect the red in many flowers (daffodils, anyone?) is very close to the red lenslets covering 25% of non-foveon camera sensors. As such, they just oversaturate if the rest of the scene is spot on.
My technique: Got to the HSL adjustments in ACR and desaturate the red channel. It's amazing how much detail is there once you jack the slider down. Anyone do anything different? --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2009/7/3 Tim Bray <[email protected]>: > On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 3:05 AM, David J Brooks<[email protected]> wrote: >> <ihatered>Took a few flower shots at my sister's place on Wednesday, >> and a few were of red flowers, >> using the D200 and Tamron 90 f2.8 macro. >> >> Just looking at these in LR and the red is WAAY over blown/saturated. > > I shoot lots of flowers and I think this isn't just a D200 problem or > a Nikon problem, it's a digital-camera-sensor problem in general. > I've never used a digital camera of any make or model that could deal > with really intense floral reds, particularly when there's sunlight > anywhere nearby. > > We've got an azalea in our front yard that turns into a shocking mass > of intense slightly-violet red every May, and I've been trying to > capture the effect with various cameras since 1997 when we bought the > place.
