My guess is middle pair is one camera and the top and bottom are another camera.
how'd'I'do?
Top and bottom bluer, than redder middle pair.

You get a 100. The middle was expensive D70 Nikon. Top and bottom a cheap Sony DHC H200.
The Sony out performed it in resolution and color reproduction. I am sure i need to better my settings.
Digital cameras are so flexible that it presents problems getting exact reproductions. But our eyes see things differently under different lighting.
Those are the first close ups i ever did in total manual mode on the Sony. I just learned the manual controls on these photos. The lens is slower on the Sony so i have to shoot 1/40 max which makes me have to prop(against a tall salt shaker)LOL.

lol, southern engineered stabilizers are all the rage.
I hear you are getting sunshine tomorrow. Maybe you will be able to get some adult beverages ready and bask your bones for an hour or too.

Interesting comparison. Rich Darn digitals have so many more adjustments than film. It just hit me that i could go from a 100 ASA to 200-400 and get a faster shutter/smaller aperture. But i do not know what the trade is. Seems like everything is a trade. You never get something for nothing.

I to have done a lot of experimenting with my cameras, both Canon point & shoot. Built one of those card board box light tents that was on the net. Painted it white & installed tissue paper, etc. Had lights on up to 5 sides of the box. Used incandescent & fluorescent lighting. Used all the different settings on the cameras. Bought a packet of different colored paper from Staples and experimented with backgrounds. Used dowels to space the cab up off the background so the camera would only focus on the cab & not the background. Tried outside in the sun, in the shade and on and on. I'm trying to reproduce the color like it really is. Too much light, sun produces too much reflection to where you can't seen the rock patterns, showing only the reflection of you and everything around you. Not good. All of us on this forum polishes rocks so no need to show a picture of the shine. We all know how to do that. I found the best way to take pics of slabs & cabs is out on my patio in the shade. Over cast days comes out better, colors really pop for some reason. And I try to block the reflection from the sky, etc from the edges of the rock. Took Bobby1's advice and shoot using the macro mode from about a foot away, then crop the pic.
