The Savannah Botanical Garden presents a wonderful spring environment starting in March (Azaleas) into May (Roses.) In addition, the historic farm house is also an interesting visit. The site is ‘open’ during daylight hours – the farm house schedule varies.
The slide show below has many options (including ‘full screen’ view) – select the ‘play’ button to explore the options. Images were captured during March and April of 2011 – time of day also varies.
I recently attended a local gathering for wedding-related vendors in the newly renovated ballroom at the American Legion (on Bull St, in Savannah.) I set the Nikon D7000 to shutter priority with Auto-ISO enabled (max at ISO 6400.) During editing I created three variations from the original color image so the set contains:
This was a ‘mixed lighting’ environment (late afternoon daylight + incandescent lights) so I selected the Lightroom default for ‘incandescent’ white balance.
In general, the originals were ‘noisy’ so I applied some ‘noise reduction’ using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. IMO, the B&W images look the ‘best’ with the original color version be acceptable with the exception of the first image (captured at ISO 400 and several stops under-exposed so the tinkering introduced quite a bit of ‘noise’.) The ‘toned’ images present a different ‘look’, especially for the venue. BTW – Jeff Brown (All About You DJs) was manning the sound station.
