Jon K Pillar of the Community United States 723 Posts	Posted 01/18/2020 01:21 am I am dialing in the lighting. Shooting at f5.5 1/100 shutter. I have a question. On the below quarter, the toning is quite pronounced in the photo. In hand, and under 10x, maybe 50% of that toning shows. The toning is not nearly that visually jarring. And all of it is quite a bit lighter than the photo depicts. Is there any technique that would minimize the toning a bit so that the piece looks sorta like it does in hand? Tricks with the lights, aperture, voodoo, etc? Report this Post to the Staff
