Orange cone ruins photo

<< < (2/3) > >>

KyleSTL:
I photographed a few friends in the St Louis Marathon last year, and many of my pictures were affected by the hi-vis green shirts that they gave to all the participants.  The shirts also REALLY threw off the metering, resulting in quite a few under exposed photos (I was using Av then).



EDIT: This isn't the worst example, but I wanted to protect the innocent, so I used a picture without faces.

Sport field backgrounds can be terrible with distractions in the background.  Imagine if that was not a cone, but a giant Sony add with a soccer player and a soccer ball in the add.

Once again Canon drops the ball on their inferior sensor being able to render out of focus neon colors properly. Maybe we can start a petition for Canon to release an orange cone firmware update?

I'm switching to Samsung, DxO gives them the highest rated orange-cone-rendering score!


I'm totally joking. I always have a hard time with reds, magentas & oranges too. In this case I'd photoshop it out, or mask it and drop the luminosity/ vibrance/ saturation a bit to pull it back into the color range of your gamut space (sRGB or Adobe RBG).

Yikes, that's almost as bad as the top LCD light leak.  :o

Plop it in photoshop, clone or healing brush content aware, gone in mere seconds.  Color/brightness will vary depending on your saturation and brightness settings.  But it is what it is..
