Another days play
Another play session with controlling the camera by laptop.
As Stephen has said being able to see the effect on a large screen makes all the difference. Any exposure alterations can be made directly on the pc. I was also able to see what imact a change in contrast made in post processing would have.
I attach an image that shows what would not be seen through the viewfinder or viewing the camera LCD screen with a magnifier.
As I am using an earlier version of Nikon Capture than Stephen I was able to see the histogram once the image was downloaded. I am attaching two screen shots of these, also one of the test JPG images. The final JPG image is in the Flash thread and the Nef ( RAW ) image is in my gallery.
The only negative I found was needing to midway exit NC and turn off the camera to allow the batteries to recover. As I was doing screen captures as well as dealing with the scene, the camera was on for quite a while. Battery power dropped to a point that the camera would not trigger, but a 10 minute switch off returned battery power to 90%.
