RE: 📸 Driving through my city 🚗 - Part Four
That choice to stick with the 50mm in manual fits your unplanned wander perfectly. It makes you move and notice, and Tonal Contrast from Nik adds just enough grit to the mood. Manual mode is like a tiny workout for the brain, right? Do you have a go-to Tonal Contrast setting for city scenes, or do you tweak it each stop?

Thank you very much for such a nice comment dear @amr008 ❤️, really. As for Nik Collection, I try to adjust it the way I like it best when I see the result. And no, I don't have a setting for a city scene, but I work on each photo separately. Sometimes the processing differs, especially when the lighting is different, the angle of the photo, the frame. Even when the sky is cloudless, like on one from this series, I don't do Tonal Contrast. Somehow I find it best when there are clouds in the sky.
Ah that sounds great.
And yes, one more thing.... Ever since I got my Nikon D750, it never occurs to me to take photos in anything other than manual mode
Same here, once manual becomes muscle memory, everything else feels slow. What’s your usual starting point on the street, do you ride ISO or shutter when the light shifts? And which metering do you trust on the D750, matrix or spot, with the histogram as the final check?
