My bird is probably the same color as yours. I just didn't do proper white balance.

Some local ingredients photographed still life style on a piece of coffee colored matboard.
Did some LF B&W as well, but didn't like it in B&W. These are with the D300. Two white lightning flashes with umbrellas.

That's awesome Marko !
Randy, it's simple really. The only rule to camera toss photography is that the camera must be untethered and airborne when the shutter is open. I use an audible 2-second countdown timer to help me with the release. Shutter speeds range from 1/10 second to 3 seconds depending on the target and what you're trying to achieve. If you want to try, start by removing the camera strap and practice with releases and catches over a mattress, but only rely on the mattress as a back up. Once you're comfortable with the process find a target and go to town. Neon and other noble gas lights are great; LED sign are good too. Check your histogram frequently to avoid blowing out highlights. Some work via an iterative approach to dial in a pleasing image, others achieve success through brute force and high numbers of tosses. The target in this shot was a neon sign and a mercury vapor street light.

Yes even Raw files are really interpolated from the Bayer sensor. Because the little specs of RGGB are interpreted by the on board computer processor the RAW FILE is still a guess by the computer. RGB values at each pixel position are all approximations. The guesses are getting better but the colour is ramped up. Especially in the reds...Seasoned to Nikons taste, or what they think people want. The contrast is also ramped up. Subtle highlights get quashed. White balance gets you part way but not all of the way. Custom IN Camera profiles are necessary for accurate colour.
As to your 135 DC on extension tubes. These will work. Try also an achromat. Or maybe even a magnifying glass. Who knows till you try.
