Thanks a lot for the comments and likes!
Regarding the post processing. I always try to get a natural look and therefore try to pp as less is possible. 80% of my images are finished within the RAW-Converter. Very frequently I use graduated neural density filters. My favored RAW-Converter is Capture One Pro, I love it for it's colors and native sharpness, I tried all the other common options and always came back to Capture One Pro. First I check the wb, but to my surprise the M9P gets it most right. Then I make an s-courve with suits the picture, followed by shadow adjustment via the (I don't know the english words) RGB window, I adjust each color channel for it self, followed by adjusting the highlights in same window but all three colors together. If I have a picture with a lot fine-tender-nuances together with some early morning mist, then I never use any clarity! With normal lighting doing the day I always look how clarity looks like, but never more then 15, if it dose fit I'll use it. Within Capture One Pro I never apply sharpness, the native sharpness with Leica is for my needs most of the times just right. I convert them in 16bit tifs and open them in Photo Shop to have a second look. If some areas still look dull I adjust them locally. But what I have seen so far, the contrast delivered by the Leica lenses it self looks very often good enough for my taste. The pictures I made with Nikon lenses needed more selective touches. Then I resize them, when I think they need some minor sharpening, I change to Lab-Colors go to the channel palette and sharpen only the luminance via selective sharpening. For the frames I made for each lens a action which place them in the Miranda folder. I know, not a very fancy technique at all.....
