Shots from this afternoon. Winter's day, almost warm enough to swim.
A7r and WATE. Lovely pics.
Kinda curious, dont take it wrong, is that posterization in sky comming from JPG compression, or its present in original files too? I'm not him, but I'd have to imagine it's compression due to the file size restrictions for FM uploads. Plus files that are uploaded to FM get processed again. Many times I like my images before they get uploaded and then see what FM has done to them when displayed. Solution is to host your own photos and use a link so that FM doesn't process them in any way.
So far with my A7r I've not seen any obvious compression artifacts even when pushing shadows and highlights around a lot.
I find if I do my own compression to 600 KB or less uploading them to FM doesn't really do anything. This let's you have 1200 pixels on the long side with only minimal jpg compression (usually 10 or 11 in Photoshop).
