TY so much Edward The "Sawteeth" shot is one of the cleanest BWs I've made with the M9, very little work with main brightness levels, but color adjustments to enhance forground trees and darken sky. Little by little I learn
Hike to Sawtooth lake con't:
Well-worn trail: L1022119 by unoh7, 90 Summarit f/3.4
As usual, my start was late, and the light very sharp with low sun angles: L1022178 by unoh7, zm 18 f/8
That's still 2.5 hours till sunset looking at Alpine Lake in the shadow. With those light issues there's only one way out : L1022173-2 by unoh7, ZM18 f/4
above is heavily adjusted
This is why you buy a Leica, right? I admit I am still not entirely natural with it. Which is annoying, as I'd used a RF for 5+ years and then went to the RX1 for a year and the intuitive nature of it all seems hidden away to me still. But at the same time, slightly lacking in confidence, which never helps!
This was for FB, which is why it's over sharpened, sorry about that.
