Thanks Edward, rirakuma, Michael, Salvador and Charles for the comments!
Edward, great portraits of your nephew.
rirakuma, your friend doesn't look to happy about his burger. Nice capture.
Michael, interesting photos from the beach. With all the people it's like the complete opposite of our vacation.
Adam, straight from the horse's mouth? Looking forward to more photos with the 50 APO.
Salvador, nice photos. Favorite is the last from the second set.
Charles, great set. #2 is the favorite.
Here are two photos from Unst, the most northerly island in Shetland which also makes it the most northerly one in all of the U.K. Unfortunately this was also the day on our trip with the worst weather with rain and fog so it wasn't to inspiring.
Charles, what are you using for processing the M240 files? Some people on LUF have been writing about making dual-illuminant camera profiles created with a Gretag-Macbeth Color Checker 24-patch chart and Adobe DNG Profile Editor 1.04, and one of the states that it took three or four attempts to get the chart shots right.
Joakim, did you use any presets for the last two Shetland shots?
Here are some more night shots with the Elmarit-21 ASPH from Friday night, and the last two shots earlier, but not posted here I believe. In No. 2, I'm not sure the blurry guy eating and the "Simply Delcious" sign really works. In No. 11, the restaurant owner flashing a "V-Sign" that is a disease that has ruined countless street signs in Thailand.
seekuh, yes I really love the Summicron 90! The 135APO I have also in focus, because with the longer lenses I like to pick out some details. But before that I guess I will get a fast wide angle, the night shots where ISO800, 64sec. for the milky way and the other was ISO800 and 32sec., all wide open with the 28 Summicron. As much I adore the 21/3.4 and for many cases it would be the "better" lens for me, but it just doesn't suit my nights scape interests. Yesterday night I would had been very happy with a aperture 1.4 lens. Hmmm, that Lux21 chases me for quite a wile now
Well, I got carried away now! I love all my three lenses so far, the handling and the output is just awesome!
because of the selfie, I have some own critique on the shot! To me, it would be better with one step to the right, then, the edge would not run trough the body. I didn't noticed it when I looked at the display, but still I like that pic a lot!
Btw. I never heard "selfie" before, had to google it....
rsolti13, that one with the Astia has some very great colors...almost pastel
salvador, welcome tot he thread!
Michael, very brave for taking the M9 into water. I'm not sure if I could do that myself.
Getting off my butt and processing a backlog of photos. 25/2.8 ZM
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.....
Gary, they actually made in Austria, all the pictures (except the lake pictures) are made close to the "grosser Ahornboden" which is located in the mountain range Karwendel. A very beautiful but strong frequented area, luckily not to the times I am out. From Munich it is one way 110KM to the "grosser Ahornboden"
Edward, glad you liked the wine! I am not so much a wine person, but every now and then my friends make a wine taste evening. They have large books which describe all the grapes from all the areas over the world they also cover the specific season! Well this is always to funny..... . If it is for me, just give me a good Scottish Single Malt Whiskey and I'am happy!
Thank you Peter. I'm not a wine connoisseur and I usually dislike all the hype and mysticism about wine. I don't need to know when was a good year or which domaine is famous, but I can simply appreciate a good wine when I'm served one Like you I would rather enjoy a good single malt whiskey
Looking forward to more photos with the 50 APO.
