vikasmg Posted November 4, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would really welcome some feedback if you can. Generally the pictures are untouched except for some highlight recovery and removal of a surprising amount sensor dust, which I noticed against the sky in particular, after I imported two days of photographs into Lightroom! margaret_river_wa Photo Gallery by Vikas M Gore at pbase.com Thank you. - Vikas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnakChan Posted November 4, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 4, 2009 Vikas, I don't like you ;-). #1, you've made me jealous that you've picked up an M9 in my home town (when I can't get one in Tokyo where I work). #2, you've taken beautiful pics and just made me miss home!! Good job buddy...hope you enjoyed the wine down there too. Something not to be missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasmg Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted November 4, 2009 To me, they are somewhat soft. I think you do have a point though with one or two exceptions I prefer them less contrasty if that's what you meant. - Vikas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well your home town is amazing. about a month back I happened to be in Perth on business and the day before I left Singapore (where I live and where is is likely still not available) I took a chance and called a Leica dealer in Perth. He had one piece. I gave him my credit card number straight away and picke it up two days later. This time was just my second visit to WA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time in Yallingup, take the M9 to the "Other side of the moon" ....the scenery will have you drooling. I too agree the photos are a bit soft, the Chocolate Factory photo is the sharpest of those posted. PS .....did you buy the M9 at CES on Stirling Street, or That Murray Street Mall camera shop? and what was the price ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrice Posted November 4, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 4, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) dugby, Camera Electronic are the only authorised Leica reseller in WA now, camera solutions no longer carry Leica. So Vikas would have pre-ordered from CES, likely quite close to 09/09/09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Vikas would have pre-ordered from CES, likely quite close to 09/09/09. Yes, it was CES and it was a week or so after 09/09/09. The price was at what I thought was a big premium but later realised that the Australian price for the M9 was for some reason pegged high and I understand it has come down since then (if you can find one of-course). - Vikas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasmg Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted November 4, 2009 To me, they are somewhat soft. Haven't done much about them yet, though I had hoped to, but you may be interested in two new takes on one of them: 20091031-0005 - Margaret River WA b.jpg photo - Vikas M Gore photos at pbase.com and 20091031-0005 - Margaret River WA c.jpg photo - Vikas M Gore photos at pbase.com Admitedly still too conservative.
