osscat Posted January 23, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) From almost 12 months ago during a walk with the dogs, hand held with elbows resting on a wall of a bridge. The 4/3 sensor holds up well given the difficult light conditions. Osscat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

osscat Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted January 24, 2010 The almost disregarded Digilux 3 has a great deal going for it. The RAW data stands up well to PP without having to use anything other than standard darkroom type processing methods. I have CS2 with an early version of ACR and no other 3rd party gizmos. In order to have control over the process it is necessary to push the limits of the machine and yourself. I helps, when you are faced with an opportunity, to know how the end result could look. For me there is still one issue regarding digital ISO rating that is unclear - does underexposing at 100 ISO work better than shooting at a higher ISO? Hmm - I generally underexpose or at least expose for the highlights. Any oppinions? Osscat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osscat beautiful image.. regarding the exposures there are some threads in the m8 forum. if i remember correctly if its high iso expose for the shadows. daylight or harsh light -1/3 and up depending on you. at a high iso if youve underexposed when you take it into pp and try to bring up the shadows you will get nasty noise. best,melissa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
osscat Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted January 24, 2010 Hi Melissa, I regard the digital process much as I would colour slide - don't blow the highlights, which means underexpose from the midtones (grey card) or expose for the highlights - at 100 ISO that means the shadows will be well underexposed and noisy but it can produce quite moody images. It is not a foolproof way but I suppose setting EV at + or - 1 stop and taking multiple exposures might offer some comparison to make a judgement from. Anyway, what I do seems to work:) Osscat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguewave Posted January 26, 2010 Share #10 Posted January 26, 2010 Very nice image. Lovely camera. BTW, you can download Adobe's newest ACR for free to process the RAW file & then import that into your processing software. Make sure to make a copy of the RAW file when you do that.

250swb Posted January 27, 2010 Share #11 Posted January 27, 2010 Excellent work Peter, superbly rendered and presented! I think you are spot on in exposing for the highlights. When people talk about dynamic range they often are only talking about when the highlights blow. But the 4/3 sensor does tend to have better shadow detail than say an APSC sensor, so it makes perfect sense to expose more towards the highlights in the knowledge that the shadows are taking care of themselves.
