Advertisement Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Hi andybarton, Take a look here The Boy, The Dog, the Sea and the M8 . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted January 6, 2007 Share #22 Posted January 6, 2007 Beautiful. I notice that in most of your "Messing with the M8" shots, you overexpose by 0.3EV. Is this your favoured method of working? It certainly seems to produce stunning results Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted January 7, 2007 Share #24 Posted January 7, 2007 Spectacular shot. This really shows the dynamic range of the M8--on of its strongest features in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share #25 Posted January 7, 2007 Jonathan, WOW! That's certainly a powerful image you've captured there. Thanks for posting. Hi John thank you - it was a splendid afternoon (rather well lubricated as I remember!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share #26 Posted January 7, 2007 Nice shot, indeed. It deserves to be up on the wall - 20 x 30. But next time could you get it with the ball just a little above the horizon please. Regards, Rick. HI Rick Thanks for that - don't you think the ball should be slightly to the left? Incidentally, it was a small buoy rather than a ball . . . FWIW! Anyway, thanks for looking, and for making the change I hadn't thought of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly seems to produce stunning results Hi Andy - Thanks for the kind words. to be honest, I wasn't aware that I had a +0.3 overexposure - I usually expose for the highlights, so with the M8, most of the shots will have a half press of the shutter to hold the exposure from the brightest part of the shot. I long ago decided that I preferred noisy shadows to overexposed highlights (each to his own). I'm much to vague to have any real rules, but generally speaking with the M8 I'll put it on +0.3 if it's dull weather, and -0.3 if it's contrasty - and then ignore it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hi Chris My balls are all over the place - as for over-exposure, last time I went to that beach in November I actually went swimming brrrrr!

larry Posted January 9, 2007 Share #29 Posted January 9, 2007 Jono, Somehow I missed this, but better late than never. Great shot! Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted January 9, 2007 Share #30 Posted January 9, 2007 Jono--saw the other one in this set... and they're both fabulous. I don't know how I missed this, but you must be missing the M8 very much right about now! Happy New Year, too, by the way! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted January 9, 2007 Share #31 Posted January 9, 2007 Ditto...that should shut all the naysayers and white noise about the M8..superb capture....even magical. Thanks for sharing Regards, Leicamann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_dykstra Posted January 9, 2007 Share #32 Posted January 9, 2007 HI RickThanks for that - don't you think the ball should be slightly to the left? I moved it up and left a bit, but like you, after I'd tidied things up a little I though, "Hmmm, it should it be a little more left." I learnt a bit about Photoshop, moving the ball/bouy to where it is now, so I'll let someone else have the pleasure of jinking it over closer to the dawg! It can be fun, if sometimes startling, to see what others think should be done with one's images. I had one of mine cropped rather a lot and sent back to me today. Wow! Different. Again - great shot. Made me look all over your site. Nice. Thanks for posting and bringing to our attention. Regards, Rick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jamie Happy New Year to you too - Glad you liked the shot - as for missing the camera - you're certainly right - a lot - it's tempting to follow Terry and Jaap and Guy and buy another body, but luckily for my bank manager there don't seem to be any to buy!

Thanks for sharing Regards, Leicamann Hi John - thanks for posting, and for being so flattering!- I don't think there can be much doubt any longer that the camera certainly CAN come up with the goods - personally I don't think I've had more than half a dozen shots out of 4000 which failed because of the camera.

It certainly does make you think when people change things for you - maybe this was an obvious enough change, but I try to leave things where they are-otherwise I get lazy, it's only too easy to get into the 'I'll sort it out in Photoshop' mentality.
