jonoslack Posted May 20, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) HI There This is the fourth part of the experiment - Thank you so much for chipping in on the other three (which are still available for download for a day or so). There is also a potential problem with dropbox limits - I do pay for it, so there is a larger daily limit, but please don't download the file over and over again. If this is a success, then I'll be able to make other files available. I'm doing it through my website so that my son can amuse himself with the metrics! You can play with the file, and then you can post your conversion on this thread. Enjoy! Click on the Downloads link on the top right This is my take - I'm sure you can do better (I've been intentionally 'gentle' with the PP) [ATTACH]316738[/ATTACH] If interest continues, I'll try and post an M9 / MM comparison soon. all the best Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeicaPassion Posted May 20, 2012 Share #2 Posted May 20, 2012 A MM/M9 comparison would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted May 20, 2012 A MM/M9 comparison would be great. Hi There I've done an indoor test - but I'd like to do an outdoor test at base ISO with both cameras.It's difficult at the moment as it's windy and gray, i can deal with low light okay, but a tripod doesn't help much outside! all the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaPassion Posted May 20, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 20, 2012 Hi Jono, I really look forward to seeing your test after outside conditions permit. I'm sitting on the fence about the MM. It all depends on the MM IQ compared to the M9 IQ. Many thanks for sharing your images! Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted May 21, 2012 Share #5 Posted May 21, 2012 Initially, I tried cropping the image to get rid of the power lines arcing over the bridge, but the dimensions of the image became distracting. So, I decided that lines are what they are, and it is part of the image, good or bad. I cropped out the inflatable dinghy towed behind the boat, and then resized it a little. The image was then edited in Silver Efex Pro 2, selecting the High Structure (Smooth) setting, I then brought the exposure down slightly. I prefer the darker water, and the deep shadows in the bush behind. Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

euston Posted May 21, 2012 Share #7 Posted May 21, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the file! What a lovely scene! I bet it would look good in colour. I’ve adjusted exposure and contrast in ACR, selectively with the adjustment brush in some parts of the image. The bridge, in particular, needed some attention to bring out the detail and there were shadow areas which I’ve lightened very slightly. I added a very slight amount of vignetting. I left the sharpening controls at the ACR defaults but did take the clarity up to 25. Some of the adjustments aren’t obvious in the small image posted here but at full size they are evident and would show in a print.

Cheers John Hi John The inflatable dinghy was actually a bamboo raft, but I can see why you got rid of it. As for the power cables. That's china (or the UK come to that) Why not just get rid of 'em: This was processed in Aperture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
