Bill Sievers Posted March 10, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) This was taken in harsh miday sun. I tweaked the exposure in Lightroom. But the color is fantastic. Love this camera. http://www.flickr.com/photos/captainvideo/412990522/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this camera. http://www.flickr.com/photos/captainvideo/412990522/ It'd be interesting to know lens, aperture, filter, development etc but I agree, it's a stonking example of them M8 colours!

Laki Posted March 10, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 10, 2007 hi, nice colors for sure, as i saw in the exif data you have the saturation set to high, hard contrasts and hard sharpening, so you shoot jpgs then? in any case stunning result. btw, your sensor needs cleaning there are some spots on the top in the sky. might not show at larger apertures though. also maby upgrade to the official firmware version which is 1.092 cheers laki Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammam Posted March 10, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 10, 2007 Nice, but am I the only one to think that the sky looks a bit gaudy? Like too much turquoise-ish? Could be monitor discrepancies, though. Also, isn't it interesting that the dust always seems to stick to the upper part of the sensor, where the sky usually is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit rich but a lot of us like that ;-) it's cos the sat is set to high in jpeg capture. Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right, and I stand corrected. Then, this must be due to some gravitational pull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Sievers Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted March 10, 2007 Tnx--I noticed the dust when I processed this so I have already cleaned up. I shot this with a 28mm Summicron. ISO was at 160 so my Aperture was around F8. I did not process the color in LR. But I equalised the dark areas slightly with fill light and I lowered the exposure becuae it was very bright. The sky was an awesome blue this week in Miami. Here is the companion image taken on the same street opposite direction: Skater Boy Blue on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

like_no_other Posted March 10, 2007 Share #11 Posted March 10, 2007 Good shot. That's the picture quality I want to see from the M8. I suppose you shot this picture in jpg mode, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Sievers Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted March 10, 2007 Yes, JPG mode as well. I admit I am lazy when it comes to RAW. But the results are spectacular as far as I am concerned. Great camera! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted March 10, 2007 Share #13 Posted March 10, 2007 William, Post these on the Photo Forum, I'm sure the regulars over there would like to see your work. Cheers, Wilfredo Benitez-Rivera Photography Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
like_no_other Posted March 10, 2007 Share #14 Posted March 10, 2007 Jpg is a good choice in general. You can use in-camera settings and algorithms creatively with some cameras so that the results surpass most people's photoshop skills. And it means more fun to know you got the picture right at the photo location. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
