Doc Henry Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share #1263 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Hi All, I'm back home as promised somme pictures , but first some remarks I took a lot of pictures in London in digital (M8, M9) and especially in film (2 M7) .I have compared to see, since I came back , because I took the same in duplicate with the same lens (lux 35 lux 50, 28 Cron asph, Apo 90 Cron Asph) ! I can tell you that the film beats far the images of M8 and M9 at "depth, more consistency, rich colors, image color more "natural", pure and soft lines (no smooth edges) , especially for portraits, and yet the images M8 and 9 are already very good quality (but unfortunately "flat", some are "image synthesis ", images usually require a correction in LR). I recognize the undeniable side "practice" of the digital, by immediate vision of the image, but outside of that sore which these "dust", "spots" or "crack-scratch" on sensor ! I who love the colors, it is "without appeal" and converting in b&w , if I want (SE), there is still much margin. Generally photos with Kodak Portra , I have not need correction in LR.

tookaphotoof Posted August 10, 2014 Share #1274 Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks for posting Henry. About the digital files, I have a feeling you need to desaturate a few color channels as the bus is a bit too flashy. Love your black and white photos and I love London as well! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tookaphotoof Posted August 11, 2014 Share #1276 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Can't completely agree with the way you compared the cameras this time Henry. This because it's a fact dng out of the camera is always meant to be post processed. There probably is so much more information in the file. Also, choosing your film is like post processing. A few times an analog shooter asked me what roll and developer I used for one of my photos and I answered 'Sandisk and Lightroom'. Do have to admit it was b/w and not color.

Doc Henry Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share #1277 Posted August 11, 2014 Allen, I went through LR (standard setting) for three photos one Tiff and 2 DNG,then converted to Jpeg ! Anyway the color of M8 is closest to the original color of this decker bus, but not the M9 ! The sensor of the M9 is brand new (just been changed and adjusted by Leica) I'll try to desaturate the M9 photo to see as you told me ! In any case , a sensor can give a slightly different color of the original color, it's mostly what I wanted to show Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share #1278 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) This is what I get by putting the cursor "saturation" to - 54 (LR), a lot of "desaturation" in my opinion ! it also takes away a little green color of the tree and clothing of walkers Welcome, dear visitor!

tookaphotoof Posted August 11, 2014 Share #1280 Posted August 11, 2014 Now the photo looks way better Henry. The thing with the dng file is that it's not meant to replicate precise colors but simply a file you can completely edit to your own taste. Also, you will always have problems with colors like that including red. Like you I'm a real fan of film, but I also try to learn and master Lightroom / Photoshop to get the best out of my digital files. That last photo is absolutely beautiful! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
