Iduna Posted August 29, 2013 Share #10 Posted August 29, 2013 Karl-Heinz, this was worth going back to this flower for having another close-up. The details are amazing and the light is very good. I tis very difficult to control the yellow because it blooms easily. Welldone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted August 29, 2013 Guenther, Henry, Iduna, Thanks again. I could easily use my M9 and modern M lenses. However, these older lenses have their own charm, problems, and challenges. It feels great though, when despite lens imperfections, one manages to create a pleasing image. Of course, post-processing is important in this effort. So, first I had to remove chromatic aberration. In ACR I also chose Contrast = -25, and Clarity = +50, no Sharpening or Noise Reduction. ISO was fine at 800 but setting Clarity = +50 generates a lot of noise in the image that needs to be reduced. For that I used Nik Define 2. Then I applied Raw Sharpener selectively, as shown here in white, Welcome, dear visitor!

Finally I applied Nik Output Sharpening at 25% in the white areas only. That's it. I just love how new cameras M9, D800E, NEX-5N, NEX-7, and OM-D E-M5 let these older Leitz lenses shine, if appropriately post-processed with software that seems to get better all the time. It's certainly an enjoyable continuously learning exercise on my part.
