Hello Yoki. I Love the colors on this photo. Can you tell me your settings? And how you handle the post production?

 

Great photos!!!

 

 

Hi there..

 

Appreciate your interest on the photo. Here's my basic camera setting:

 

f/2.5, ISO 1600, 1/500 sec

 

As for the post-production; I use Lightroom 5, and did some adjustment, mainly on "shadows", "contrast", "black", and "temperature" (colors termperature, white balance).

You use DNG? how about your jpg settings? 

 

just curious how you manage that sharpness and colours, because they are fantastic

 

great photos, i hope i'll manage to post similar quality ones:)

Yes, I use DNG. I rarely get satisfying result with the jpeg. And I learnt that the raw file is the way to go with the X 113. Now, since we don't have "raw only" mode in our camera, I set the jpeg to black and white; so I can observes how the highlights and shadows' area are.
 
Here is a rather good example of X 113's jpeg (with very minor adjustment);

Unfortunatelly, I don't get many like this (notice how the camera 'limit' my aperture to f/2.2?) when shoting in jpeg.
 
Sharpness is a non-issue, as the lens is already excellent, even at f/1.7. You may have heard many complaints about how the camera automatically choose the proper aperture for you, when your object is in certain (closer) distance from the lens. In other words; you can't shot wide-open (f/1.7) when the object is very close to you. Now, after using the camera for almost 3 years, I can say that it is actually a good move from Leica; it keep your photograph sharp as it should.
 
To achieve certain look and colors, I adjust the color-balance (mainly "temperature" slides) in Lightroom and sometimes also did further adjustment in PhotoShop's color balance.
 
If you have Apple "Photos", you can try the (automatic) "Enhance" feature, then adjust it again to your taste.
 
I hope this will give you a bit of an idea to achieve certain looks and colors from your X 113.
 
Cheers!
