Wonderful composition and film-like grain. How did you achieve this? In post production or with high iso?

i am sorry this is the Dom in Speyer Germany ...! :-) 

Ah, a quick search shows that the Dom in Worms is the same Worms as referenced by the Diet of Worms and the Edict of Worms and is as important to understanding the Lutheran Reformation as looking at upon the door of the Castle of Wittenburg.

What the...?

 

I know I should be using Lightroom, and I did download the trial version, but I am a beginner and have been happy without it for a long time. It didn't help that the first time I used it it turned all my black & white 1:1 images back into colour 3:2 when I made my first import.

 

So this time I imported the DNG files directly into Apple Photos. No problem in thumbnail form. But when I open a single image it 'pops' into different white balance, colour settings etc. And both weirdly and annoyingly, it introduces this violent vignetting on images made at 24m with the SL 24-90mm. I assume its to do with Photos way of converting DNG files, although they still show as 44mb.

 

Questions:

1; how do I stop it doing this?

2: just out of interest and curiosity, what kind of witchcraft is Leica employing if it can 'fill in the blacks' when recording images at 24mm with this heavy vignetting?

3; do I have to go back to Lightroom and sign up for a tutorial? Even for my touristy snaps? Yes, I know the answer is 'yes', but...

 

I may have to go back to my X-Pro2 for holiday and travel photos, where I just want impactful, rich and pin-sharp images of the sights. And save the SL for my more arty work, where I can invest the time in using Lightroom. But that wasn't the intention. The SL was supposed to do everything well. Processing images now looks like hard work... sigh...

 

Thoughts?

The vignetting appears mechanical in character to me (as opposed to optical) because it's so dense so I'd immediately suspect that either a filter rim or a hood was causing it.  If you're using either or both then remove them and see if you still get the vignetting at 24 mm.

For me, it looks more like the apple photo software cannot interpret the internal camera corrections, which are transported with the DNG files 

[thighslapper]

it IS because Photos is not reading the embedded DNG corrections from the images.

 

I have checked with iPhotos and it reads and displays my 24mm photos fine with all the vignetting etc corrections applied. Have you done something to them and re-exported them to iPhotos ? 

 

If you imported DNG's into LR it will show the originals ....... irrespective of what you had done when you processed them elsewhere ...... unless you save and import them as JPG or TIFF. Most processors just save a file of the change parameters rather than physically altering the DNG's and that is saved in the catalogue with the original. 

 

If these are direct from the SD card and into iPhotos then I am a bit puzzled. There are very limited controls and nothing that disables DNG corrections if in the file. Have you an ancient version ???? Do the photos open fine if accessed directly from Finder using Preview ??

 

ps. I always found Aperture ..... now discontinued excellent ...... but have ignored iPhotos as Apple freely admitted when it appeared it is for general users and not real Photographers. 

 

I think you need to explore the basics of Digital processing and bite the bullet on using a decent processor such as LR. No point spending all that money on a pro level camera and not fully exploiting the resultant image files .....

thx Neil

How are you liking the 90/280. When you go out with your SL what's your go to lens.......... for me it's either the Noctilux or 90mm............ the truth of the matter it's frigging awesome with anything apart from the 50 f2 APO

I like all my M lenses on SL and love the 90-280 APO.

Each and every lens has its purpose and I like to change what I shoot with either for variety, or to force myself to shoot certain things by picking up a particular lens and focal length.

For landscapes I like the crazy ultra wide Voigtländer 10/5.6 and Super-Elmar 18/3.8. For portraits use Summicron 50-M and 90-280 is a go-to for portrait, macro, compressed landscapes, wildlife ...
