James,

 

The Dachsies are my "models" for shooting.

 

They never protest when the camera is pointed at them. They never growl at me:  'YOU better not' (take that picture). . . ! And, they never insist on a quick makeup and hair fix before a snap is taken!

 

Thanks you for sharing.

 

Regards,

 

Rob

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.

 

Pete.

 

Only the hood which came with the lens, not even a UV filter on there.

[Craggs 101]

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 ..... 

 

 

I agree it seems likely its a problem with Photos. What is odd is that the vignetting is not there as the thumbnails import, straight from the SD card, and not there when the full size image first opens, but then in a second it jumps to a substantially different image. 

 

Yes, as I suspected, I will have to learn how to use Lightroom. But one of the reasons I bought an expensive pro camera was so that I would get awesome images straight out of camera, and NOT have to battle a computer to get what I was looking at, like I had to with my Nikon gear. (The D2X was great, but it seemed to me that the D4 just gave me icky skin tones and mushy colours which needed work in post to fix.) 

 

The other alternative is to save jpegs to Photos and DNGs to Lightroom, dependent on subject matter and final use. 

 

Anyway, thanks to all for the advice.

Excellent composition. One thing I love about photography, and something at which the SL excels, is making the most mundane of subjects into something beautiful. Great colours & tones and perfect symmetry.

Yes I love the 3 chairs as well. The beauty in the subtleties of how the light plays out on the everyday.

An evening of fiddling about with LR ....... even with no manual/advice and you will wonder what you were worrying about.

 

Processing is intuitive from the interface. 90% of the rest of the features you will never or rarely use. 

 

Setting up your catalogue, importing, exporting, batch processing and setting up your default screen arrangements are the only things that need the use of some grey matter.

The colouring is very nice

The SL has zero influence on the outcome! If the composition works with the SL it will work with any other camera. The idea that the camera somehow makes the photograph is justy wrong.

If the composition works with the SL it will work with any other camera.

 

So you think every camera/lens have the same bokeh, same CA, same reflections inside etc...lol

I just started with Lightroom after years with Aperture.

 

Back in the film days they used a dark room and in todays digital age we use Lightroom.

 

It is pretty straight forward, your free subscription comes with excellent tech support and there are quite a few videos on Adobe's site to get started.

 

Lightroom will make the dynamic range of your SL shine and once you start composing and taking pictures with that in mind the results are amazing.

 

It is also a very good way to keep your library in order.
