Ecar Posted July 3, 2016 Share #281 Posted July 3, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you, Mark. Very much appreciated. I'm normally not much of a colour person - I tend to prefer (high-contrast) B&W. So, when I process for colour, I sometimes enjoy playing with the sliders . The two square pictures from Thailand were mainly the results of my experiments with the calibration panel in LR (old ACR/process version). I also dialed in some contrast, vignetting and, obviously, cropped the originals. No standard recipe, just getting to a result I liked in each case. They would most likely come out differently if I did it again today... The Miami pictures OTOH, are a much better reflection of the M8 sensor's output. They are not straight OOC, but I only did some minor WB, contrast and saturation/luminance tweaks for these. In 2016, the M8's CCD sensor (if not its ergonomics...) still holds its own for colour - and the thin IR filter makes it great for B&W. I have since moved on to the M9/MM and M240, but still use my M8 and M8.2 when I don't need high ISO. And, with a bit of care when exposing, the DR is not bad either - one more with M8 + Summilux 21 on Miami Beach back in 2009: Welcome, dear visitor!

A miller Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share #285 Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Thank you, Adam - much appreciated. Here's another one, taken with the M8 and a Summilux 21 this time. 090416 Miami Beach (20).jpg. Wonderful colors that you get (got) from that M8. Wow.
