"A picture is worth a thousand more" 

 

I'm interesting in purchasing the Leica M10, don't own it, but pictures like Reciprocity make me wonder about white balance / skin tone. The faces, especially on the left, are quite a bit off on skin tone. Was this already adjusted in post, and this was the best that can be done? Or was this color tone chosen for the rest of the photo overall (at the expense of skin tone)? 

 

Thanks,

Robert

M10 back from Wetzlar and I'm off to an event in another country, so I took some quick test shots in both Auto ISO and fixed (800).  It's good to have it back...

It's partly corrected tungsten light. Since the subject is the place from a scene setter perspective, I pulled yellow with the mind of keeping the place warm looking.

 

If the people were more important to the scene, I would have selectively corrected them while retaining the current scene.

Those are gorgeous photos, JMF ... but I think they are underexposed by about 1/2 a stop? Was this accidental or was this the look you were going for?

Thanks Keith, I usually go for a brighter look also but decided not to this time.

Eesand excellent use of an ultrawide lens!

Eesand that is a great shot. I have never seen a picture of that monument like that before! The little figure leaning on the arch just tops it off. 

 

How did you get the sky so dark? Did you use a red filter?

50 Apo Summicron 

 

Ok I have to be honest here since this is the epitome of Leica M Quality, M10 + Apo 50.

 

I was super close to pull the trigger for a M10 + 50Sumi, but this thread really discouraged me. 

Posts like this remind me that even the best glass and camera don't make one a great photographer, to the opposite even.

I feel one has the responsibility to deliver great shots with a camera kit that costs 14k.

 

I don't even want to bother to write up a critique here because clearly the poster doesn't care about pleasant  aesthetics in their photograph and just enjoys using top of the line gear.

 

However I want to be helpfull and suggest to watch this free course on photography 

Its a great introduction into the artistic part of photography that gets overlooked to often of photography gear forums.

 

Don't get me wrong there are many very talented photgraphers in this thread like riswanc, Eesand and many more.

Happy shooting

In post processing, I started with the dng file.  Using camera raw and converting to gray scale, one can adjust the luminance contribution in various colors.  So, I cranked down the luminance in blue to make the sky dark.  Thanks for your note!
