Greetings all.  Happy to be a new member of this great forum..

 

I'm two weeks into my Q and it's blowing my mind.  

 

Revival Cycles - a custom motorcycle shop + clothing store - was kind enough to let me loose in their storefront last week in Austin, Texas.

 

Once I figure out how to post photos directly, I will do so.  For now - here's a link:

what is your secret to sharpen photos for this forum? The pictures are incredible sharp for my eyes! What are your LR settings for these pics?

[Adalsteinn S.H.]

Well, sharpening is a very delicate procedure which can often destroy images if not done correctly. To begin with the Summilux is just extremely sharp but I also let Lightroom sharpen my DNG's with the default settings (Amount:25, Radius:1,0 and Detail:25), especially when the images is full of small particles. If the images has smoother surfaces (fields in landscape and portrait shots) I push the sharpening up to 40 and the Radius to 1,4 which often does the trick. When exporting you really have to watch out not to over sharpen the image so there I set the Output sharpening to Output for: Screen and the Amount most often to Low, sometimes to Standard. As with everything else when it comes to processing your images, just watch out not to overdo the processing resulting in an unnatural image. I usually process the images to my initial likings, stand up and go and grab a coffee and have another look at the image in terms of colour, temperature, tint, sharpening etc.  On last advice, us the Clarity slider with extreme caution, especially when the image is in colour as too much clarity tends to make the colours washed out and murky.
