Fond of using auto-complete on his phone with the result that many of his posts were littered with unintentionally amusing spelling errors. He's on the Leica S forum and has given up on us in steerage class. I couldn't locate any recent post from him so either his Thai wife is making sure he takes his medication or he's back on the rigs. On the GetDPI forum he recently wrote that he thinks he’s been banned here (or effectively so since he won’t change his posting approach).

'the pot calling the kettle black' ......

thighslapper Posted January 3, 2020 Share #29 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Neil, bless him, did have an unfortunate habit of speaking his mind and a rather dim view of authority and forum 'etiquette'. As Andreas the forum admin has occasionally had to point out, the forum is his private business and income, and anything that legally or materially jeopardises that will be shut down ..... but only after repeated warnings. The last notorious thread to run foul of this was actually inadvertently started by me ..... about Brexit ...... and ended up in a big slanging match with multiple warnings and eventual closure. So we are stuck with no religion, no politics, no personal attacks and just general genteel discussion about the wonders of predominantly all things Leica.

Hopefully firmware will make things better. Also images in low light (iso 3200 upwards) look very noisy. I’m hoping it’s because I’m still adjusting settings and learning how to use the camera. The photos on these forums look amazing so I’m clearly doing something wrong! 😝 I still seem to be struggling with noise in low light situations. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

Camera has already too much automatic features to me.Otherwise what's the point of taking photos if all done by the camera ? 50mm SL summicron @f2 iso 1600 1/80.Image cropped.No Postproduction.

Anyone who has been here a while will know what I'm alluding to ...... 😉 I was mulling over how to approach this point. Similar but so different. Neil has a self deprecating sense of humour, is as open as the day is long, finds lovely scenes to photograph and is not at all patient, on any time scale, runs headlong into everything he does. In total, a fun guy. Artin’s photo acquisitiveness is really the only link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having a related issue - with my M240 I avoided noise at all costs. With SL2 in low light it doesn’t disgust me. I can imagine printing and liking the noise.
