gverdon Posted August 14, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Broye, Switz., August 2007 Experimenting this extraordinary little toy... Thanks Pete. A lot to do, tho, to master RAW process. More to come and to write... V-Lux | 100 ISO | f8.0 | 1/1000s | ø50mm | -2/3 EV | RAW -> JPG [ATTACH]49831[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking.

hsw Posted August 15, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 15, 2007 Wonderful tones and textures. Masterful in its simplicity. Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 15, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 15, 2007 Gérald - Glad to see you posting again. This is gorgous for its pattern, angle, composition, tonal range and contrast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gverdon Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted August 15, 2007 Thank you for your comments. Well, the strange thing is I only shoot in RAW with the V-Lux, which gives me very nice files with a very limited sensor. I wish could seriously use the RAW workflow with the D2... Another point: I'm now convinced that the compressed/downsized Jpeg file is far, far away from the original RAW file... Cheers, Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gverdon Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted August 18, 2007 Broye, Switz., August 2007 Still experimenting the V-Lux... Not yet quite satisfied with the final result from RAW, have to work more. ;-) V-Lux | 100 ISO | f8.0 | 1/640s | ø35mm | RAW -> JPG [ATTACH]50161[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking.

elansprint72 Posted August 18, 2007 Share #6 Posted August 18, 2007 Gérald, We are both only at the beginning of this journey, already I'm learning from my 15 yr old son, who has FZ-50, and sees possibilities beyond my limited vision. Damn; it's a good camera! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kld Posted August 20, 2007 Share #8 Posted August 20, 2007 Hi Gérald, your eye is visible behind the new toy. The first one is a refeshing new sight on a somewhat outworned theme. The second is another example of your fabulous ablity to dig the great photo out of bleaky scenes. Do you look Kaurismäki DVD's each evening? :-) Great tones in both. I think you are fighting with ufraw against the deficiencies of an more insensitive sensor than the one in the D2? -- Klaus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted August 20, 2007 Share #9 Posted August 20, 2007 Two Extremely well captured and Wonderful images. Gerald, Well Done. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn; it's a good camera! Pete, it's an excellent camera. I'm currently trying to push it to the limits in order to understand better the RAW process, but actually, it can produce stunning results in portrait and other fields the D2 cannot compete with...

I think you are fighting with ufraw against the deficiencies of an more insensitive sensor than the one in the D2? -- Klaus Thanks for your words, Klaus. Life is a Kaurismäki's DVD... Re sensor. I wouldn't say that. A bit more pixels in a more reduced sensor produce a very interesting result... TIFF files directly from RAW are astonishingly good (A4 and A3 prints) until 400 ISO if carefully processed. The only problem is the one Pete mentioned a few weeks ago: I can't go out without the two cameras ans that's a real problem. Cheers, Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jotam Posted August 21, 2007 Share #13 Posted August 21, 2007 So, a new toy, eh?! Looking at the images and reading the texts I can guess what is going on, in Grandcour... The photographs seen here: what to say? Well, they are Gérald in great shape! They are admirable! They are pure joy for one's sensitiveness!

mitchell Posted August 21, 2007 Share #14 Posted August 21, 2007 I really enjoy the complexity of composition in the second shot. It keeps my eye moving and excited, and is at the same time satisfyingly right. Thanks, Mitchell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gverdon Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share #16 Posted August 22, 2007 Thanks for the comments. José, yes, Pete convinced me to buy a D2's backup. Actually, I rather find it is a complement and I wish the D2 could shot RAW or manage low light like it... Anyway, toy or not, it produces photographs and that's the most interesting part in a camera. Cheers, Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I cover a motor racing event I have the both around my poor old neck, D2 on a short strap and V-Lux on a long one. I was comparing my V-Lux with my son's FZ-50 the other day, the physical shape of the body is quite different, I had assumed that they were the same carcass with a different set of electronic guts, but that's not the case.
