I like the end result here better Dennis, it's "natural" without being garish from the Vivid setting, and not flat as from the "I am trying to be a film shot" setting.

Perfect.

What I should do is muck with mine a bit, find a JPEG setting that gives me "what I want", without having to resort to DNG/LR gymnastics, for the quick and dirty shots I want to take.

Thank you Gary!  Yes, indeed,  if we can find an in-camera jpeg setting which suits our shooting style 80% of the time, then we can save our DNG/LR time for other activities, hehe!

Gary,

Here is an example of what we were discussing:  (left photo - DNG - exposure was increased, contrast was increased - exported to JPEG in LR)  - (right photo - in-camera jpeg)

Yes, a significant difference, but perhaps each on it's own would look just fine.

 

to me, the left hand shot is a tad blue/green perhaps.

 

The right hand a tad dark, and I think that iff lightened, it might be the pick.

 

But then again, you need to be there and know what the colours were like at the time.

 

Either is nice, on their own.

Crikey Tony, they're sharp for sure. They almost look HDR, are they?

Having had my nose in film of late they are certainly different.

Cracking shot the first one, but I'm left wondering if you could have taken it without the fence in the foreground. Nit-picking I know.

Hi Gary, yes I did apply a little hdr/structure/red filter etc. It was a quick grab shot while sitting in the car waiting for the traffic lights,so couldn't avoid the railings. I agree though,without would be an improved image. I'm here for a couple of weeks,so may get another chance. I'm also using my M2 and Leica Standard while here so hope to have some film shots to show in a few weeks. Tony.

[gbealnz]

Great. I didn't want to be critical as they really are cracking shots.

 

I'll wager they will make the film shots look average to say the least.

Wounded warrior fund raising event in D.C.

 

 

Many disabled persons expressed their own support to wounded warriors and helped to raise money for them. It was an extremely touching event in D.C. and  I very much hesitated to take any shot until I had some conversations with few of these wonderful and courageous people, and encouraged to shoot.

 

They all told me their strong desire to be treated like any other so called "able" people; the reason why I am allowing myself to post some of these shots here.

 

Leica T + Nikkor 85 mm, f/1.8

I disagree, sorry. To my eyes the railings/fence added something to the composition even if blurred. Makes for an interesting photo. Very good one, btw.

Gary,

Here is an example of what we were discussing: (left photo - DNG - exposure was increased, contrast was increased - exported to JPEG in LR) - (right photo - in-camera jpeg)

Between these two shots, I can see on the left one there is more detail in the shadows. I might take the right one and lighten the darks or up the shadows a bit, if you want to bring those out. Good photos either way. And, was this also taken with Summicron R 50? A great lens, I have really old version I sometimes use. Edited May 15, 2017 by billinghambaglady

Sorry that I did not mention the lens which was used to take this photo... this photo was taken by 28mm Elmarit-R

Here is another jpeg vs.  dng photo - taken by T + 28mm Elmarit-R - top photo is in-camera jpeg & bottom photo is dng - DNG has more details in the shadows as expected:

Three entirely different views Tony, the first is stunning, and the third is very nice, a great angle.
