Philinflash Posted September 20, 2007 Share #21 Posted September 20, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) ... Attached is a portrait I took of a friend of mine at ISO 3200 with a canon 5D and 135mm f/2 lens at 1/25th of a second - hand held. I was very impressed with it but would have liked more. ... Eric, that is a great shot regardless of hardware. It would be interesting to see if you can top that with an M8. But are you implying you were using just ambient light and no flash? If so, I am doubly impressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoskeptic Posted September 21, 2007 Share #23 Posted September 21, 2007 Tom Olsen, I realy, realy like your shot. One of the best in recent memory. (OK, at my age the memory is in question), but still a truly inspiring image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OK, at my age the memory is in question), but still a truly inspiring image. Ha, ha! Thank you, John. I have been photographing for so long I can remember, - but have forgotten how long that is. Should be some 45 years soon. But I have far less experience with 'fumbling about' with PS. I see this photo of the twin towers in Kuala Lumpur is far better handled in PS. Especially sharpening.

mustafasoleiman Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share #26 Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks a lot, Roger and Jon, The light just was like that and with a M8 with a WATE mounted on it was an easy take. Here's another. From the habour of Helsinki with this ex light ship, now restaurant. The dramatic sky turned into a hell of a rainfall which I was sure was going to drown the M8. It didn't. That sky is really scary... it looks as if it's about to fall down by its sheer weight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you say something about USM settings that you are using when shooting with M8 and presenting pictures on the Net like this? Hi: I use no sharpening or 25% in CS3. Then I use the "save for web..." option, but I'm no expert believe me! In fact, for the towers, I started with a 20MB .tiff to get a 1MB .jpg - for sending to some friends; then downsized again using CS3 (save for web...) to post on the forum. I'm sure there are better options. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you say something about USM settings that you are using when shooting with M8 and presenting pictures on the Net like this? Well the images are originally DNG, imported in Aperture and colours slighty cleaned up in CS3. Then exported from Aperture for this site by saving them as small jpegs of less than 200k.

leicashot Posted September 22, 2007 Share #34 Posted September 22, 2007 AdiM: Remarkably steady hand. Much better then 1600 film. DR You can't tell that just by looking at a 640px image on screen....some people are way to gullible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are better options. Jon I prefer to use no or little sharpening on files from my M8. I don't have this hefty CS3, but the LE version. I use this and the P1. I have turned off all sharpening in the camera - done the same on my 1Ds II - but while the latter's files needs a lot of sharpening the M8 files seens to me 'natural sharp'.
