This is Mr. Mike Maddux with the Austin Piazzolla Quintet. Welcome, dear visitor!

kcnarf Posted January 14, 2013 Share #364 Posted January 14, 2013 Dear Otto F., please promptly inform us on this forum re your pending experiment with a skylight kr 1.5 filter for proper M Monochrom rendering of skin tone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samir Jahjah Posted January 14, 2013 Share #366 Posted January 14, 2013 Didn't meet issues yet, but I agree with Jamie Roberts who said somewhere in this forum that the skintones are too dark. In my experience they are systematically 1 stop too dark and a yellow filter does not seem to do enough to compensate this. My next experiment will be a skylight filter, the KR 1.5 I read about this and I don't find it an issue at all... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 14, 2013 Share #367 Posted January 14, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tri - That's lovely. I suspect the music was Argentinian and perhaps tange flavored, which uses accordians, not to mention the great Argentine musician Astor Piazzolla.

I suspect the music was Argentinian and perhaps tange flavored, which uses accordians, not to mention the great Argentine musician Astor Piazzolla. Indeed, you are absolutely correct! They did play a lot of piece by that great musician/composer/bandoneonist. This band's members are in the 20's, except for the bandoneonist, are so talented in spite of their young age. The pianist wrote some beautiful pieces that were performed as well. It was quite a treat to Ann and me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted January 14, 2013 Share #369 Posted January 14, 2013 Ok! Don't expect miracles though Samir, kcnarf: Maybe I was too extreme in my statement. I see it in daylight situations and not in artificial light situations. Thus far (two weeks) ! But I am fully aware that there is a lot to discover at the MM, which cannot be defined as 'issues'. You really have to expose to the right with the MM, more so than with the M9. This is not due to lightmeter artefacts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not due to lightmeter artefacts Did you say this backwards? Exposure to the right is much less important on the MM, with the lower noise floor, and much more hazardous with the single channel highlight threshold.

Exposure to the right is much less important on the MM, with the lower noise floor, and much more hazardous with the single channel highlight threshold. This may be a matter of taste but I find some posts from the Monochorome here a bit greyish, like for instance the first post in this thread. This can be resolved by exposing 'as right as' possible and binding up the histogram with Levels. I'm not talking about noise here, but about tonal scale.

This can be resolved by exposing 'as right as' possible and binding up the histogram with Levels. I'm not talking about noise here, but about tonal scale.Just a matter of processing or aesthetic choice. The out-of-camera DNG can often be very close, even in difficult light, to the final image as in the first picture below; the second one required only an increase in contrast: Summicron-28 | ISO 3200 Colombo Summicon-28 | ISO 8000 Dambulla —Mitch/Bangkok Bangkok Hysteria (download link for book project) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colint544 Posted January 16, 2013 Share #375 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) I've had my M Monochrom since the beginning of September, and I never go anywhere without it. I loved the files from my M9-P (I'm not a wealthy man - I had to trade that in against the MM), but, for me, the MM is in a different league. Especially when you nudge the ISO up. I think the trick with the MM is to get the exposure right. When you nail the exposure, the files simply sing. I've got the exposure wrong at 640 ISO, and the end result is unremarkable. It's so much harder to fix in post. I shot this picture last Thursday in an unbelievably dark bar in Glasgow, at night. Everything was garishly coloured in red and blue. I dropped down to 1/30th of a second, f1.4, and ISO 3200. This is a majorly downsized jpeg (and a pretty vicious crop) but, trust me - the raw file from it is astonishing. The MM is a very expensive camera, and I'm sure it's overpriced, but I, for one, am just happy that somebody was bold enough to build it. If you keep it with you at all times, now and again you'll snap a picture that makes it all worthwhile. Best wishes all, Colin Welcome, dear visitor!
