twittle Posted September 11, 2009 Share #142 Posted September 11, 2009 "Film, especially Kodachrome, is for cave-dwellers who refuse to walk out of their caves to meet the rest of the world" *Snort* Shows what you know; Kodachrome is too slow to shoot in a cave... And that "shortcoming" notwithstanding, it's still more pleasing to the eye than any digital, bar none. Not that digital doesn't have its merits, of course.

rob_x2004 Posted September 11, 2009 Share #143 Posted September 11, 2009 Mitch, most people dont. Additionally if you try to upload an oversize file it will sometimes take if it is just over the limit, but quite often it will part load and the result is the ninety k files you see, with the softness. Most people know that as well. It takes nothing to work out. And it takes three seconds to create a link. Takes me about three seconds to create a thumbnail.

Bo_Lorentzen Posted September 11, 2009 Share #144 Posted September 11, 2009 YEAH... Århus, den gamle by osv.... the swimming hall where I learned to swim, the water was soo full of chlorine that in today's world I would have been worried hopping in. Toke, great shots, clearly the camera is a huge step forward, seems the pixels quality if about the same as the m8 just more of them. and its full-frame, I want to use my 50 more again... but apparently have to wait for them to clear customs here..? The important things, full frame, lots of rez for casual cropping, and less noise, the shots looks great. Don't know whats so hard to see about this. It would be great if it was identical to the M8 with just full frame, but we got more dots and less noise. that is all the important check marks on my want list. .

stunsworth Posted September 11, 2009 Share #145 Posted September 11, 2009 Rob, most people link 300-500KB files from other sites and get more clarity than some of these pictures Sorry Mitch, most people don't, or if they do they shouldn't. Andreas has asked that people do not do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Adobe camera Raw CS3 to open... 16mm tri selected in the menu. I think the choice of software matters, but I only have the Adobe CS3. Welcome, dear visitor!

ammitsboel Posted September 11, 2009 Share #149 Posted September 11, 2009 It still seems that Leica does better B&W photos than color photos. I don't know what it is, but Canon's colors are just better. The digital Leica colors are very bad IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toke Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share #150 Posted September 11, 2009 ammitsboel I don't agree. Theese two last shots was with 15mm Voigtländer. NOT Leica glass. When I use Leica 28, 35, 50mm asph the colors, saturation, sharpness and contrast is better than my Canon gear.....(which I like...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be getting better sharpness and contrast to your taste, but the colors looks lesser than Canon's colors IMO. It can't be texture since Leica's B&W photos look great, it must be some kind of noise happening when you shoot in color or maybe just the tint of the lense and sensor. The color rendering of modern Leica lenses are very different from the ones that made Leica popular in the beginning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMB Posted September 11, 2009 Share #154 Posted September 11, 2009 For heavens sake. Post at thumbnail or a 200k file if you have to with a link to a large file somewhere else, dont link the megafile here. If people dont understand enough to do that theres probably no point looking at what they are doing anyway. Mitch your advice is off the planet. May be you can explain how to do that rather than ranting about other people's internet posting skill, which have nothing to do with their photographic skills.

I'm not talking about being happy when you do either, I'm talking about if you really do like the outcome. I'm pretty sure there is some kind of fault in those photos.

okram Posted September 11, 2009 Share #159 Posted September 11, 2009 My M8 colors are as accurate than my 5D2- You just need to learn to use RAW converter, its profiles and adjust as pleases you. Try Lightroom 2.4 Camera Default M8 profile- it is as good as C1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 11, 2009 Share #160 Posted September 11, 2009 Mitch, most people dont. Additionally if you try to upload an oversize file it will sometimes take if it is just over the limit, but quite often it will part load and the result is the ninety k files you see, with the softness. Most people know that as well. It takes nothing to work out. And it takes three seconds to create a link. Takes me about three seconds to create a thumbnail. Embedding a meg download in a thread is inconsiderate, ends up with mods canning images outside the picture forum which helps no one. Steve is correct about the hosting and the bandwidth issues. In my opinion 240kb is a good compromise that allows a reasonable sized image to be shown at a decent quality. I resize my images to 960 wide and make the 235kb and have no problem with soft images on the forum. Huge files linked through from other sites make for a more difficult forum experience for users, especially the large number of us who now use mobile devices to access. People that post gratuitous large images in threads for no good reason, mean that technical threads that don't need images take a lot of bandwidth to download onto iPhones, etc. Not everyone has fast broadband and not everyone is looking at the forum on a decent sized screen. Images in the non-photo sub-sections of the forum are fine, IF they illustrate a pertinent point related to the topic of the thread. They are not fine if they are just there because you like them. Posting images that are not relevant is likely to lead to them being removed. That's why we have a rule about the size of image, and that's why we have a separate Photo section for photographs. I hope that this is clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
