Bixi Posted October 21, 2009 Share #46 Posted October 21, 2009 Hi! I'm still pretty new to the whole Rangefinder subject. But since I got my M9, I'm totally lost in love with my camera in the best possible way. On my website there are lots of M9 photographs. Thanks for looking.

piero Posted October 22, 2009 Share #47 Posted October 22, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Birgit, make sure you upload on your site higher resolution images. At the moment only pixelate images are viewable. it is a pity, since they seem very nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure what resolution I should upload my images to my website. I don't want to slow down my website because of too large fils. Any advice would be appreciated.

piero Posted October 22, 2009 Share #50 Posted October 22, 2009 Thank you for your advice dear Piero. I'm just not sure what resolution I should upload my images to my website. I don't want to slow down my website because of too large fils. Any advice would be appreciated. If you upload via Aperture or iPhoto, make sure you place the high resolution in its library, it will upload the quantity of information necessary for correct displaying and nothing more (provided you do not allow downloading of files via web page). Hope that helps! Cheers. Piero Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericperlberg Posted October 22, 2009 Share #51 Posted October 22, 2009 Thank you for your advice dear Piero. I'm just not sure what resolution I should upload my images to my website. I don't want to slow down my website because of too large fils. Any advice would be appreciated. Birgit, I had the same reaction, your images all showed major artifacts (those rectangular like shapes in the background or solid grey areas of your images. This could be the result of too low a resolution when making them jpgs and setting them up for the web or it could be because you're heavily cropping the images initially and then enlarging the crops. Assuming you're not cropping much and the images are pretty much as they come from the camera, I would think you could resize to the size you're using now (roughly 587x473) and convert to jpg using 80% qualiity which should result in file sizes of about 35kb each which is way small enough. I routinely make my web files 10x that size. In this day and age most people who would care have speedy broadband connections. It seems a shame to undervalue your work for the sake of the few who still have dialup connections. If these images are just small areas of crop out of a much larger image then that would cause a similar problem and unfortunately that will leave you with these artifacts. You've spent far too much money on your camera to go this route with your images. If you find yourself consistently cropping to only a fraction of the original image, use a narrower angle lens or get closer to your subject. All the best for your new camera!

Bixi Posted October 22, 2009 Share #52 Posted October 22, 2009 Dear Piero and Eric, Thank you both for your insight. Most of my photographs don't have hardly any cropping. I work with Lightroom. Then I import my images into iPhoto. And from iPhoto I bring them into iWeb. Maybe this isn't the best way to do things, but it works for me. I wasn't able to build my website with Lightroom. Somehow I couldn't make it work. Now I have to import my images in better resolution from LIghtroom into iPhoto. This will be my next project. Thanks again,Bixi 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piero Posted October 23, 2009 Share #53 Posted October 23, 2009 Dear Piero and Eric,..I work with Lightroom. Then I import my images into iPhoto. And from iPhoto I bring them into iWeb.... Thanks again,Bixi when you export from Lr, make sure you are exporting full size Jpeg, 300 dpi, into the iPhoto library. That's all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicakillen Posted October 26, 2009 Share #54 Posted October 26, 2009 Here is a very nice review of the M9 by a professional photographer, however in Swedish, sorry....Very high remarks for low ISO performance, better than Canon EOS-1 Ds Mk3 85/1,8. Similar results at ISO 1250 for "kind" motives Leica vs Canon. http://pdf.yfo.se/Banumtest_Leica_M9.pdf /Anders Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrice Posted November 2, 2009 Share #55 Posted November 2, 2009 Hi Anders, thanks for the link. Modern Canon DSLR's have the following ISO increments; 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 All other settings are software manipulations of the results achieved at other ISO's and do not achieve the same DR or noise characteristics as the whole ISO steps. I'll trust Sean Reid's comparison to the 5D Mark II moreso. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppyman Posted November 21, 2009 Share #60 Posted November 21, 2009 Andreas, I've only had my camera a few days and have just a handful of shots posted so far. I have a large sample shot available here from the M9 with the APO SUMMICRON 75 mm ASPH at minimum focus distance. This is cropped but not resized and converted to a jpg for file size reasons. It is a large file of 3MB but may be of interest. No words, just the best M9 review I can think of.
