I get more attention from her if I use a loud and big camera.So, I guess she prefers the M8.2? I will find out sometime what my daughter prefers (right now she is just 11 weeks old, and knows the sound of the M8), but the 54LV is still some time away for me. Maybe once I am moved (looking for a new apartment), it will be time to look at it again.
This looks like a launch pad for Evil Kneivel <grin>Just playing around with some P25 images and trying a few things in C1.
I still love stuff from the 16 meg CFV ... even cropped it does fine ... here's one done this weekend in the early AM as it started to snow. I went to the Franklin common near our home where we spend time during warm summer days ... to capture a pictorial view in Winter for a Calendar project depicting our little town.Thanks Jeff. Interesting comment and something Jack and i have been talking about. There is something about the P25 9 micron sensor that I really like and as Jack described it , I think maybe the best description of it. Here is what we wrote to LJ saying the same thing.
Jack thinks it has something to do with inter-pixel contrast and total dynamic range. Which in effect is clarity and Jack has noticed that if he pumps up the clarity on the P45 by about 10 or 15 points and adds a little contrast ( which takes away from total dynamic range he gets a similar look) But the hard fact is the 9 micron is friendlier to most MF lenses and he thinks that is what the issue is.
I agree with his comments on this. There is something the P25 does with the clarity from the 9 micron sensor that I don't see in the 39 and 31 sensors. Simply put it has bite to the files. I tend to think this is the difference between 9 micron sensors VS the small Micron sensors.
When I do uprez i actually do that in C1 to the Raw. Many times I will go 125 percent in C1 for the larger files size than if i need more than Cs4. But i do start that process in C1 which i think it is better to uprez at the time of processing.
I feel your pain man. When I first got here, I turned on my flash (they are 100-240V, 50-60hz), and expected everything to be fine. It seemed like the modeling light was kind of bright though, as I only had the flash on a low setting, and it was on proportional, I pressed "full" to turn it on to full power (very dumb), and BOOM, the light blows out. Luckily it did not explode. It turns out that while the flash works fine on international power, you need to replace the modeling light. I suppose I should have RTFM...4 lights in each shot and 1 Elinchrom mono went down on me ,maybe flash tube blew. Turned it on and small amount of smoke,not promising.
