The All New More and More Fun With Digital M Images

Re: More and more fun with M8 images

Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful photo, and I assumed there was a reason for the framing. Interesting also to see the original shot.

This is obviously one of the philosophical sides of photography: how long is a photographer able and/or willing to go to get a shot. It's so easy to sit in an armchair days or months later an regret or criticise, a photo taken under circumstances with an abundance of of limitations. On the other hand, getting around those limitations is often the decisive contribution to the process of making a great photo.

Oops, sorry, I haven't had much sleep this past few days, and I'm not as quick as I might be (not that I'm that quick ever). XC skier = Nordic Skier, as opposed to Alpine or Downhill skier.

Thanks much for the help with the replacement. And your criticism was/is appropriate and well taken. I think this forum must apply some sort of sharpening algorithm to the images, because those don't look quite as sharpened on my computer as they appear on the forum. I'm rethinking my processing as a result.

Only go 900 pixels at the widest point, anything wider and the software will create artifacts and crush it down to 900 pixels. I also suggest doing little sharpening for the web.

Couple of beauties. The image looks very clean for 1250. How did you process this?

Re: More and more fun with M8 images

Thanks Lloyd. Shot RAW, converted with ACR and converted to BW with Color Efex Pro 3. Resized to 900 wide and thats it. NO NR was applied in ACR.

Thanks Ed! That's Maggie after a swim. Headed into her 11th year and getting a little white in the face. I'm way too attached.
