Thanks for looking Wouter, I think I'm going to have to play around with my PP for that particular site ( everytime I look at the image it seems worse, and only bears a passing resemblance to the file on my pc). The shot was taken at 400 iso, and -0.7 eV.T
@Paul: Thanks for sharing your photograph. I think it is very good in combination to the grainy feel. What ISO did you use? Looks great in B&W. For getting the feel of sharpness you could do an extra sharpening after you resized the photo for webpublishing.
I'll keep practicing with the PP That DP1 is looking good though?Thank you for your answer Paul. Good luck with the PP-ing.
Hi PaulI'll keep practicing with the PP That DP1 is looking good though?
Here's another go.................
From the Sunday market at Chiang Mai. Is it too dark or contrasty?Paul.
Welcome Kiri! Congrats with your GX100.
Like many small sensor cameras the GX100 has huge depth of field. Unlike SLR cameras you will get sharp images from front to end with aperture of f4. I would suggest you leave the camera in aperture priority (A mode) and set an aperture of f4.6. Choose a exposure compensation of -0.3 to avoid (most of the) clipping of the highlights.
Try experimenting with the MY 1 and MY 2 settings to save your preferred settings. And when you feel comfortable with switch to RAW.
Regarding B&W conversion I suggest you make your photographs in colour first and convert them in PP. A great way for creating B&W filmlooks in Photoshop is with Channel Mixer. On the website Petteri's Pontifications you can see several RGB settings for the Channel Mixer (don't forget to select Monochrome). With a Curves adjustment layer you can add more or less contrast to your photographs. But in Photoshop there are so many way's to create B&W photographs and there are many tutorials on the web.
Cheers,
:thumbs: Congrats! Have fun and share some of your first results.WELL, i finally made a decision between the GRD and the GX100.
I went for the GX100 for its zoom, "MY Settings" and shooting in 1:1 format.
I bought it yesterday from Jessops (uk) as thats the cheapest prices ive found PLUS they offer a 3 year no quibbles warranty for only £40. If anything goes wrong with the camera in that time or even if i drop it, i'll get it fixed or a new one in return. nice deal they have!
Anyway, no sooner had i charged the battery and put it in i realised that the language had already been set - very strange ..... then as i continue to flick through the manual, i find a train ticket for a month ago in there!!!!
It seems the camera has been on its holidays before i had it! lol.
So phoned up the shop today, the assistant manager couldnt be more appologetic and told me to bring the camera in and he'd get me a new one within a day. he's also offered some Print discount vouchers or a discount off the camera. I already got £25 off the price by using an online voicher code . SO any more money off would be very nice. Might try and wangle getting a 4gig card rather than the "money off prints" vouchers as i dont do prints.
I'll stress the case that im a good customer of theirs - spending about £20-30+ a week on getting films developed and scanned.
On sunday night on ebay i bought myself a lens for my GX100.
It's a 16mm Nikon WC-E68 Wide angle lens that i will be able to fit to the camera via the HA-2 adaptor and a step-up ring.
I'm soooooo looking forward to getting the two married together
hopefully by the end of the week!
