'Tis the Last Rose of Summer
60mm macro
I was going to leave it there, but I also took some images with the SL and 24-90 lens (at 90mm
Both images were taken within a few minutes of each other, both on auto, and both with the same LR processing. Both are DNGs. The CL has a colour temperature of 5250ºK, the SL was 5550º; I changed this to 5250º.
I didn't intend to make identical images with both cameras; I was in more or less the same place, and at a similar distance from the flower both times. I don't get too hung up on exact, faithful colour fidelity most of the time, but the differences here surprised me. I'd say that the pink of the CL image is a bit too pink; normally, I'd try to tone this down a bit. What did surprise me is the cyanotic fringe in the SL image, I don't remember the flower having that. For me, the CL colour is more pleasing. (Both lenses have a UV filter, Leica UVa for the CL, Leica UVa II for the SL.) I can't go back to this particular bloom, for it's faded and gone.
Any thoughts?
