I'm with Cindy here, Osman. Great series and subject, but this first one... wow.I was lucky to be around with 28 cron The Day Aurora Came to Town. Overpowering and elegant, she brought a Felliniesque ambiance to the hectic Galata waterfront. Hope you enjoy watching them as much as I did while shooting.
Best,
Osman
Very nice!! I like the touches of color in the clouds in that first one, and the next to last is a winner!M8, ISO1250, Voigtänder 15mm Super Wide Heliar f4.5. A bit of touch up with Viveza

precisely! i got the isolation, but sharpness was gone. proof, alas, that my 35 needs to go in the shop again... so i softened it even more with some of Jeff Ascough's actions.But that isn't sharp, Cam. Exactly why it looks great.
Thanks guys.
For these particular shots, I pumped up saturation in LR on purpose for effect (bright clear skies tend to look better with saturation pumped).
When the shot includes skin, then I keep saturation more constrained.
Here's an example of one of the architecture shots above.
First the more neutral (contrained) version (Vibrance -1; Saturation -10):
And then the "pumped up" version (Vibrance +8; Saturation +2):
Here's an example of skin tones (Vibrance 0; Saturation -7):
I agree with Roger that I am generally getting higher saturation in my M9 files than I had in my M8 files. Especially in the Reds. And I'm using the ChromaSoft color profile for the M9, which was carefully calibrated on a MacBeth chart.
Notice how deep the pink car is in the last shot, even with Saturation dialed down to minus 7. The skin tones are accurate.
Lloyd - I'm doing my B&W conversions in LR. I outlined the procedure in this post #118 of this thread:

HI RogerMike
I shot a Hands On Atlanta event with my daughter and the company tee shirts are all bright RED . I will post a few when I have my files on line. I find if the red gets over saturated that going to the camera calibration sliders ......shift the hue between 4-8 toward yellow and desaturate the red by the same 4-8 range works . This keeps the blues and other colors like K25 without roasting the skin tones.
ZM 21 f2.8 and 28 Cron. Shot mainly at f5.6Mike:
What lens (lenses) on those Pajaro Dunes shots?
Thanks.
