Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images

David:

Wonderful images of Seattle with your M9. Can't wait to get mine. I only had an M8 when I was in Seattle last month. It's gone now and I just have my trusty D-Lux 4 while I wait for my new M9 which is coming any day now...right? Here's a reminder of the Pike Place flowers...an M9 would really do them justice, huh, David? Boy, can't wait, like I said. How's that for pressure, David? LOL

Please note the official "Mike Hatam" frame. So, what do you think of me now?

All very nice. I particularly like these two. Good detail, but clean enough to hold interest on the main subject. Good work.

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images

Was driving down a 2 lane highway today doing 50-60MPH. Saw this scene out of my window, raised my M9 and 35 Cron set to infinity and shot. Cropped about 1.4 inch from the top and bottom as I had to fix the crooked horizon.

I was so shocked to see this quality because of the speed I was driving. In any case, I took about 10 other images out of my window with the same result, but liked this one the best.

I already had someone say I was full of BS so next time I will have my son video me shooting out of my window with my iphone as proof! Ha ha...

Gotta love the 35 cron.

Pretty impressive, Steve. Just out of curiosity, did you Tone Map that shot? The clouds have a little of that HDR or Tone Mapped look?

Thanks Lloyd,
To bring out the clouds I used the Shadow/Highlight feature in CS3.

HI Steve - lovely shot . . . but whether you should be shooting when driving is a moot point :p

However - it seems to me that the shadow / highlight on the clouds has affected the top of the trees, with dark edges around the outside leaves. Perhaps I only notice this because sometimes I'm guilty of it too:ROTFL:

It doesn't much matter at web size, but I guess you'd have to use a different strategy for printing.

Love the last of the halloween shots :thumbup:

Thanks Jono!

Yea, I see what you mean on the trees. Sometimes, I go way overboard in my PP and I always tell myself to tone it down, and I don't! if I were to ever print this, I would take a different, less dramatic route. I must say though, you are the KING of the CLOUDS!

Well, of course, I never do any PP at all, our clouds are just ......like ......that . . . . . . . :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

Hi Drama always works - even with people who say the don't like it (just like over-saturation).

I must say, for this kind of stuff, I've found Vivezza to be very effective, and a little more subtle that CS

I am going to have to break down and give Vivezza a try. Lots of great feedback I am hearing. Thanks again!

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images

A couple of "available darkness" pics from this weekend's wedding. A 1880s building in a small Michigan town, with a storage room above the reception area lit by 2 dim lights on extension cords.

M9 @ ISO 800. Wider shot with "exit" sign done with a 28/2 ASPH @ f/2, others all done with a 50/0.95 @ f/0.95.
