Thank you, David. You have made very good use of one of my favorite lenses, the 18mm Super-Elmar.
WATE?!
Ha ha..I wish! No, Leica sent me this to check out for two weeks and then I will sadly have to return it. I would love to own it though. Maybe one day.
These are really great. I, also, like the in-focus ferry and the OOF foreground in the first photo. What the heck is that pink stuff in the second photo? Are they pillows, or, cotton candy? do you have cotton candy in Istanbul? Good capture. Cheers.
Thanks Helen. Two stops plus and minus exposure bracketing and combined in Photomatix Pro. Handheld - Photomatix does a good job of aligning layers. I generally don't do HDR - I don't care for flattened out look that most people end up with, but I use the non-HDR "photo fusion" feature in photomatix and then use a curves or levels layer in Photoshop to make the image less HDR looking.
Excellent photo, Matt. The B&W works especially well there.
I've been quite pleased with the in-camera b/w most of the time as well. (Doesn't hurt to have nice subjects to shoot either.
)
Hey SeyhunBebert, thanks for the photos. Very beautiful photos.
I used to have the CV15mm, and had lots of color changes on the sides and corners. (M8) I had no oppurtunity of coding it, so I had to sell. You seem to be more lucky.
On the contrary, I still have my CV12mm, and even without coding, it gives much less problems. Here is a sample from Rome, Spanish steps: (no corrections applied incl. for vignetting. But of course it's taken with an M8 not FF M9)
I always wonder why the wider lens has less problems for me.
Seyhun
