2 weeks with X1D

[kchae]

I've been testing out X1D here in Seoul past few weeks. I'm still getting used to it but I think I'm getting better each day.

Some more pictures and my thoughts, I detailed in my blog, if anyone's interested.

Long story short though, I love it, despite its many setbacks. I see a great potential in it. Hope to share more images with you guys as time goes by. =)

Cheers!

Jut my two cents:

To my eye, your images look disturbingly oversaturated. Is that something about camera and its firmware, or about post-processing?

You may want to join the "Fun with X1D" thread here. I enjoyed reading your blog post. Keep up the good work.

My signature style is getting strong colors in my images. I don't think it's 'disturbing', but I understand everyone has different taste. X1D does a good job at capturing, and enabling amplification of colors. But obviously my works are not 'as-shot' images. Thanks for your thoughts. =)

your saturation slider must be stuck at +50-100

nice pics but a bit to colorful for my taste

congratz on the camera

Thanks for posting some examples. I think that you have a good, solid signature in the way that you take and post-process you photographs. This makes each image look like it is part of the complete collection - I like that rather than having a mish-mash of styles in a collection.

It is good to see that the X1D will produce images with plenty of color in reserve for when the need arises.

Also enjoyed seeing part of Seuol through your eyes (andd the X1D) - somewehere that I know very little about.

If you only have two cents I suggest you keep them to yourself until they add up to something of worth.

You are of course allowed to offer critique on someone's photos, but calling them 'disturbingly oversaturated' was uncalled for.

Hi,
You can see the colors the camera can produce in the "fun with the x1d" tread.
About the "disturbingly oversaturated" this could help https://www.calm.com/
Maybe the blues are too intense and they will not work on you, but is what I have.

Jokes apart, it's an artistic choice, they may not most faithfull representation of reality, but they are, to me, very beautiful.
They have this painterly quality to them. Not my style when I do the capture, but I appreciate the art.

Best regards,
