DP Merrill color Landscapes

DP1 Merrill, f/8 at 1/80, Handheld ​



My first time shooting a Merrill; definitely a learning curve in the sun!
I ordered a viewfinder today for quick compositions in the sun and will shoot mostly on a tripod. Ordered the lens hood as well.
I have been looking to get into a smaller line of cameras as I shoot MF and tire of all the bulk.
I sure do hope Sigma comes out with a bigger Foveon sensor in the future.
I bought the DP1 used after I rented it as a teaser. :)

I don't think you are going to be disappointed.

As long as you use it within it's operating window and don't try to make it into something it's not.

Happy shooting.

Here's a few more.

Been a while since I could post anything as I had reached the allocation limit.

I really like the pictures that have been posted in this thread and want to thank all the people who have taken the time to post. I've learned a lot from them and it helped convince me into buying one. Here's a shot from a few weeks ago.

A dry streambed in Boulder Colorado before the flood. With the Dp3 Merrill.

Although I have the '2' and the '3' I'm finding I use the '3' for landscapes most, something a little more pleasing about the perspective it gives and if I want a wider angle of view then theres always PT Gui... Heres a couple from this weekend, the end of the monsoon here in Mumbai providing some nice moody skies.... Both DP3M.

The composition from both is very pleasing.
Though they are different elements within the frame, yet it conveys a sense of simplicity in those shots.:thumbup:

Last weekend I visited my "backyard" mountain, the Roßkogel. I had my new companions, the DP1m and the DP3m, with me and had a lot of fun. Especially the autumn colors where stunning.
The picture was made with the DP1m, processed with SPP and post-processed with Lightroom/Photoshop.
While it was pure fun to use the DPm's I had again some weird green color cast in the sky. I got rid of it in post-processing, but it wasn't that easy. I suppose the polarizer and ND grad filter, which I used together, intensified this effect.

Thank you The Ute.
Here another one from a lake called "Kogelsee" in the "Lechtaler Alpen" (Tirol, Austria).

Again shot with the Sigma Dp1m in combination with a polarizer and a ND-grad-filter and 3 frames for dynamic range.
