OK, I've lurked long enough. What's TR?I'm obviously deranged; it's almost 3:30AM here...and just to show how deranged, here's a slightly desaturated color version (though TR pretty much nailed it, IMO):
Welcome, JDivila. Your shots are great. I love your style. I recently chose the GX-100 also. I use Lightroom and C1v4 to process (C1v4 for B+W JFI profiles), someone else will step in and answer your Lightzone question, I'm sure.Hello all,
This my first time posting to your forum but not my first time visiting. I have read ALLOT of your discussions and found them to be most valuable. So I would like to say thanks right off the bat for helping me decide witch camera to purchase with both informative and stimulating conversation.
I like many others were torn btwn the GX100, D-Lux or GR2 and well.........Price became a factor and found a incredible deal I could not pass up. Soooo I bought the GX100 and so far so good.
That being said I do have a question about PP. I started using LightZone (trial version) to do my pp and found that It took allot of time to load images and a ridiculous amount of time do do any task. So much so I had to stop working with RAW:angry:
Is this the case with the full version of LightZone?
I realize it is customary to post some shots so here are a couple I took out and about in Manhattans subway. After opening it up at home I realized the guy on the right is looking at himself in 10 years
I think your exposure was just fine. If you would have pushed the histogram to the right, you would have blown the sky. The only thing you could have done is to put the camera on a tripod, take 2 (or more) exposures, and then blended the exposures. That is not always possible.I surely could have done better, but I think it's nearly impossible to get the both dark area around the water to be noise free (and visible) and keep the dramatic sky. But this exercise showed how much can be achieved despite of this. So thanks a lot to everybody. IT's been a great starting point for learning new techniques.
It looks really great! :thumbup:It's based on the platinum style, but I selected two different colours for the highlight and shadow tones...
Really Lovely WillLightZone used here - hope you like it!
Kind Regards
