First time out with GX100

[lrcphoto]

Hi ...

Bought a GX100 a week ago and we went away for a weekend break. Some great skies on Sunday evening. The wife had her medium format gear, tripod, spot meter etc .... I'd left dslrs at home and just took the GX100 Shot raw with a quick first pass of pp.

Edit: I've did a bit of pp to make the forum versions look more like the originals on monitor & printer here.

Regards, Roman

Hmmm ...
I'm on a mac so the browser is colour managed but the shots seem to lack "sparkle" compared to originals. I used imagewell to downsize then converted from adobe to srgb with preview. Perhaps I need to use PS (?). Any tips appreciated ... i'm fairly new to the digital world.

Unfortunately, I don't have any idea about what to do with them on MAC. But I think they are ideal candidates for BW and reduced-color photos! I hope you will don't mind, I played a little with the last one ..


Both results are heavily affected by the JPG artifacts, because of small and already compressed source image. But I hope you will find them inspiring? Processed with Mediachance Photobrush and its built-in effect filters (DCEnhance, Contrast saturation, BW Mixer and USM).

Hi Pavel

Yes ... b+w is interesting and I'll be doing some more pp when I have the time (at work at the moment).
Re my earlier post ... it looks like the downsizing softens and reduces vibrance/saturation/contrast a bit so need to do a bit of pp before posting.
