Hi John, For sure, there are no rules :-) The good thing is that after a while, your taste might change and one is able to process "old" files differently. Allow me to comment ( and differ) :-)...

Forgot to mention, I do "recognise" the use of "clarity". I did tend to (over)use clarity often. In some case I still do, depending the topic. I intend to go to India as well and off course, it's...

I like the interaction with the people, composition ... One can discuss post-processing, but I like to "see" the potential ... these would make great B&W shots. Thank you for...

Thank you John for the helpful info. I still need the time to focus properly with my M6, guess I have to practice more often. At times I just estimate how far certain objects are situated, adjust...

Would like to know as well if it's your post-processing or my laptop screen for the sky being this "turquois" ?

Same here, I'd love the X100s to be a x100 with improved handling ( Q-menu and fast start-up is already ok for me) but not if the output is less pleasing. I was able to take some nice pictures with...

Ciao Mauro, M9/M9-P's with warranty and lightly used at 3000 - 3300 Euro ? That's "cheap" !

I did wonder why no one did mention "HDR" ( distracted by the "bicycle" ?) before. Good thing about wide dynamic range is retaining details but recovering them often results in a HDR "look"....

Unable to check this right now but I reckon (at least) ISO 800 !?

Lovely !!!!!  Wide open I assume ?

Using auto DR200% will result in Raw files that are 1 stop underexposed, using auto DR400% results in 2 stop underexposed Raw files ! Did you already changed your settings !? :-)

I like the rimlights, the cross ... Nice !

Problem is that there are waiting lists, people just can't buy a M as they please, therefore second hands M9's are not as available and "cheap" as they "should" be :-)

Worth trying ! Thank you !

I don't think this workflow is feasable ( unless you take pictures of landscapes ...) Nothing wrong with Auto DR ! Capturing a high Dynamic range scene in one shot is great ! But it will not give...

Interesting !! I have no experience with SilkyPix ... can you confirm that Raw files are not underexposed when you open them in Silkypix ? Or if they do look underexposed, can you retain details in...

Unfortunately, the DR Auto affects BOTH !!!! I kinda see DR Auto as a great way to shoot great (Jpeg) pictures, you'll be using on the internet and for small prints. If you want to obtain large...

I'd offer the same advice, shooting RAW, stick to DR100%. Unfortunately, selecting the DR affects the Raw file as well and DR400% results in a Raw file that is heavily underexposed. In order to...

Bob, I assume you mention "autoiso" in order to make sure you obtain a certain min. shutter speed !? Not as "part" of zone-focus/Hyperocal technique ! :-)

Very nice ! I like the exposure ! Do you use exposure lock while exposing  for the dog/road, excluding the (bright) background and next composing n shooting ?
