The HS-10 was a great on the trip. There is quite a learning curving with this camera. All images are run through SilkyPix. I found that reducing the in camera sharpening and contrast and processing in RAW works best for me. Thanks for looking.



















































 
Great series! I can hardly tell, which ones are my favs. Mabe #2 (colors!) or the clockwork.

The fire and the date of the shot tells something like midsomer celebration, right? One hour to midnight and not fully dark...

Indeed I am working nearly only with silkypix

Enjoyed it!

Very nice set of images, love the colours. I have got a camera arriving tomorrow with the BSI sensor. :P I'm looking forward to testing it against the EXR Sensor.

Beautiful pictures, lovely colors.

So, I'm assuming you shot everything in RAW?

Love the colored reflections on the water in the second one, and the cityscapes are dramatic.

But, has the Little Mermaid been moved and replaced with a sign???

Some really impressive architecture in there, oh and the pictures are nice as well! :)

You really found some great things to capture.
 
Acording to wikipedia:

The Copenhagen City Council decided to move the statue to Shanghai at the Danish Pavilion for the duration of the Expo 2010 (from May to October), the first time it had been moved from its perch since it was installed almost a century earlier.
 
I look forward to it also. I think you have an some interesting comments. I have to say that I was excited to purchase the camera. Then, after having it a month I regretted the purchase. Now, I really like the camera. The trick with the HS-10 is that is goes to extremes too easily. In the beginning, I was shooting at 24 or 720mm. The camera does not perform well on auto scene either for me. My favorite settings, much different that others, are:
Program or AE
100 or 400 Auto
Fine
Std Color

WB - no changes, I initially set R+2 or 3, Y-1, but it clipped the blue channel too much
Color mid
Tone Standard

Sharpness Standard - I used Hard for quite awhile, but is too much in many situations

The JPGs look good. Maybe a little blue, but Provia and Astia films are pretty blue in open shade. SilkyPix works nice to warm the white balance and sharpen a little.
 
Yes. All in Raw. The batch processing makes it pretty easy. I typically warm the white balance and sharpen. Maybe a little contrast.
 
Thanks for looking. The mermaid is in China. I have a bike for a day and rode over to the site anyway. A giant video screen showing the mermaid in China. Very post-modern.
 
You have a real photographer's eye. Lots of super shots there - the 9th one, the overview of the town with lots of sky to the horizon is probably my favorite of the bunch. People can argue about which camera is better or worse than another, but you illustrate the greater importance of the person behind the viewfinder. I really enjoyed what you posted. May I add that I am glad you posted them in color - I fail to see the value in 3/4 of the shots which are posted in b/w being done so. Your shots are colorful and a treat to the eyes.

These are very nice compositions.

I haven't considered using RAW until now because it looked like a lot of work. Whenever I compare a RAW to a JPEG even trying to get the colours to match is beyond me. The JPEG looks pretty accurate to my eye. Are you using the SilkyPix bundled with the camera? I had a quick play on my Mac and everything is terribly slow.

Regarding reducing in-camera sharpening and contrast, I had thought that this doesn't work with a RAW image and that you always get the same unadulterated output - just what the sensor sees. I'd appreciate clarification on this.

I'm willing to give RAW a try if it is as easy as you have experienced.
