First photo taken with my new NX300M

With Samsung sensors there is a lot of detail in them there shadows.

Imagine what we could find in the Raw file:

All Rights to the OP. Adjusted in LR on OP's Jpeg file.

Look at the wheel hub on the car at lower left.

Amazing, imo, for Samsung's price-point.

Yes, simply amazing.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to take another today, in raw.

Didn't pumped light too much to cause a "nightly" feeling, but I will take these shadows in account this time.

Well no offense meant to RJ, but considering the time that the EXIF shows, that you capture the image, I prefer the original to RJ's attempt. It is jst too light RJ, the original has nice moody street lights. IMO of course, but YMMV.

Hi Allan,

My intent was not to change the mood of the shot, just to point out how much detail is captured by the Samsung sensor, and that shooting RAW would be useful, as my response to the OP's CC request.

Thank you.

You know, I still haven't got around to RAW in my NX's. I really should try it.

Ah, now I got what you said. Eight hours left for dusk, so I messed around with the JPG I had here, better now?

upped blacks and shadows. Still using JPG -_-

Yes, indeed.

I read a statement about how people view an image and it has proven to be 100% correct (imo).

To paraphrase it goes like this:

"When one looks at an image, whatever part of the image they are looking at the eye tries to focus on that part and the thought process to discern what is being viewed begins. This process continues for each and every glance a viewer makes toward the image, except when one of the locations cannot be discerned (due to no info from the photo - a blotchy area, burned out, too dark), this stops the process and the viewer from further viewing of the image."

I hope you can get the drift of what the statement means to me by my poorly expressed words (which can easily be interpreted as 'mumbo jumbo').

Your second version enables me to view all parts of your image with the ability to discern that which I am looking at and that which you are expressing through your photography.

Hi Allan,

It is easy.

Just shoot Raw + Jpeg ( or P mode with Raw + Jpeg for the Auto route), and when you download your shoot, create a new folder inside your shoot's folder and label it RAW.

Group all items in the maing folder by type then drag the Raw files to your RAW folder. ( I know you know all this but I am just posting the process for new comers).

You don't have to bother with the Raw until you want to.

And when you do, Just open LR, select the Raw folder you want and you will be amazed at the 'power' Raw PP via LR (and DXO) gives you over your captures.

I always shoot RAW + Jpeg and using this file system, I have many shoots where I never needed to bother with the Raw files. Periodically I purge those I know I will not want to archive.

As they say 'Try it, you'll like it'.

Have a good day.
