Alright - what did you shoot...
5

...over the past few weeks with your M camera(s)? C'mon all of you M Homies, let's see "wat yer gots" with your photographic weapons!

I'll start off by saying that my wife now carries the M10 around with her as much as possible. I convinced her that doing anything for a month or so eventually constitutes a habit (kind of wish that would occur with sex also, but noooooooo - not for her, sigh).

The following images were taken by her over the past few weeks. She shot in RAW mode ('cause that's what I set her M10 to shoot). I did the post processing using Photoshop 2017 CC (ACR). The M10 had the 15-45 lens attached. Other than the M10 being permanently fixed in regular RGB mode (no way to change it to anything else), I always tend to make sure the final images are in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space.

She's certainly getting better with her efforts. And what I like is that she's now realizing that different scenarios involving different lighting can involve different methods of metering. The outdoor shots below were taken in dim, cold weather (around 33 degrees F) with heavy winds using multi-segment metering. The indoor concert photos featuring the Route 66 big band were taken at ISO 1600-2000 using partial center-weighted metering.

Click the "Original Size" link under each image to bring up a sharper and larger 1800 x 1224 x 24 images. Images were resized for web using the excellent batch conversion software called "Irfanview."

The front entrance to Doyle's vineyard near Durham, NC. Shot in Aperture Priority mode, ISO 100, AWB, multi-segment metering. This vineyard is really more of a wedding and special events locale. The wines they feature are from the Rag Apple Lassie vineyards which are located in Boonville, NC.

During the warmer months, this Doyles Vineyards locale is actually a very happening place. Folks love to come out and have a bottle of wine, listen to live entertainment, etc.

I was very surprised at the DR of the M10. Prior to PP'ing in ACR, the background skies were totally blown out. After adjustments with the sliders, I was able to bring the look (and feel) of the cold skies exactly as they appeared at the scene. I'm impressed with this M10!!!

Not a special scene at all - she just took this shot of a part of Jordan Lake (a 15,000 acre lake located between Durham and Cary, NC).

This big band group was giving a Christmas concert and they are really, really good. Very tight instrumentation like the pro's.

This singer really belted out the tunes - very in-tune and musical.

OK - I'm done. Let's see what you got. I'm sure many of you have great images to showcase.

Later...

Ben, Just for you

Here's some I took last month with my M3 when I had a quick walk around the village. JPEG's straight out of the camera - not processing done at all (I do have the Raw's which is what I play with - but haven't got round to it yet).

A few shots I took recently with the M3 at the Botanical Gardens at the Bellagio in Las Vegas:

Everything in the garden is made of real flowers and trees. The polar bears were white carnations.

This Christmas tree is 44 ft in height and was trucked in from California.

They do everything big in Las Vegas.

I like to get low to the ground with that tilt screen and the touch focus plus of course my favorite lens the 28mm macro.

If the images are crap, it’s the camera
If the images are good, it’s the photographer, not the equipment

I really like that shot...

It has a very warm feeling and the kids look great!  Of course, now-a-days, that's all you see anymore - that is, young folks walking down the street, or standing next to each, or wherever else, just fixated on their smart phones.  Modern times!!!!

A big advantage of the EF 100mm L that you already have is working distance between the lens and the subject. At 28mm, the lens usually has to be very close to the subject for a macro image, which can cause shadows or scare away live subjects. The 100mm gives you some working distance to capture the same relative size image.

Of course the advantage of the M 28mm is size and weight and a slight increase in depth of field at the same relative size image.

I will be testing my EF 100mm macro on my M5 when it arrives in a couple of days.

Wonderful selection of images. I hope to be training my close to be delivered M5 on birds of prey as well. By the way, does your wife work with the birds? I think I remember seeing a picture with one perched on her (protected) arm.

No.
Its just a falconry centre that is close by us. They have bird handling sessions as well as photo sessions. So we have been there for both. I think this was my fourth time. (and I still make the same errors. Doh!)

Though I think the one you are referring to with the Eagle on her arm was another centre that is a bit further away. Here you get close up and personal with some very big birds in the photo or handling sessions. Variour Eagles, Vultures, Secretary Birds, all sorts of things.  see https://www.flickr.com/photos/lozwilkes/albums/72157630219859458/with/8086169803/
