Alright - what did you shoot...

...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...
