Abu's M Pics

Let's get this show in the road (again)...

All with SOC JPEG, auto exposure corrected in Lightroom Android, from M5 & M32 @f/1.4

Nice work but SOOC jpeg and corrected Auto exposure in Lightroom are contradictory. Surely SOOC should mean as shot with no post capture adjustment ?

Perhaps you are right.

Great pics though so no big deal

Ouch. I had a similar problem on a different forum some time ago. Not fun. But life goes on.

Have you bought that M6 II yet? 😄 📷

No. I am exercising restraint...

So, I stopped taking pictures for a couple of years. Getting back into it again...

Agree with the others.  Nicely done (all of them).

Thanks for sharing,

At these distances you could even use the M6ii’s Eye AF effectively.

Indeed. Though nailing focus on the eyes is not so difficult with the small 'spot' focus box. These are all focus-and-recompose at f/1.4 with spot focus. Eye AF would be nice though...

Oh yeah, the M6ii's Spot AF is nearly perfect.

However Eye AF can be faster than focus and recompose (when the subject is close), and it'll keep tracking it to boot!

With practice focus and recompose can be very fast with the right lenses ?

I love the eye AF on my M6II. For the small indoor events where I use the M6II with Sigma 56, it nails the eyes perfectly up to about 20 feet away (and at that distance and beyond, if the face is in focus, the eyes will be too anyway).
