    David K replied to the topic Meeting with S2 product manager Stephan Schulz tomorrow in the forum S2 13 years ago

    I want a dual sensor S3…that can switch back and forth between B&W and color by rotating a dial. And I'd like royalties if they implement my idea… 🙂

    David K replied to the topic Leica M Monochrom in the forum M Monochrom 13 years ago

    Back and forth on this as it would not be in addition to my M9…the high ISO is really appealing to me as that's the kind of photography that I am shooting. Need to see the difference between this one and converted M9 images using Silver Efex…

    Must have been the rocket blower but just in case I've stopped cleaning my sensors with the gas station tire pumps. As for my models… they're more likely to melt the lens;)

    I like this one Jack…the perspective reinforces the massiveness of the rocks. Good to see you're still using your ND filters. Hoping to give mine a workout next week.

    Hopefully these issues will be addressed very shortly in LR 4.1

    David K replied to the topic Lightroom 4 in the forum Workflow and Processing 13 years, 2 months ago

    About 1min 15 secs for the same number of images with the same settings. The problem manifested itself for me when I needed to process a few hundred images for upload to the web so the client could make selections. That process took well over half an hour which seemed awfully slow. But at 7.5 secs per image…it makes sense.

    David K replied to the topic Lightroom 4 in the forum Workflow and Processing 13 years, 2 months ago

    Al, the performance issues for LR 4 are apparently very common. I'm sure that Adobe will address them…just a question of how soon. You can download the free trial and see if you have problems on your machine. I'm still using it for adjustments but the slowness in exports is annoying. And I don't need any excuses to enjoy a good…[Read more]

    David K replied to the topic Lightroom 4 in the forum Workflow and Processing 13 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking maybe I should have waited a while before touting LR4. Recently tried to export 200+ S2 DNG's to relatively small jpegs and it takes forever. Much, much slower than LR3. Probably best to wait a while before making the changeover. I would have thought that after the extensive beta testing Adobe would have worked these kinds of bugs out…

    David K replied to the topic Lightroom 4 in the forum Workflow and Processing 13 years, 2 months ago

    It seems to me that the new sliders (Highlights, Whites, Shadows, Blacks) in the Basic section of the Develop module allow for better control over the way the image is rendered. The attached Nikon D3S image (using LR4) is a shot that I had worked up in LR 3 but was not happy with. Couldn't lighten up the faces and the horses without the rest of…[Read more]

    David K replied to the topic Leica S2 and underwater case in the forum S2 13 years, 3 months ago

    You are a brave man to consider taking your S2 scuba diving. If I were still shooting underwater images I think I'd rather buy a dedicated DSLR and appropriate housing. I still have my Light and Motion housing with an early Olympus digital camera, lights, etc. Found it quite challenging to get good underwater images. But please keep us posted…[Read more]

    The second shot posted isn't as sharp as I would have liked but I still liked it enough to consider a keeper. Kind of a grab shot as we were wrapping up and walking back towards the car. Funny how often something like that becomes a favorite…

    Mark, I share your love of Clyde Butcher's work. And his printing technique is the best that I've had the opportunity to see first hand. Web images don't begin to come close to what they look like in real life.
