    Can only get one of my two favorite shots from Day Three to upload…but there were other nice shots too. I'll try to get the second one up later.

    David K replied to the topic Leica S2 New England Fall Foliage Trip – Day Two in the forum Images to Share 13 years, 7 months ago

    The location for this shot was the roadside waterfall not far from the hotel. Since all the good spots at the roadside were taken…I climbed up the mountain to where the waterfall fed the pond. The good news is that I was out of the frame for all the roadside shooters. As you may recall…it was pretty much dark out when this shot was…[Read more]

    We really had some great spots to shoot this day. Here's one that I climbed half a mountain for…not my best shot of the day but the one I worked hardest to get. Also a bit different than what's been posted.

    Mark,

    Assuming you create your images by exporting a file in LR there is a drop down menu for Color Space in the File Settings portion of the dialogue box that pops up when you go to export. As Josh noted, this should be set to sRGB. Let us know if that does the trick.

    David K replied to the topic Right Angle Finder in the forum S2 13 years, 7 months ago

    Add my voice to Woody's and Roger's. Delays in lens deliveries I can understand…but micro prism screens and right angle finders…that can't be more than resource allocation on the part of Leica. This stuff is overdue…

    David K replied to the topic Man with many cameras in the forum Images to Share 13 years, 8 months ago

    It was probably a good idea not to give Josh all the cameras when we visited the BMW get together. Pretty good chance he would have traded our KIA van and a couple of S2's for a sportier ride 🙂

    David K replied to the topic Using the S2 and the M9 together …LR presets? in the forum Workflow and Processing 13 years, 9 months ago

    I'm far from a LR guru and still prefer a round trip to CS5 for most adjustments. But I'd be willing to bet a couple of bucks that Roger is NOT confused about anything in LR.

    David K replied to the topic Offical statement from Leica regarding SD card compaitibility with the M9 in the forum M9 13 years, 10 months ago

    Interesting that they recommend not reformatting cards, either in camera or computer. I typically reformat in camera on a regular basis.

    David K replied to the topic Maximizing High ISO Performance on the Leica S2 in the forum S2 13 years, 10 months ago

    Lovely shot Mark and very impressive detail on the crop. That Pentax 400mm looks like a winner to me.

    David K replied to the topic Leica M9 Upgrade Program in the forum M9 13 years, 10 months ago

    I think it's too expensive for what it is but somehow I'm not surprised. I suspect you could sell an M9 and get a new M9-P for pretty close to the same price.

    Holy Bat-pano Robin.

    Beautiful image David. Curious about your panning technique. I use the RRS pano kit and stitch in PT Gui Pro but it sounds like you're using CS5. I typically try to use as close to normal as I can lens wise. But the 35 cron seems to have done a wonderful job.

    I've been shooting mine recently and absolutely love it. And considering the price of used lenses these days… it's a relative bargain 🙂

    David K replied to the topic Metering Method – What do you use? in the forum S2 13 years, 10 months ago

    I'm a matrix (multiple) metering/aperture priority shooter…at least for the most part. When I shoot Nikon D3S I've got the ev comp down pretty well and it's very simple to implement. On the M9 I find that auto exposure frequently results in overexposing highlights… at least in a lot of situations that I shoot, e.g. dappled sunlight in the…[Read more]

    David K replied to the topic Exhibit coming up in the forum M9 13 years, 11 months ago

    Sounds like your exhibition was a success… congrats. The process of selecting my best images has always been a challenge for me (and, I suspect, many others)… and that's in the absence of preparing for an exhibit. If either or both of you are in the mood to share your thoughts on this it would be of great interest to me.

    David K replied to the topic Young Monk – Burma (Myanmar) in the forum Images to Share 13 years, 11 months ago

    I think it's an excellent capture… especially like the expression on the young monk's face. I think Pete's comment is valid… but a matter of personal taste. I'd like it better with a bit of a vignette but, again, that's personal. Nice work.

    David K replied to the topic Suggestions for feature additions in future S2 firmware updates in the forum S2 13 years, 11 months ago

    I wish I had a better idea of what kinds of things can be addressed with firmware (vs hardware). Anybody out there feel like sharing some knowledge. For example, could Leica implement a 1 push 100% zoom feature.
