Sony Showcase RX1 Images

[rbelyell]

is it me or do the colors coming from this camera just look somehow different? kinda like the old ccd vs cmos debate, though they dont look like either to me...just different.

 

[christilou]

Not sure really. I used a Nik cross process filter on my last picture and Shane looks to have used some filters otherwise they look pretty normal to me

 

[mattia]

They just look quite 'Zeiss-y' to me; it's a nicer lens than my Contax Planar 50/1.4, but the signature looks similar to me. Pleasing and punchy, but not too much.

 

[rbelyell]

my post wasnt really clear, but i was speaking generally of rx1 files compared to any other digicam, not just a couple of specific shots. i just find generally the 'look' im getting from my rx1 color shots are quite unique from my other cameras. again i can only compare it to the age old debate between ccd and cmos, not in terms of which is better, but that the results are undeniably different.

Nice

Thank you! I always thought my pictures are so-so, and I'm happy some people like them.

Here's some more autumn shots, made during this splendid weekend.

Quite nice set here and in Flickr! Do you do a lot of PP, or mostly colors, exposure?

Lucille,

You use a lot of OOC JPEGs, right?. I like your colors. Which settings do you normally use? Or does it change much?

Thanks

The JPEGS out of the Rx1 are the best I have seen, I know others disagree and that's ok, as we are all different, every picture I have ever posted here on this forum from my Rx1 or A7 is a JPEG.
I usually shoot in manual mode, but sometimes in full auto letting the camera decide all things. If I need to power on and fire fast I have trusted auto mode.

In Manual my settings always change due to the light. I tend to be one that shoots with as large as a aperture as I can, f/2.0 if possible, because of this I often have a faster shutter speed unless I am in a lowlight situation that requires a
slow speed. ISO is the setting that I change the least, but I will change it if I am 'out of aperture or shutter speed' for a given situation.

All a camera does is collect light, and our images is our sensors interpretation of that light. ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture all work hand in hand, making photography a game of compromises. One effects the other, I learned this early on.

I try and shoot at a low ISO as possible, and I often under expose a tad, then bump up brightness in post. I believe that by doing this I get fuller, richer colors..

I have had people on forums tell me to ETTR, expose to the right, nope, that's not for me, I have my own way of doing things and I like to think my images have a certain look to them, I know in the car world with the locals, they know
if I shot a particular car image or not, I was recently told this by a group of people at a car meet, that they could see 10 images by different photog's and they knew which were mine... Which is kinda want I wanted, my own look.

Hey, thanks for the thorough explanation!

So no in-camera effect, like "vivid" or the likes?

I rarely use vivid, which I use to use all the time on my epl1....

I mainly use standard, but will use black an white and I will also use HDR mainly on the low setting...... I do car photography nightshots and often will use the sunset effect..

I think the Rx1 is capable of some sweet black and whites that have a errie feel, such as this shot from yesterday, of a long abandoned and haunted School found in a small village in New Mexico..

I must say, I love black and white images with the Rx1.........

Hi all a few pictures from my first vacation using the RX1, all straight out of the camera. So nice to travel light......

 

[KevJake]

A few more I've been messing around with today.....

Cool... What type of PP of the first and second to get the colors? The last one is just long exposure to achieve the "ghost" effect?

Just trying to learn, appreciate any insight (just general idea, don't have to be thorough) if it is not too much trouble. Thanks

Hi Marcos,

I've just loaded Photomatix Pro 5 today, the last set are processed from raw using there tone mapping and presets, then just fine tuning. It's good for me as I'm not that good at post processing. They have a stand alone trial version or plug-ins to try out on their website..

Cheers...Kev

Thanks. And the ghost-like effect on your photo below?
