Two more images from this afternoon. The top one is the bottom of the small swimming pool at the Hotel San José. The bottom one is a detail from the courtyard at the Austin Motel. In both of them I think the color is just right. Not accurate, but just right.
Again: Leica SL (the original, professional, mirrorless camera) coupled with a well regarded zoom lens from the R camera era. It's the 35-70mm f4.0 R. It's lovely. I wish I were faster at focusing it. But what would be the fun in letting a camera do everything for you? Right?
Those are lovely colors. Out of curiosity, how do the SL2/SL2-S files differ?
ReplyDeleteIf you shoot them the same way the SL2-S files look slightly richer while the SL2 files are slightly less saturated.
ReplyDeleteI meant, how do they differ from the original SL
DeleteAh. The SL is magically perfect. If it had a bit lower noise above 1600 ISO it would be the perfect color camera. As long as you get the white balance correct. Saturation halfway between the SL2 and SL2-S, nothing over done. Just really, really nice. It's why I keep two of them around and shoot them often.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteIs there really such a thing as “accurate” color. My experience is that everybody perceives colors a little differently. You say tomato and I say tomahto.
