By the way Dario, that's a great shot and I'm not criticizing you at all for either the exposure or the processing. It's just a very similar problem to one that I'm frequently wrestling with, and I'm curious how the K-5 handles it. Mind you, that doesn't make any difference in whether I'll buy a K-5 as soon as I can pretend that I can afford one.

Actually the difference seems to be using firefox rather than chrome or safari. The -2 version of the photo certainly shows a lot more detail, I'm impressed with what you were able to pull out. The original processing does have the best pop and makes for the most dramatic image. > That "wow" DR only happens @ ISO 100 and a little above. That's one reason that when I'm shooting in that sort of lighting situation, I'll dial back the ISO to get the blown out channel back into line. In the hopes that it gives me the most dynamic range for the other channels. > > Dario > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
