Hi Indieke,

Yes, I always do Post-processing in all my pictures. In this case the shot was landscape. I chose just a portion of the image to get it vertical.
Here the natural noon light was filtered by big canopies extended in the roofs along the streets because the high temperatures on this part of Spain.
I try to improve the images adjusting the colour clarity of the images in PhotoShop by "curves". You know pointing to the full black, full white and finally the ideal grey, and adjusting the curve to a "S" shape in general. I also sharpen a bit the fadedness of some F10 shots.
These were my very first shots with this camera as I just bought it for this vacances trip. It is right now that I am understanding a bit this bittersweet cam.
Have in mind that many of my shots failed because my personal photographic style. I used to shot while walking, also not giving time to internal process for auto focusing even. I thought the camera will regulate everything itself. Big mistake!
Now I start to discover and appreciate the plus of its color - I like very much its colours - and ISO particularity.
Yes, I miss a RAW file format and manual options a lot!!
Strange behaviour of this camera anyway!

Nice to share with you my experience.

Best,

Jose

Hi José nice shots!

I have a question. Do you do any Post-processing?
My pictures are a bit too contrasted and I don't like that!

Yours look softer, at least on line!
