Thanks Rashkae, will give it a go tonight :)

Just to add on, as much as I like the camera I've found matrix metering to be completely a crapshoot. My camera is mostly in center or spot (spot's a bit hit-and-miss too but not too bad). The histogram is also a great help too bad it's not active when you're framing (or maybe I haven't figured...

No worries on sharing - I don't think I shared that much there compared to the other contributors on Illuminate blog, but I'm glad you found it useful!

Actually I don't. I care very much about the highlights which is why I meant expose as high as possible without clipping or as much as you find acceptable. This isn't always easy to achieve and it's a balance (and no, I've never had a liking for HDR images - that's the ultimate in terms...

Snapseed is basically free for all the major mobile platforms. With it I don't even really bother with photoshop - this is so great especially with dive trips because of all the cropping and sometimes color correction involved. Photos take like 30 secs to get nicely processed and finished. Yes...

I'm not a pro, but this is what my experience dictates. If you post process by bringing the levels (i.e. overall brightness or what not) up, you will introduce artifacts or noise. If you expose "as high as possible" or have the photos fairly bright, you bring the levels down with post (you can...

Oh really? I was under the impression that that particular shop sells second hand equipment? Was thinking of going over there to pick up a used Stax there, too!

For people making a trip to Japan and don't mind a slightly used model, the prices there are really quite attractive. 買取・中古販売・新品販売のフジヤエービック [ FUJIYA AVIC ] / SONY DSC-RX1 It goes up and down because of currency fluctuations and what not but you can...

The black and white stuff is mostly with Snapseed - actually all goes through Snapseed for sharpens and levels. I like the vintage filter for the slight blue tint. In terms of intensity, in Toy mode the stuff is pretty saturated and when you reduce the levels it's going to be punchy. But all...

Cheers guys. Thanks for the kind comments! :)

Hi all, been a while since I shared on Clubsnap. Just sharing some pics that I took with the RX-100 when I went for a short holiday to Cambodia. Very light setup - 1 x RX100 (mainly in toy camera mode and warm white balance); 1 x portable charger; 1 x iPad with Snapseed. Quite happy with most...

Seriously, there's very little need to shoot or work in Adobe RGB since nothing outputs that much range of colours in the first place -- how often do people have such output devices (printers etc)? Shooting and working with Adobe RGB is way over-rated. If you're going the Adobe route, why not...

Nicest series I've seen from you :)

Seriously, why do the 45 degree test? Just put the batteries at different distances from the edge of the table and focus on whichever one you want. You can start by having them 0.5-1cm apart. Focus on the middle one. (If the front one is sharper it's front focusing, if the middle one is sharper...
