That's what the poster said already in the first place, so no idea why he even asked about it.

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 of the pics

Folks,
I have read from jan 2013 onwards but can't find any details about HK source.
My friend is going to HK today thus wondering if anyone has any info to share like the latest pricing and location to purchase the cam.
Appreciate your sharing. Thks
Abt hk4380.. <750 sin. Good buy in Hk. U can search in price.com.hk
Very nice but were the photos post-processed? The colours look too intense to be natural? I detect some filters and colour shifts?

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 that said, once you've been to Cambodia and see the sunset you'll see why the intensity is that high when you underexpose slightly
Edit: I typically take photos this way: I expose as high as possible without clipping; bring it back down in post for the blacks. I find this maximizes detail and colors. Perfect exposure really only works in event photography and is something I used to do for the D2x or D3 when I was working with Willy on live-shoot projects. Of course with those cameras you could load in your custom curves which does the same effect.
Edit2: Also, you can sue me and what not but I'm a jpg shooter. I just don't have the time, energy or diskspace(!!) to really bother with RAWs especially for personal stuff.
When Google bought it?Snapseed is one of the most popular photo editing apps for iphone and ipad. Not sure if it's available for android. It used to be a paid app but not too long ago became a free app.

Totally agree with the JPEG thing... I prefer to shoot JPEG... the workflow with RAW and the space required and the horsepower to pay for is just too great...
Interesting... must ask you to elaborate on the expose as high as possible without clipping and bring it back down for post... what do you bring down at post? Levels? I typically find myself using curves and shadow/highlights to bring out the shadows... this often creates noise (on at A900) which I dislike... and also flattens the contrast... would be good to learn new post techniques from the pros... I usually ignore my highlights (hahaha....) but usually they are not blown lar unless the lighting is very extreme... but the shadows are often troublesome... A900 doesn't like low light exposures... very noisy very quickly...
EDIT: Completely noob question - what's Snapseed? Sounds like a mobile app name? I don't use Apple...
After. Snapseed is available on Android too by the way, just did a quick check on Google.
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 take your pick but I love shadows in my pics and some vignetting). This way it doesn't introduce noise. Noise is a byproduct of amplification (i.e. you trying to make it brighter when the data isn't really there).
In old film speak, you expose for the shadows.
Edit2: for typos and stuff
very interesting discussion between RiStaR and TME. i for one picked up so much from it. thanks for sharing your technique RiStaR:thumbsup:, and thanks to TME for pursuing the discussion. :thumbsup:

Ah I see what you mean... you're shooting the film way... expose to the right for the shadows... and to hell with the highlights... that works for film as the roll-off is much gentler... for digital, especially the early sensors, the highlight clipping was very severe... actually I do that too... but still, sometimes, the highlight clipping is too severe even though the highlight roll-off for the A900 is already one of the best... I prefer a more natural look, without dramatic shadows and high saturation levels... thanks!
