some more pics from that shoot out my window.

Throop at Dawn

Where the pigeons live

the final days of smokey the smokestack re-edit

Doing any real photo editing on my lapdrop is pretty much implausible since it never matches anything I think it will when I see it on a real monitor.  So, with my mac mini flatlining I decided to put up 3 versions of the same image from my DP1s, and show how the processing effects them.  

The top picture is straight out of the camera with everything in photopro leveled out at zero. 

Add caption

on my laptop I couldn't see any of the buildings, so I brought up the exposure 0.5, the highlights 0.8 the X3f fill 0.8  of course I can see the buildings in the first one on this screen so maybe I was just screwed over by mac.

The colors looked vulgar so I took the saturation from 0.0 to -0.8,  now it looks washed out.

News!

A little late, but there's new info on the Sigma site and a sample pic!

You probably aren't obsessed like me, but that photo is sharp!

You too can rip off william wegman when it comes out.  Here is a quality sample I snagged.

this is a mere snigglet, chunk of the picky wick...  perty slick, no?  Looks like the SD1 will at least stay abreast with the bayer array cameras (all of the other cameras).  BUT when?  should i or should i not buy an sd15?  Tell me, oh minions.
