This, to me, is getting close to a perfect conversion (for my taste). It has something of a 3D look to it. The low contrast sky lets the building pop out of the image. It may be difficult to see at this small size, but I'm sure you get the gist of what I'm trying to convey.

Same ship, same day, different angle. Don't you just love those colours. I think I prefer the Fuji colours to the Olympus which are pretty famous for their colour rendition, especially in their jpg engine. Also notice the dynamic range in this image. No burnt out highlights and no blocked blacks. Simply excellent.

Even if seem to repeating myself in these posts, I can't remember the last time a camera exited me son much. It is fun to use and the image quality is to die for. The conversions are quick to do without any problems such as banding the sky. I just love these conversions, and is a prelude to much more images being converted.

I wnated this one done in landscape format to a little more of the river and the town in the background (for those interested the building going up in the top right of the image is the new European Central Bank) cousing the image to be brighter than the previous two. I wanted to see if the camera could handle the exposure at bottom left. Well, it could and exposure appears to be spot on.

Over the next 4 days I'll be posting what will seem to be the same images. They are in fact two separate colour images processed in Nik SFX II slightly differently. The colour images may seen to be the same image but are in fact two different exposures. These were process differently in SFX II, one being a little harsher (the first) than the second B&W image. Personally I prefer the first but many strive for a softer look to their conversions.
