Still Life With Jacket

Now, I know it's not the most interesting photo ever taken...but bear with me...

I reset some values in the Fuji XE-1 (or is it X-E1? I can never remember)

DR 400
H-Tone -1
S-Tone -1
Colour +2
Sharp +1

...and I got a much sharper picture than normal. The whole image seems to me to be more...hmm...harmonised...I think. Something like that.

Well, I like it

...forgot to mention the Velvia simulation...

ISO 800, f3.6

Zero editing...

(I'll shut up now)

nice colors, the red and olive really work well together. i shoot raw so i can't help you much with the jpg settings.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I spent some time shooting raw, and enjoyed doing it. But I never felt I came close to the quality Fuji give me via jpegs. I've heard and have read all the arguments, but - with my own shots - the jpegs look better. Of course, my raw skills are clearly not as developed as many people's are. I've never felt the urge to have massive prints, I prefer smaller prints - so jpgs are fine. Anyone else want to "come out"?

 

[Beth Carter]

shooting your way is the best way to shoot any camera.

 

[Brian Moore]

I like it, Rob. The colors work well together.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian! I like it too

 

[Peter McCullough]

That's a lovely "Real" looking photo Rob, nice, very natural and neutral looking. Great natural colours..!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Peter. Appreciated!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Mmmmm Velvia - always a winner

Fuji's jpegs are a real selling point - outstanding out of camera files

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yup.

 

[Mauro Tandoi]

the color are good, nice setting I will try (I have x-pro1)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Hope you like it, Mauro.

 

[Dave Young]

Looks really good Rob, good choice to reset your settings

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Dave. Would be interesting to know other people's settings.

 

[Pete Askew]

Raw or not I, as does Beth, really like the combination of colours and textures.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Pete.

The colours are very nice and the in-camera PP is obviously very good. Does Fuji not supply something so that RAW files can have identical processing?
