Sigma Sigma DP Series Image Thread

[ggibson]

I shoot RAW and process general color, exposure settings in SPP. Then I export to a JPG for less important images, or 16-bit TIFF if I want extra quality. Then, I import into Lightroom and finish touching up. For serious clone-work or merging, I use Photoshop.

I use SPP5.1, and I like it better than 4.2, but I agree it is pretty painful to use. It's more annoying to go through SPP, but I like the results better than Lightroom's RAW conversion.

thanks for that.

I'm impressed with that yellow. I have real trouble with yellow on my DP1 with it clipping horribly.

having a DP2 and DP1s for about 2 years now I have to say they can be very rewarding (and sometimes very frustrating ). I'm definitely glad I got them! (back then the first rumors came up that Nikons mirrorless was "just around the corner". Happy I didn't wait for that

I did just pick up a bargain NX100 and the 30mm should be in the mail today. Hoping that the NX100 could be a bit quicker and more versatile. But I do suspect that I will never be able to let go of those "special" Sigma image qualities

cheers,
Tilman

Hello and welcome Tilman. Thanks for sharing this set - the first one is fantastic. We have a welcome forum if you would like to introduce yourself to everyone.

Tilman, thank you so much for coming on and adding these photographs. There's something so extra special about the photographs I see by experienced DP photographers...the quality and colors are so rich. I'm completely smitten by your first "family" portrait! I hope you'll become more involved across the board, as well.

Nice work Tilman.

 

[tilman]

First image is awesome, Tilman!

And I browsed through your flickr, and the colors are really ... delicious.

the Foveon X3 sensor is known for it's rich and vibrant colour palette ...

... hmmm ... I think my little baby had a "moment" ...

one from last week shot with the DP1s
(I really have to decide on one "system" soon... the size weight advantage is of course lost once you start to take lots of small cameras with you )

cheers,
Tilman

The last one have that beautiful vintage atmosphere.

 

[tilman]

Thank you pictogramax! I thought that atmosphere was very appropriate for the year "getting old"...

(also the Sigma DP's are very good for that... with a little help from SilverEfex... )

cheers,
Tilman

Nice Tilman. The sepia tone is well done and very fitting.

Thanks!
I think the same about yours

I love the DP's foevon colors! I've never had one of these cameras but I can imagine how rewarding they are once you get the hang of them.

Beautiful images and each with their own distinct merits.
