I love the texture and the dynamic range. I feel the same, dynamic, sunny and energetic!

Ronald, I am amazed with the amount of detail your DP1 pictures show!! That lens/sensor combination really is prooving to be a winner, and a brave move from Sigma that I am sure will give way to a new kind of cameras (one that some have been awaiting for too long)… Now if the lens was only an f2.8..Being restricted to a single focal length is allready a great commitment, I am afraid f4 may be too much of a commitment, and too restrictive for some of the shotting situations I like, but I´m surely keeping an eye on this little brave camera!!
C´mon Ronald, give us MORE!!! :-)

Kind regards, Erik.

well, to be honest I am amazed too, I darken quite a lot of what I posted, but this is nearly unprocessed! I sometimes wonder if there is some secret in the image-pipeline (multiple exposure? some new tricks) or that indeed it is an ultrasharp lens (could well be from Sigma) and the combination with that foveon sensor…
OK, 100% files are as clean as I have never seen before, but remember they are 2640*1760. Nevertheless I already have 30cm*40cm prints on the wall already and they…shine…
F4, I know… I would have liked something faster, but slow shots are also surprisingly good to handheld. I almost always think that the foveon sensor likes a good ‘drink’ of light, not just a nip, to make that kind of pictures :) Look on some nightshots on Flickr with 15sec exposure, they are also magic.

Ronald, as you mention it, what are you printing with?
Cheers, Erik.

Good morning Erik,
Nothing fancy I am afraid. I’ve tried profesional photolabs and compared them to a local drugstore called “hema” and now I print at that drugstore, a 30*40cm print cost 3,95e. I do not have the space in my house anywhere to even put a small printer… a laptop on the kitchen table is all I can get away with.

Ronald,
the laptop on the kitchen stuff feels familiar…I am looking (slowly) into getting a printer, mainly for B&W stuff and am feeling curious about other people´s experiences. My own experience with lab printing has been to cry for lately..
Best, Erik.

Wonderful photograph Ronald and have a save trip to Poland. And I don’t mind the slight magenta/cyan cast in the bright part. It has to be there.
