I got a chance to play with my K-1 last night. I realized that I hadn't tried the 85/1.4 out photographing musicians, and since there was going to be a live band at the milonga last night, I spent a couple tandas playing with them. The lighting was exceptionally challenging, there are several frames where it was impossible to bring the color balance back in line using lightroom. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/53764880261/in/album-72177720317540461/ Moving back to the K-1 after the K-3iii and the OM-5 I did notice how long it takes to bracket multiple frames, also how slow focusing is. I would really love a K-1 with all the upgrades from the K-3 III and a faster bus for saving files. I just realized that I forgot to apply Lightroom Noise Reduction before posting the photos. Not something I'd dare to forget with the OM-5.

 LRC

Well Larry, as Ralf says, you did a good job and really captured the atmosphere. I must say I prefer the monochrome images. We haven't been to a function like that for many years. They do occasionally have dance evenings out here in the sticks but it is all Boeremusiek! (You can look that up!)

Larry, you may be complaining about the focusing of the K-1, however these pictures show again how good this camera performs in low light situations. It looks to me that with saturation or point color in Color Mixer of LR you should be able to adjust colour balance where the artificial light is too pronounced.

Don't get me wrong, what the K-1 does well, it does very very well. Post processing on it is much easier than the OM-5. > On Jun 3, 2024, at 1:31 AM, Henk Terhell <henk.terhell@gmail.com> wrote: > > Larry, you may be complaining about the focusing of the K-1, however these pictures show again how good this camera performs in low light situations. The two are not mutually exclusive. To be honest the K-3III is pretty close to as good in low light, but is better at focusing. > It looks to me that with saturation or point color in Color Mixer of LR you should be able to adjust colour balance where the artificial light is too pronounced. This is after adjusting the color balance in lightroom. The color temperature slider is pegged at 2000K, and on some of them I tried to get even more adjustment with the brush, to no avail. > > Henk > > Op 2024-06-02 om 23:37 schreef Larry Colen: >> I got a chance to play with my K-1 last night.

The shot you chose for your PESO is my favorite of the full set, too. but now I have an ear worm and worse I can't remember the gal's name who wrote "it's all about the bass.." cartchy tune that I only know because it was used in a commercial a couple of years ago ann On 6/2/2024 5:37 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > I got a chance to play with my K-1 last night.
