The important thing with this idea is to learn how to use your eye, your camera and PhotoLab to create a consistent look and feel rather than just a collection of snapshots. Try imagining you are preparing for a small exhibition and work towards having 20 images that either tell a story to just go together well. Then, all you need is some more purposeful images to continue learning how to optimise them in PhotoLab. It will also allow us to add a few real world examples of how to use them to the forum for the benefit of other folks. It might be a good idea to make a few more shots with HDR, to really get the hang of local adjustments, especially now they have those Luma and Chroma selectivity sliders - that really do make a great difference. You just need to choose which one suits which style of photography. The Fuji is a superb pocket camera and, from what I can see, has much more functionality than the Leica, apart from not having the same range of lenses. The Nikon is undoubtedly the most flexible, provided you don’t mind either carrying a few lenses or limiting it to one lens per outing. I think I need to go back to my Nikon for a while longer, maybe much longer, but it’s nice to know I can get similar results with the smaller and lighter Fuji. OK, I will post my image, and then upload my “normal” photo as taken by the F100f. I know you guys will make this effort look too “simple”, but from my point of view I love it, and that it came from my X100f makes me think the DxO “beta” test is doing just great! Thank you to all the people who made it possible.
I started to crop out the tree branches, but them put them back in. Hopefully I used the Smart Lighting properly, as that’s how I got the buildings to change from dark black, but I wish they were a little bit lighter. Using the “G” tool for grid, I got the image level - I wish there was a way to simply rotate up/down until I like it, but no big deal - the horizon tool gets it done.

ISO was 400, but I now know I can back it off to 100 or 200. I started with the sun a little higher, but the images were pathetic, so I started bumping up the shutter speed and ended up with 1/2000th of a second at f/10 to almost get rid of the clipping. Starting with the sunset photo, the huge cloud at the top was moving towards me, and by the time I stopped shooting, most of it was gone from the frame. I was less than thrilled that I forgot to set the exposure to +1.7, and I forgot how to turn the flash off. On the positive side, I am thrilled with the result from the Fuji, which for reasons I can’t explain is far prettier to me than my similar shots with my Nikon D750. I struggled with the camera, as while I was used to it in 2018, I haven’t really used it since then. I took two photos today, one of a “normal” scene like I enjoy taking, and another one of my view of sunsets over Miami.
I am SO very happy that DxO now supports the Fuji X-Trans Sensor, and I can use my Fuji X100f in raw mode. I started a new thread, as I didn’t want this image to get mixed in with all the other topics.
