Awesome set of photos, love the second shot, really cinematic. The exposure and colours are fantastic too, was there much editing in capture one or just basic adjustments? They look like promo shots for the iphone 14. 👏
Thank you! Very basic editing, no masks, curve adjustment or HSL. I'm still getting used to the ProRAW files though, as in my experience they behave a little different than your usual RAW file.
For one, when shooting with a camera I'm used to underexposing a bit in very high contrast situations. I did this for this photos, but Apple handles exposure in a really weird way.. underexposing makes highlights look off, like they do when you start messing with the Luminance setting in Lightroom. You can see this in the first picture, where the clouds look muddy.
Then there's editing software. I really like Capture One, but it seems it cannot interpret the DNG corretly. The "white" and "highlight" sliders pretty much don't do anything. LR is better, but gives me a very flat image, and I have to spend twice the time to get the images to look like what I'm envisioning.
I will continue experimenting, but so far I'm very impressed and in some situations it is way better than the 13 Pro.
For instance, when I took this photo it was
very dark already, and it still turned out great, especially for social media sharing:
