Originally posted by itshimitis Thanks. I did it using one of the things I love about the Z in the first place. In LR, I pushed the shadows by 95. Then in Nik Color Efex I also used a grad, and paid absolutely no IQ penalty for it.
In fact, I also did a BW version and dodged the cave, as the film emulation I used made it darker...
still no real IQ penalty and no NR used...
Thank you! IIRC, many of your images you use a light hand on in PP. This one jumped out at me as a sort that would need more. Yet it's also clear that you didn't have to heavily manipulate it, or "repair" it after the necessary manipulations. Impressive. So, as you say, this points up why you and we all love this great photographic instrument.

And I didn't mean to ignore your shots, Ed. That first one is quite startling. I do love your "Spiffing Pics" logo, btw.
