Well, I once saw a documentary about Sebastiao Salgado. I'm always touched whenever I see his works. He always put the humanity. I was impressed with his work because a lot of things that can be taken from his photographs.
I'd seen and admired are his photographs of the war. There clearly defined and very touching.
I want a lot to learn with him.

Hi Denise,
Good to hear from you. I use a technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range). With this technique you combine a number of images, of which one is under-exposed, one correctly exposed and another over-exposed. The iPhone offers a nifty app for this to make things easier. Trey Ratcliff from http://www.stuckincustoms.com/ has detailed information and mind blowing examples on HDR photography on his site.

How do you get so much contrast? I am struggling with my DSLR!

Thank you, Dion for sharing your expertise. I haven't had a chance to test the X1 in person yet and hope to get hold of one soon, to do so.
It seems, you are very happy with the Leica M8. Have you thought of upgrading to the M9?

I have a Leica X1 and a Leica M8. The X1 is a superb camera - it has the best image quality that I have ever seen in a compact 'point and shoot' camera. I used to own a Leica D Lux 5. I will confess that while the X1 has much better image quality and build quality than the D Lux 5, I miss the zoom on the D Lux 5 and many of the other features, such as the ability to take really wide angle shots, shoot video etc., But, for a camera that can take pro quality photos and still fit easily in your bag you can't go wrong with the X1. Of course neither of them compare to the Leica M8!
