From Lightroom<\/i><\/p>\n

Lightroom makes it easy to summarize statistical data about your photos, so after a month with the Panasonic G1 I thought it would be fun to see some analytics.<\/p>\n

Of the 750 pictures I have taken with the camera so far, 275 survived the cull (36%) as ‘keepers’ and the following data are for these 275 keepers. My hit rate has really been little changed over the past 40 years or so – if anything, it’s increasing suggesting I am getting better at pre-visualization or less discriminating in my old age ….<\/p>\n

I have the camera set for Aperture Priority with iISO (the camera selects ISO) for all of these.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the CPU selects shutter speeds which favor the lowest possible ISO, consistent with the best image quality:<\/p>\n

I select the aperture in Aperture Priority, and tend to the large aperture end of the range (f\/3.5 to f\/5.6 for the kit lens – 64% of the total), where the lens delivers its best quality – quite a tribute to Panny’s hardware and software genius; I also thus force faster shutter speeds to minimize definition loss from camera shake:<\/p>\n

Here are the shutter speeds set by the CPU:<\/p>\n

Interestingly, I have a significant preference for portrait orientation, with fully 58% being in portrait mode (LR incorrectly refers to this as ‘Aspect Ratio’):<\/p>\n

And, finally, as will come as no surprise to readers of this journal, I am very much a devotee of color, though I started life as a monochrome snapper:<\/p>\n

I have yet to figure out how to summarize which focal lengths of the kit zoom’s are most used – that would be most interesting – but if I do, I will add a piece on that.<\/p>\n

As for my preferred color palette, what most catches my eye on the street, red and blue seem to dominate, as this extract shows:<\/p>\n


\nMy G1 color palette<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

The snaps with a ‘2’ or ‘3’ at the top left indicate that the image has been round-tripped to Photoshop CS2 – 20% in this sample. This is almost always to correct leaning verticals as I am anything but a Photoshop maven. In fact, I detest the product and avoid using it whenever possible. Were Adobe to add perspective correction to Lightroom I would probably completely cease using PS.<\/p>\n

Looking at your statistics can be both fun and a learning experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
