This looks absolutely PHENOMENAL. Wow. You did an awesome job here. Thank you so much for sharing. This might very well be my favorite look of all the NX1 posts I have seen yet. Amazing stuff! Did you use Gamma DR or Normal Gamma in camera?

simply STUNNING.

Yeah Ricardo, those look beautiful. Really, really good stuff there. Did you use the Custom picture profile? And are you still underexposing?

I don't wan to hijack the topic, but regarding the exposure I've read that both the NX1 and GH4 are best used up to ISO800 and only up to 1600 if necessary. But if you have to ETTR the GH4 while you underexpose the NX1, wouldn't that in fact give the NX1 the low light advantage? If you have the same lens parameters regarding f-stop and shutter speed, ETTR-ing one by 1 stop while underexposing the other by 1 stop would give you 2 stops lower ISO on the NX1. Am I doing the math wrong in my head?
The screengrabs of Ricardo are mindblowing. Beautiful stylistic grade.

Wow such great response  I too was impressed, this is my fav grading so far, its quite filmic, with enough punch, it looks quite good when playing !
I used Gamma DR with the settings above. I do underexpose, not by a lot, but just enough to save all the highlights without having any clipping. I dont look at the metering, I just set my exposure by eye, so I dont know if I do by 1 stop or 2 stops, just make sure you're not clipping those highlights.

hey, glad everyone liked it Ill share my camera settings as well as grading settings and Lut when I get home from work =)

Heres my settings for the camera on these shots :
Saturation -2 // Sharpness - 10 // Contrast - 3 // Master black level 8 // 16-235 // For these frames I used the Canon 50mm f1.8 and Samyang 24mm f1.4.
As for the grading, I used no input lut, just the Sunderland (deluts) Lut at 100% // Fade 44 and Sharpen at 18,5 (though I will decrease this) !
As for the curves go, heres an image of how it looks, notice I also lowered a bit of saturation on the yellows and reds :

Heres a few more shots with this grading :








Some of these will require noise reduction, some are shot at 1080p others at 4k, and I will probably tweak further.
I find this grading very versatile, it fits mosty of my shots with little to no tweaking, outside, inside, church with those terrible lights and all that.
Hope you guys like it

Heres some new ones of a wedding im editting right now, theres still some stuff to fix on the curve, reduce the sharpness and will probably add some grain, but here it is :



Let me know what you guys think !

DXO mark on the NX1 isnt updated, the NX500 has a higher score, which is quite sad, considering theire recognition, they should update their values.

Loving these ! They look great

Even for 300$ I'd find it expensive,  it should not cost more than 200$, and even then, i'd have 0 interest in this, I bought the Samsung 30mm f2.0 for 150€ and that has full AF and great sharpness...We can get better optics for much less and the "Mods" are useless pieces of plastic. This is doomed since the design stage which is quite flawed.

Yeah, this couple was lovely, easily my favorite couple so far (havent been doing this for too long), and they seem to be very inlove, which makes everything easier to do!

899$ for that ? They must be CRAZY !
Theire mods are no dif. than most filters that we can put infront of a regular lens, for that price (and they even mention it on the video) I could get tens of vintage glass, or go for an Art lens +  lens baby or something, this is doomed to be a failure at that pricetag.
