SPIRES 2. - a photo on Flickriver

SPIRES 2.

Processed Nikon Z8 file to compare to the "film sim processing" the X100VI carried out (previous upload here: www.flickr.com/photos/201769513@N07/54936923758/in/datepo...).

I like both I guess for different reasons.

White balance shift has put huge distance between both images colour wise. But more interestingly to me, the cloud rendering in the Z8, every detail captured...the Fujifilm (shot at the same time, same scene) has blended them out almost completely for an ultra smooth gradient.

Kinda blows my mind, didn't expect such disparity.

Happy with both, going to be interesting comparing these going forward.
