.RAF conversion results (July 2012)
The Fuji sensor arrangement makes the conversion RAF to JPG challenging for everybody. I tested 3 applications but still have not found the “Holy Grail” of Fujifilm sensors.
Silkypix (provided): the images are soft, have a “blue” tone and can not solve the greens very well. The results are so mediocre that I thought it was a problem with the camera. Anyway colors are uniform and noise is undetectable so can be useful in some cases.
Lightroom 4: is a good compromise, not so sharp but not so noisy and plenty of controls. But you need to pay for it, learn to use it, and it is not the “official” converter. If you have it, use it.
Therapee 4: gives the sharper and noisier results, it is free and can give good results. The photo size is the same than in .RAF, which is smaller than 4000x3000. It is a good complement for Silkypix users.
JPG from the camera: results are the best and are not time consuming, but you have few controls over it and need to be preset. M size (6mp) is sharper than L size (12mp), Astia film and highlights in low are advisable too.
I wish some company develop a better product to convert these .RAF files easily and better, meanwhile I shoot JPG and for important events RAF + JPG, a big SD card is mandatory.
Good shoots and better conversions ;)

VERY wide depth of field, the ring was about 1m or so away and the background is almost in as much focus.
Overall the pictures are okay. I don't think I'd be using it that often, the 1/80 shutter speed is just a bit too slow unless you stop and stand still.
Also it likes to eat film.

This was a test of shooting the interior of a JR. I used a Nikon D90 with 6 images and my most anti-establishment lens, the 100 dollar 18-55mm VR lens. Post was done Lightroom using "stacks" and then exported to CS3 for the stitch and final adjustments.
No flash was used, this is all ambient light and the use of layers in post
The plan is to go back before the official opening and do the shoot in the AM. This was around noon. I have to get the view out the windows right on the money.

MK U3A outing to Brooklands Museum in Surrey.
Nearing the summit of Test Hill before turning on to the Members Bank, where cars used to race at an angle at speeds of over 100 mph. After taking this shot my wife and I took a ride in the car shown, but fortunately not at racing speeds! Even so the Members Bank was fairly hair raising - an experience to be undertaken once and once only!
FORT DRUM, N.Y. – 10th Combat Aviation Brigade Command Sergeant Major, Command Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Patton, emerges from the water following his first official soak at the Dunking Booth during the 10th CAB’s Fall Festival.

Some preliminary conclusions after these tests about “best performance setting”
My objective was to find the best performance setting for outdoors for my camera.
NOTE: to convert RAF files to JPG I got much sharper results, as well as more noise, using either Lightroom 4 or TheraPee 4 (an open and free software). Setting “extreme sharpness” in the provided software also helps.
My camera shows orbs and in RAW is not as sharp as many other people X10s that show to be amazing out of the box (I am thinking to send it to the service by the way).
Sharpness, it was my main concern and with my camera got the best results using: EXR HD mode but also P mode worked ok, M size, DR 100 and speed over 1/100 if possible. Neither RAW mode nor Large size did achieve the degree of sharpness reached by this setting.
I shoot with IS in mode 2 when hand holding the camera, but I turn it OFF if using a tripod.
To avoid blowing up the highlights I set: EV -0,3, highlights low and Astia film setting.
To avoid “orbs” just keep apart from maximum aperture settings in takes with strong lights over a dark background.
I like to shoot at ISO 100 if possible, going up, even at just ISO 200, show differences. Anyway in very low light I go until ISO 800 in AUTO mode.
I like Astia film setting, colors are a little warmer but balanced, contrast and saturation are not exaggerated. Please consider that RAW mode is not available in EXR mode and/or M size and I need them.
No particular advises over AF modes, they worked perfectly, even in low light.
Shoot lower than 1/800 unless mandatory. I am not convinced about this point, but for sure it is better to go 1/600 at ISO 100 than 1/1200 at ISO 200 (shooting still objects as buildings). It means to avoid using AUTO ISO mode.
Experimenting with ideas from Light Science and Magic.
Strobist Info:
Black card with a hole cut under each tube. Lit with Alien Bee 800 from below. I think I use a white card to add a touch of light to the stalks.
I realised i'd not taken any pictures at all with my 18-35, so had to do a test at 18mm, that's it, nothing new to see here.

I recently purchased a Winsor and Newton Sketcher's Pocket Box with 12 Cotman Watercolors. It also came with a small round folding brush. Thus the comparison with two small water brushes. I like the small size of the box.

The Ultrasonic Test Train at Craigendoran Junction, i know its a bit blurred but what are those reflections on the windscreens ?
Just a test for an idea i've had in my mind for a while, it's not right yet but i might do a small edition when i'm happy with it!

The lens on this still picks up quite a lot of detail. Some loss of resolution and CA/fringing towards the corners. Personally I prefer the look of pictures taken on with a Recesky, if we're doing a DIY head to head.
Overall the pictures are okay. I don't think I'd be using it that often, the 1/80 shutter speed is just a bit too slow unless you stop and stand still.

Il Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico svolge il test prognostico Prosigna™. Il Test si avvale dell’analisi di espressione genetica, per individuare pazienti operate di tumore al seno, che presentano una bassa probabilità di recidiva nei 10 anni successivi all’intervento chirurgico. Prosigna™ offre, in questo modo, all’Oncologo ulteriori informazioni, utili a individuare i casi in cui la chemioterapia può essere evitata. Lo studio NEMESI (BMI C Cancer, 2012), condotto da ricercatori italiani, ha infatti messo in evidenza che il trattamento chemioterapico potrebbe essere evitato nel 25% dei casi e con esso i suoi effetti collaterali.
