Leica X-VARIO at 30mm equiv. 1/250th sec F/4.1 @ ISO 400. Shot RAW, CS5 and cropped. I was hanging out in Shinjuku West in the Yodobashi Camera electronics district when I saw these two guys sitting outside a Starbucks. Wow did they stand out. Not only were they foreigners in a sea of Asians, but they were dressed in white newsprint themed suits! I asked Wendell (left) and Leo (right) if I could take a quick shot of them and they agreed. Luckily I was already in RAW mode and didn’t have to fiddle with white balance or worry too much about the exposure or contrast since I could adjust much of it in post production. That’s the beauty of shooting RAW on a larger sensored camera. On a small point and shoot, I rarely shoot RAW because the newer cameras have awesome JPEGs and are pushing the sensors to the limit already. Ricoh, Panasonic, Fuji, Canon, they all have amazing JPEGs straight out of the camera. You may gain a bit of dynamic range and a bit better higher ISO control, but it’s not
