Stuck at home with Covid and nothing much to do over Christmas, one of the things I did to kill my boredom, was an experiment on some old Olympus EM5 files.
This church in Parma is/was? off limits for photography, but, I managed to convince the verger to turn a blind eye back in 2019. This church has a double ceiling, the lower one having holes, though which we can see angels and things against a blue sky. Normally this would be a candidate for tripod/ monopod HDR with FF, but I did what I could very quickly with my EM5 and the 7-14.
Still a long way from perfection, but with a lot of automatic and radial masking in Capture 1, I got results that I was not able to get with DXO at the time. One shot was put through Topaz to fix the soft corners. Putting old files through modern software really is like a major upgrade to these older cameras. I pay about €100 for C1 BTW.
The Architect was Bibbiena.
