>>4481116>>4481117I actually have the R6 II myself. I think I may not fully grasp the struggle of shooting lowlight without a high-performing full-frame sensor, though my vague foreknowledge of that problem was one of the reasons why I chose it as my first serious camera. I totally get what you mean about just achieving a look I want, and I agree with the idea. Though I'm so new to high-end photography (e.g., deliberately controlling exposure) that I feel like I just want to nail down the 'correct' ways of doing things before I stretch my legs and do whatever I want. Even though I'm aware that there is no such thing as a strict 'correct' way to do things. I'd rather break established norms and rules deliberately rather than simply operate without knowing what those are.
I've got to say, it might be because of the R6 II's dynamic range that lifting shadows feels so magical; I've done casual image processing and design for most of my life at this point, but I've never worked with images near the quality of the RAW shots from this camera, so it's been amazingly fun to tread totally new territory and finally be surprised again by what you can do with image processing. Picrel is a recent one I took where the only light was from a single candle. Not a great example of the style I had mentioned since the light is a bit harsh, but I'm very impressed with what this camera can do, and I don't even really know how to use it yet. This image is brighter here than the actual scene was to my eyes
