...posterization, not pasteurization !

... so, I picked up the new Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera (I'll have a K-01 review upcoming)...it, like the Q, has the ability to apply a pre-process or a post-process to the image...in the camera, rather than having  to use a computer based post processing image editor...that was a lot of words to say, "do it in the camera",  Verge !

...the K-01 has an assortment of post-process digital filters that you can select, like monochrome, extract, toy, sketch, others, more others, and of course POSTERIZATION, which is not the same as Pasteurization... ...as it turns out, PS is actually a technical problem to be avoided by maintaining adequate bit depth...got it ??? but the interesting part is that the poster problem (PS) creates a bold, vibrant image, that in limited quantity you may like or hate...kind of like the K-01 itself... got it ?

...the K-01 has a plethora of these digital filters available...ALL with adjustable sliders that allow a true "custom" blend or layer of a final pix, to your taste... ...gimiky ? yeah maybe, novel ? somewhat, but bottom line, the option is YOURS, and the process is a breeze...all before you ever download the pix...neat-o !!!






...these pix were shot at the recent Good Guys Hot Rod Show in Colorado, then Posterization applied in camera... I think they would make good "framed wall art" for a man's office or a boy's room, or maybe a men's room, but I do believe they would generate a lot of attention, one way or the other, people will comment ! ...buckle-up-buck-o !
