Okay, I’ll admit—post-processing can make photos pop with vibrant colors or punchy contrast that grabs attention. But, you know what? The more I look at heavily edited shots, the more I’m drawn to the simplicity of straight-out-of-camera images. There’s something about those less “in-your-face” JPGs—more natural, less flashy—that just feels so refreshing. The Leica M8’s built-in JPGs? Yeah, the white balance can be a bit off, and the colors might not be textbook perfect, but somehow, I can’t stop loving them. It’s like a little bit of magic.
