The EOS-M really has been a revelation for me. It has the manual settings I know from my larger Canon EOS cameras but is small and unobtrusive. Anyway, I have been shooting in jpg and with pre-defined picture styles recently in order to avoid processing altogether. I go for a contrasty monochrome in 16:9 - to me there is a certain movie-like quality in the pictures that I get. One from today which I particularly liked was shot at the Albertina museum in the Vienna city center. The escalators going down to the contemporary exhibition are so nondescript and clean at this point that I initially ignored them. I did notice a large white light wall at the top of them though and from the bottom I thought I could get a nice shot as long as there were no people on them. I then set the camera to overexpose and the live preview gave me the idea that this could look good if I overexpose extremely. Here's the shot, straight out of camera (SOOC):
