A break from infrared...just ran across this from last December and finally processed it. Japanese maple leaves at Shiojiri Garden, Mishawaka, Indiana. A7RII, Pentacon 50/1.8.
I might have shared this one before? I can't remember.
I blew the highlights. I didn't realize that my meter was set to spot. After this shot I adapted accordingly, but this was still the best facial expression of the set, so you take what you can get.
Again with the Olympus OM 180mm f/2. There's no CA correction in Lightroom here. None at all, even with the high contrast edges purple fringing is non-existent and CA is only ever so slightly visible--there's a tiny hint of green on the edge of the collar on the right shoulder.
Loxia 85mm @ f8, handheld a7r - a surefire guarantee of unsharpness ;-). Pretty windy too, no guard rail 700 metres above the river. No corrections, never use them with good lenses, this one has 1% pincushion and assess the CA yourself. Standard sharpening, nothing special for the crop.
not much of a photo, can't even read the fine print on the tarchok, this wasn't even the object focused on.
Inside the high dukhang (assembly hall) in the 1200 year old monastery, this Loxia 85mm one was shot at ISO 4000 and 1/100s, wide open. Had to swap to FE55 and RX1, due to body sway after the haul up the stairs. Miss a planar surface by 1/2 inch and it's gone.
Much of Trondheim is surrounded by a huge forested area called Bymarka. Much of it are protected and can only be used for recreational purposes. I already knew that we live close to it, but have never been able to find a good access point. Always a long way to walk past boring areas before getting anywhere interesting.
In the beginning of summer I stumbled upon a nondescript path behind some houses close to home and decided to check it out. After just a couple minutes it took a surprising turn and suddenly I arrived at a sign-posted crossing with lots of paths and realized that I had finally found easy access to Bymarka. Now I have almost unlimited choices in walking paths very close to home, and in various nature types such as groves of aspen, dark spruce/pine forests, meadows, bogs etc.. So nice!
On another level, page 2500 (!) of our thread is coming up, a significant milestone. How about we each post on this special page just one picture which we consider especially nice, in tribute to this thread, the forum that it is part of, its founder, and our favorite camera?
