PIXEL SHIFT
This is my first use of the pixel shift feature in the A7R3. It is also my first use of Sony's free downloadable, Viewer and Edit software programs which recognized the multiple RAW pixel shifted images and allow you to create and save a composite RAW image as an ARQ file. The latest upgrade to Lightroom imported the ARQ file for normal editing. Having done all this I can say it really adds to the workflow. Are the results worth it? Too early to say.

Thank you very much! Yes they were happy with the final images.

The San Pedro Creek Culture Park recently opened in SATX. This addition will transform the downtown drainage ditch into a linear park. It aims to highlight the history and culture of the city that originated from the banks of the creek 300 years ago and provides a new public recreational space. More images to come.

The Bromo trip did push the limit of my body. Frankly, I am out of shape
. The hikes were quite strenuous and the driving around in an uncomfortable 4X4 on rough terrain was tough. Twenty or so years earlier, it would have been better to do this trip. The guide and his 2 assistants we hired helped quite a bit though. They carried some of my gear and literally, pushed me and/or pulled me through the toughest sections and we rested quite a bit on the way up. Keep in mind that we had to do it while it was still dark to reach the point to do some astro photography, well before the sun was out. They picked me up at 2:00AM from the hotel. Yes, the view from the higher elevation was breath taking and it was worth-while. The following day, we climbed to a different and even higher elevation but more to the east. Too bad, the fog wasn't that thick in the second morning.
Now, that the trip is over, and I started to forget the aches and troubles, and while looking at the images, I seem to enjoy the trip more and more now
. It seems that you are age-wise younger than myself and you are in better shape, too. So, this trip shouldn't pose any issues. I can give you more info on the guide I used for that trip, Please send me a PM when you are ready.
The images of the Great Wall are spectacular. I have been to Badaling twice but again, not really on a photography trip without much preparation. The section you visited at Jinshanling is absolutely more intriguing and beautiful.That would be awesome Joshua - thank you I'll PM you tomorrow (past midnight here now).
I think age-wise we are not too far apart (I hit 60 this year) ? However I've lost 39 kgs over the past 2 years and hiking in the mountains of Nepal and China has definitely improved my fitness/health. I'd recommend it to most people.
Your trip sounds awesome and yes we tend to focus on the positives and generally forget the negative aspects of any trip or at least their significance lessens - such as my chronic insomnia at extreme altitudes (4,000 -...Show more →
Thank you for the video, Kevin! I was speechless watching it; I watched it again and again. The video shows the advancement of camera-mounted drones at its best. The terrain where the section was built upon is incredibly steep and tough to climb, let alone to built a wall of that magnitude. At the same time it reminds me how many souls were lost for that over so many years and the incredible amount of suffering those folks had to endure, if they survived. It is simply mind boggling.
I am looking forward to seeing your images from those two sections of the Great Wall.

Thanks Joshua. Yes the wall there is incredible - quite magnificent still even in it's dilapidated state. And yes incredibly steep - I went up a number of those steps (e.g Heavenly Steps). One I went up is called Beijing Knot and is very similar to Heavenly Steps except they re not steps as the steps have long since collapsed and it's a straight climb up whatever remains.
It started out looking like about 50m at 75-80 degrees, still a bit of a wobbly legs climb with a 25kg pack on my back (I had camping, photographic & cooking gear plus food and 3-4L (= 3-4kgs) of water since obviously there is no water on the Wall. I'd come off the wall every 2 days to get more water from local villages.
After the initial 50m and just when I thought I'd made it to the top, it flattens out for 20m before there is another 30m climb at 80-85 degrees !! It was starting to get dark and I didn't want to try going down that 50m so the only way was up - it took me 2 hours to climb that 80m
I camped at the very top.
The blog post I'm writing for my new website is going to be called 'Sleeping With A Million Ghosts' since there are hundreds of thousands of bodies buried under and within the walls themselves.

A few shots from one of the most spectacular 'Wild' sections of the Great Wall :
One very tough section with collapsed staircases and vertical climbs (look at the middle area).
There are many sections at Jiankou that require climbs like the next two shots :
The flowers only bloom for 2 weeks of the year (one of the reasons I chose this time)
Campsite ahoy !
More verticals .. this time with warning signs not to proceed !
