Gary: Nice shots, but the Bokeh is quite nervous.

Joakim - those fall colors look great!
Werner - I agree about the bokeh. In certain circumstances, it makes me feel sick.
Edward - that last "shopping" pic is really good. Great (minimal) PP as usual. Real nice portrait as well. That 85/2 renders so nicely.

Thomas: lovely MTB shot so vivid!
Gary: I like the last summitar shot best. You inspire me to pull out my bokeh monsters
Edward: beautiful portrait. Looks like the 85 is well calibrated. Love to see some leafy bokeh from that lens sometime
Werner, more nice shots with excellent comp.
Well, to finish my last hike, I was at the big lake you see in my post last page and walked over the nearby divide near sunset to another world:
L1022293 by unoh7, zm18 f/4
Horizon be damned, right?
L1022308 by unoh7, 50cron f/16
L1022317 by unoh7, 28 cron f/16
L1022363 by unoh7, 90rit f/6.7
L1022359 by unoh7, 90rit f/8
as you can see, at that hour the view both gorgeous and terrible.
Consequences of an extreme fire like this are great. Rain events will wash the now unheld soils into the creeks, affecting stream health for at least a generation.
This kind of Hiroshima-like devastation is not "natural" but a combination of oversurpressing fires for 100 years, allowing extreme fuel loads to build, and a much warmer climate in this area in the last 25 years, which has allowed the bugs to really go crazy, killing as many trees as the fires.
Hence this is not a cycle but a transformation to a hotter, more dry landscape like the hills above LA.

Thank you very much Gary and Charlie, and thanks for the likes everyone!
Nice shots from all, Werner, Gary, Charlie, Nico, Joakim, Allen.
Charlie, yes I will try to get some leafy bokeh soon

Gorgeous shot Gary
Werner, what do you call this type bokeh?
Hysterical ?

L1022645 by unoh7, Nikkor 5cm f/1.4 WO
L1022619 by unoh7, Nikkor WO
I find the crazy bokeh fun, and highly variable. Indoors with walls and windows, it's smooth, if still surreal, but in the leaves, like many fast old lenses, the wild heart shows
this one from 1954 i think.

Hi guys, just wanted to share some thoughts on colors and profiling on the M. I wrote a longer post in LUF about this but I feel a bit more relaxed here so I'm going to keep it short. Basically I feel that the M tends to have hot reds more specifically on the highlights where it tends to bleed more red/yellow. I worked on a preset that can produce cooler yet natural colors on the M and I'd like to share them with you.
Here are the links for the presets (lightroom):
1. main preset (color calibration and color curves)
main preset
2. split tone preset (to further cool highlights)
split preset
Samples of before and after are below. The preset is best used for skin tones in natural light and its NOT always going to improve colors but I believe it works quite often. Note the samples have exactly the same white balance, exposure etc. There are no local adjustments the only differences are listed above in the preset effects.
If you want to read further details on the presets you can see my post in LUF
here, I didn't think there was a need to post a new thread in FM so I've posted it in the current M/X/T thread. There are some caveats to the presets, one is the tonal change and the second is your BW conversions will be cooler (this is fixed by resetting the color curves and not applying split toning). Hope its useful for you guys

Some before and after pics with still life. Sorry I haven't been commenting on individual post, I've been a bit busy with work and other stuff but I frequent this thread and I've been enjoying the pics you guys are posting.

here again the "lens that made nikon":

The real wildness needs a close subject---I need to shoot it with my CF adapter on the A7.
