Where and when can we see this? Are you involved with this? It looks AMAZING!
I'm not involved. When I was in college in the 1980s I saw both Meyerowitz and Davidson speak and saw their exhibits at the time. Davidson's new book was Subway and Meyerowitz had just finished Red Heads.
I think it's going to premiere at one of the big film festivals. I can't remember which one. Then it's going to be hopefully in theaters and if not PBS.
Thank very much Peter and Ryan for the kind words
Ryan, excellent series! My favourites are with the 50 Nokton II. I also really like the last portrait with the Canon 100
Joakim, lovely shot! I am noticing a slight magenta edge on the left, which I did not think would apply to the 50's any longer after the latest FW updates.
Peter, stunning shots, particularly the last shot of the birch trees!
Peter - fantastic series! Those reflections are wonderful.
Joakim - Lovely, tranquil shot.
Also, thanks everyone for the information on fixing my issues with the CV 15mm...
Another question - or rather an issue I'm having. Does everyone have a calibrated monitor? What kind do you have? Mine is calibrated, but I'm not sure that the calibration is all that accurate. Not necessarily with colors, but more with the brightness level. When I edit to taste on my desktop, I am very careful with brightness values, as I don't like an overly-bright image. But when viewing the image on my other two computers (another desktop and a laptop) or on kindle fire or iphone - they all look too bright! When you calibrate, it says to keep the room dark, but if I calibrate it in the dark, could it be making my calibration TOO dark?
Some from today with the new-to-me Nokton 50 1.5. I think my adapter sucks, because framelines are waaay off (more like showing a 35mm) and it doesn't line up straight when mounted (it's cocked/rotated to the right).
Katie, congrats on the Nokton 50/1.5 Very nice lens, just a shame about the adapter.
With respect to monitor calibration, there is a lot of info out there. Personally I use NEC PA 24" monitors with SpectraViewII hardware calibration software. The NEC's are cheaper, and more than good enough for my work. About every 4 weeks I calibrate my 2 NEC PA's as well as my MacBook Pro 17" with X-Rite i1 Display Pro. I have attached a link on specifically calibrating the NEC's, but at the bottom there is discussion on contrast and intensity levels which is interesting, and specific to your question. For printing the contrast ratio set point should be a lot lower, around 200:1 and intensity setting at 90 or 100 depending on the brightness of you viewing environment.

The website has a lot of very interesting articles on color management too
Charles, thanks for catching this. I don't have the original available right now but it might have been me who messed up the tint when I adjusted the WB, I'll check it tonight since I'm curious about it. I like the composition and presence in your latest 21 SEM photo.
Peter, great set.
Katie, I like the dog photo. About calibration, I try to keep my room lit the same way as when I am working when I do the calibration.
Edward, I am using auto profiles, and I suspect it is the vignetting that you are seeing. Usually the residual redness is on side, and cyan on the other. I will definitely keep an eye on this
Joakim, very nice series of the fishing boat arrival
