Another tag-along trip, with history and avoiding the crowd - thank you Serge

Leighton, great catch of the rainbow.

Ray, nice warm glow and reflections from the o-35/2.

Verona is perhaps best known as the setting of Shakespeare's romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet's house, the original dates to the 13th century and belonged to the Capello family. It was purchased by the City of Verona in 1905 and was shortly thereafter totally rebuilt without much regard to its original design.

Capello resembles Juliet's family name Capulet, the similarities combined with Imagination and clever marketing transformed the home to the popular attraction it is today. The small balcony overlooking the courtyard was added in the 1930s

Photoshop since 1989, and a bit of Lightroom (<mainly as a DAM).

Have a great Nikkor 105mm f/1.8 AI-s for sale on the buy/sell board, as sadly my Nikon-less kit leaves it unused these days. Would love to see someone make art with it again!

Leighton,

When I go to this image in your Flickr it doesn't appear in full size when I click on it to expand it. On my 4k monitor it looks like clicking on the image limits it to 2048 pixels on the long edge.

However I can see different image size options, via the download icon, and can download the maxed sized image of 6048x4099. Looks fine and sharp to me.

What do you have set in your Flickr settings? Maybe the truncation is happening here?

I have:

From the BBCode menu I usually select Large: 1600 pixel option for

Thanks for replying. I have my Flickr settings like I've always had. My jpegs out of LN are around 6.5 megs. I'm going to post another at 1600px to see if that makes any difference.

Leighton, I did not comment on the issue you were seeing with the very first picture of the dealer as it seemed okay to me. However, the crates do show the difference, with the FM hosted picture being noticeably less sharp compared to the flickr image. The flickr image seems really sharp, but it seemed like you were observing the opposite?


Thanks Siphiwe, I may have gotten it backwards. I've posted so many test images, I'm getting mixed up.

For Colin. Here's one from Flickr at 1600px on the long in. This actually seems a bit better. But not as good as what's on Flickr.

Excellent Leighton! I also note that you used the "proper" lens for this shot. :-)
Maybe next we can have the Library/City Hall posted to complete the home town for our members?

Ok, THIS one is my last test image and I very much apologize as it's not mine and it's not even shot with a MFL. It comes from a Z5. I took the NEF file off the web, ran it through LN and did what I have been doing and uploaded to Flickr and now to here.

Looks pretty good to me.

Jack, he is not the only one that remembers Moose Drool. I don't think Hubby even believed me until we saw it in a store at YE.
I was the idiot standing in the middle isle and laughing while I pointed it out to him! Great to see you here!

I have not shot with MFNG for a bit while. So, I took out 55/1.2. It is still quite a joy to use this lens. Cross posted from Z images thread.



Luka, these are beautiful and I sure wish I was standing where you were taking them!

I do not like subscription, period. So, I use Capture One and DXO.

On Flickr, it's sharp as a tack. But not when it gets here. Click the Flickr link to see it for yourself. I give up!

Z6 is a nice camera. Probably can get pretty low these days.

Thank you so much for the complement. I really enjoyed looking through and work on these images. I am working to develop my eyes to find the scene and the lens that justifies what I want to get/ express from the scene. I know it takes a while but am enjoying the process.

I have trouble sharpening for FM, for me I find more detail with a small radius helps, but that’s a bayer sensor so not sure with x-trans.

As the saying goes, "I don't want to whip a dead horse". But, is anyone else experiencing soft images when shared on this thread compared to what they see on their computer?

The reason I'm asking is that I have a theory that it may have something to do with the Xtrans sensor of my Fuji, but I'm not sure. Or...perhaps it may be sharing from Flickr. I'm bound to find out.
