Rafael, looks like it's working well. Is this found in LR or Photoshop?

One more thing. I noticed a little straight line in the arc of the rainbow just right of your house. I'm sure it's not there in the original, because I experienced the same thing in one of my shared images. Wonder what it is.

Leighton - That AI noise reduction is found in both PS and LR.

Looks like a very nice holiday/retirement spot. You can see people dining out in the distance. Resolution matters, after all.

Andy, that's a beautiful scene. I can't believe the level of detail I can see in the flickr version.

Leighton, it is in the LR and photoshop noise menu, Nonoise AI, it introduces few if any artifacts. For this photo the ISO was low but my exposure was loo fast with the dark areas extremely noisy. I could not see the straight section you mention, the rainbows varies across the arc depending on light and water droplets

Ray, this looks like a great area to take images. The first in your most recent post shows some nice construction detailing and material use. I especially like the board formed concrete patterning. Touring the freighter would be fun.

It is a fun place to hang out for awhile and do some shooting. There is also a skating ribbon that may provide some fun photography this winter. This development is the centerpiece of the local metropark's major investment of the downtown waterfront. Let's hope the $200M (when all is said and done) pays off in the long term with both social and economic returns. The freighter has been an attraction on and off for a few decades, now bolstered by being a part of The National Museum of the Great Lakes.

I spotted a Louis Vuitton store during my hi-res scan over on Flickr.
The residents must be very well-heeled.

The Antique Warehouse, all 12,000 square feet of it, had more stuffed animals than I have ever seen collected into one space. 99% of it was White Tail Deer. Some of it I found disturbing, because an animal lost its life for some untrained amateur to reduce its likeness to an abomination. Others were just a bad idea (a bob cat rug with head attached), and an enormous African Eland bust (well over 6 feet tall) whose head was into the rafters with the wings of a 10 foot radio control plane. I managed to embarrass my youngest son telling him that what he thought was a large Northern Pike wasn't even a keeper on Isle Royal. I told him about a six foot one a guy got in Chickenbone lake on the island - and he hushed me saying "you sound like a crazy old man". Of course, I must have said it 2 or 3 more times for effect, and I could see my next oldest son (who always got my humor) was laughing a few feet away. What fun! I didn't take pictures of most of the animals.


Just something about the bobcat and book positioning didn't feel right






The largest Antelope in the world is slightly heavier than the taller North American Moose

The family has developed a new "kitschy" gift exchange that has grown beyond the usual exchange. We set up a name draw on line, set a low allowed budget, and the gift receiver must proudly display (a chance to insert humor) the gift for one year. I found some advertising ephemera that may fit the bill, but along the way things caught my eye. Again the D850 with Nikkor 50mm f1.2 ais and the tc-16a.

I really like your first image of this kitschy pair, Jim!

Don't see too many Yaks in our part of the world. I understand they are very docile, which is a good thing considering the horns. 50-135mm f3.5 ais.

This is a great, classic shot, Leighton! And the leading line of manure piles ending at the yak's face is a humorous and unexpected little compositional nugget.

This is a real showstopper, Jay. Nice catch!


I have good news: I'm well past halfway through my seemingly endless collection of photos from the early fall. Unfortunately---until I can either get outdoors again during these shortening days, or I can find time to do some indoor shooting---this is all I've got for now. The set below is from Nile Creek with my D800E and the 50 f/1.4 SC (first photo) and the 28 f/2 N (other three shots).

Love the second art photo Ray.

You photos are art Glen, specially the last two.

Trying to better my one fall tree photo, took out the 10mm OP which makes the center bigger than other fisheyes, and deployed the filters to see what might happen:

Here is ysterday's photo with the 7.5mm 5.6:

Today's photo with the 10mm 5.6 OP

Nikon Nikkor 10mm 5.6 OP Z7 arizona walnut 07 by Rafael Batlle, on Flickr

I liked the first one better. Tree is in a little gully and the 7.5mm with linear angular projection keeps the banks, the 10mm orthographic projection compresses the banks making the photo simpler.

So to help the 10mm I deployed the filters:

Here's the aforementioned historic steamer the Earnslaw and the wharf eateries, "The Boardwalk Oyster Bar" etc. The Louis Vitton store is on terra firma nearby next to a bar doing oysters and Bollinger for $160 (not sure how much of each are included but probably one of those "If you have to ask you can't afford it" kinda places)

The Steamer goes to the head of the lake to a nice little village by the name of Glenorchy

You're such a master with your numerous fisheye lenses, Rafael. Ever impressed. For what it's worth, since you presented all of them, I'll take the 7.5mm short over the 10mm OP's. Centre may not be large but I take it for the larger image circle. The edges of the circle also have much more defined vegetation, unlike the 10mm's. It's got quite a bit of flare too but I'm not easily offended by imperfections.

Great story-telling Andy. FTR, I couldn't find the aforementioned high end luxury shop in the photo. I just love the setting of the whole place, I'm not surprised it's the place to be. BTW: All NZ photos must be in colour . That way I get to appreciate the beauty of that Fuji sensor in all its glory.

Is there anything you can't shoot in the dark, Colin? Plena people should be using this as a "balls" test. Very cool.
