Adding this shot back again. No matter how I save it, it just does not match the sharpness I have on my iPad. Processed in Lightroom iPad.
GFX/PC-Nikkor 28mm f/3.5
Beech tree in the foggy woods while out on the trails again. Happy weekend

Love how you framed it between the 2 big trees.
I have the same problem it seems from time-to-time with the image posted here not matching what I see on my monitor.

Did you process these on the new monitor? 2nd and 3rd image seem to have an overall magenta cast (esp visible in the clouds) and some of the blown highlights in the cloud also have a color shift going on. Nice compositions and subjects though! 👍
Lately I‘ve seen a couple of forest images in this thread with a very apparent magenta cast, not sure if they were from you or someone else. It often happens because the camera gets confused by all the green in the scene and overcorrects the white balance to magenta. The most telling sign is purple tree trunks that should be a reddish brown. ...Show more →
Thanks for your kind words, fjablo. No, I didn't process these photos on the new monitor. I just finished getting the new computer set up with all the right hardware, peripherals, wiring (it's in a room never before used by me for this purpose) and software, so I have yet to get started on using it for processing photos---that is my plan for this weekend. I won't be able to calibrate my monitors until the spectrophotometer arrives in the mail sometime within the coming week or so. However, Asus promises that my new monitor has been well calibrated at the factory (in fact---in a novel example of slick marketing---they included a "Color Calibration Testing Report" in the box with the monitor, with some impressive-looking charts and graphs on it ), so I am hoping that the results I achieve this weekend will be free of any colour cast, magenta or otherwise.
For today, I have my final set of previously processed images from the 2023 Hot August Nights classic car show. These were taken with my Fuji X-T4, Lens Turbo II, and the 24 f/2.8 NC (first two) and the 35 f/2 OC (third one).

I am enjoying your nighttime cityscapes.
Thanks Leighton. Alas, not much more to share on that subject matter.
Being self-conscious whilst yielding a camera I do feel most comfortable after dusk.

I’ve actually stayed in that hotel! Hotel Schwartzen Adler was a nice place. We were there for a week skiing back in the late 80’s.
Kevin,
That's freaky!
We used to ski St. Anton back in the late 80's since we were living in Munich at the time.
Were you there in March '88 - the time the avalanche hit the town? We arrived the weekend after the dreadful event and couldn't believe the devistation that we witnessed. In December '88 we also drove through Lockerbie the day after PanAm 103 had been blown out of the air by a terrorist bomb. We had flown into London and hired a car in order to travel to Scotland to spend Christmas with my parents. That was the most surreal thing we have ever witnessed.
Ulmer Huette. We stopped for a refreshment at the outdoor bar.
Top right on the horizon is Schindlerspitze gondola lift at 2648m.
There is a nasty little traverse to take you away from the gondola station to get onto the wide piste, down past the other chairlift, to get to the mountain hut. From the Ulmer Hut the run takes you down into the valley. Amazing! The gondola that takes you to the Valuga (2800m) is visible. We didn't travel on the Valugabahn since it is for expert skiers only and you need to have a mountain guide with you (as well as all the avalanche gear)

We were in St Anton the week before. We left several hours before the avalanche. It freaked my mom out for weeks.
My mom was born in Ginsburg outside of Ulm and the family had property in Munich. We were in Germany from 1983-1991.
Haha, I know right ! I likened it to a Martian landscape and having never been skiing I can only imagine the difference.

Wow Andy, seeing that landscape intended for skiing but without snow looks painful with all the exposed rocks. What a difference the seasons make
Here's a couple of shots of a small nearby lake. I pass the sign all the time, it says "Lake Johnson 1km", someone at work mentioned it so I thought I'd pop in for a look/walk.
Looking towards the hills/away from Queenstown

If you put [ img] and [ /img] tags in front and behind the URL (minus the extra spaces inside the brackets, the image should show in the forum.
This is the first time someone has told me an image doesn't appear.
I see it in the original post, using both Safari and Firefox browsers on MacOS. At least one other person saw it too, as it got a "like", as have some of my other posted photos.
As far as I can tell, the frame tag centers the image within a small frame, centered, while the img tag shows just the image, flush-left.

I’m a Mac person as well. Safari on iOS just shows the url. Chrome on my Mac also showed just the link. The img tag though, works everywhere.
