It is very interesting with the regrowth in areas after disturbances. My son is finishing up his PhD in coastal forestry resilience promoting forest regeneration and managing invasive species after hurricanes, flooding, fire, etc.
So I guess that is what prompted my memory from your post. I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I remember your post from 7 years ago. Power of images right?

Wow George that was 7 years ago - it is amazing how the vegetation renewed itself. There is a pioneer plant - the tick berry - which took over and grew into sizable shrubs. A los of the burnt shrubs and bushes regenerated themselves and we are back to where we started.. It stays green all year round and we have a fairly high annual rainfall which gave rise to a thriving timber industry from the 1700's to about 1950 when most of the big trees in the forests had been cut down. They are also slowly making a comeback but most of the trees grown now are exotic pines and eucalypts for the lumber industry....Show more →
Appreciate the thoughts and links. I don’t think it’s a color space issue per se but maybe. If you look at the OOF area top right in the yellow leaf pic you’ll see what’s bugging me. It’s like the transitions from blues to yellows gets a band around it. Similar to what can happen if you push shadows too hard etc but it’s color related. Probably an oddity in the settings setup of the A7III I was using, haven’t seen it on the A7II yet but will keep an eye out. I had an A7III and A7RIII previously and never noticed so trying to figure out where it’s coming from.

The specs for compressed vs uncompressed raw on the Sony A7III is 14 bit - many many billions of colors (levels of color luminosity). The color space you shoot in can help in the down sampling. Pro, Adobe, and sRGB the choices in most cameras, and in the A7II it is only srgb, and Adobe. I would set it to Adobe, because it's palette of colors is about 20-30% greater (both are in the 2-3 millions of color levels of luminosity), and both fit within the 16.7 million color jpg container file (bucket) You can test your compressed vs uncompressed raw by saving it as a 16 bit tif. The 16 bit container file (bucket) can hold 281 trillion colors (or shades of color levels of luminosity) So, I doubt you will see any difference. I would just make conversion to the srgb profile the very last step in imaging the file so it's colors look right on the web.
EDIT
Here is a really good explaination of color space. If you scroll down to the color chart with all three spaces overlaid - you can visually see the differences.

Good morning from a sunny Knysna.
A couple of panos of the view from our deck at 6:45 am today - looks promising.

This is a "drive-by shooting" of a different sort that always leaves me feeling peaceful.. 11 months ago on one of my favorite streets - Butterworth Dr. D850 with the 24mm f2.8 ais - one handed through the windshield, not looking through the camera.

Winter wonderland, love these! Especially the trees in #4.

Jim, you’re making me cold, but awesome shots. Ross, your fall images are great, well seen with the red tree amidst the birch.
Haven’t gotten shots of pelicans for a while. It’s always amusing to me how grumpy they look. 400mm f/5.6
I really like how your background in #1 gives perfect context, while also being soft and not distracting.
Thanks and agree, working off a pier, so I had limited options but that one stood out for context. The misty morning helped with a nice low contrast background for separation.

Good bit of shooting recently, it’s been the warm, foggy weather I love in the spring and fall. But little time to process or keep up with the pace here (love it). I’ve tried to dole out the well deserved likes, sorry to any I’ve missed. One from yesterday with the 85mm f/1.8 K mount.
I really like this, Matt. Almost like a tangled necklace.

I love your neighboorhood, Oom. It's not talked about enough but man, I could be very happy living there.
. It's always felt a bit like going to another country, so far, so vast but oh so inviting.
