I still find it amazing that people get out in the cold for this hobby
It was 54 hear last night and I wouldn't go out this morning till about 10 am
I used to be a Flyers fan back when they were known as the "Broad Street Bullies"
went to a few games at "The Forum"
They always said "Went to a Fight and a Hockey game broke out"
I watched curling this year when the Russian Woman was on
but I hate to be cold

I’m impressed with how well LR did here. Usually Capture 1 is the tool I would use to defish a lens...better algorithm. But this, very nice.
There's some cropping going on, but mostly I find that the Nikon 16mm f2.8AF lens profile, set at about 90-95% distortion correction, does the job fairly well for me. I've also tried the Sigma 15mm FE profile, and that seems to work OK too. What I'd really like is mutliple profiles for the FE, such as linear projection, stereographic, equidistant etc. I don't quite understand what it all means, but I can see the impact on the results. There's that option for the m43 FE that I use, comes in handy depending on the scene.

Nice Pano, Jose. We never did make it that far northwest in our trip to Italy, but I have warm memories of a conversation I had with an Italian photogrpaher from Genoa when we were both waiting for good light in the evening at Cinque Terra. It was a wonderful 90 minutes spent getting to know someone from a completely different culture, not to mention watching a beautiful setting undergo the change from late afternoon to twilight.

In the Genoa's Lighthouse I found a (dirt) poster with an old shot of the port, presumably a view of more than 100 years ago, stating there was the same local of the original photo. As you can see below, not exactly the same point, since I take the below's shot at the point of the poster, and we can see at the city the church towers are not exactly positioned at the same in relation to the background mountains. Anyway an interesting comparison of the changing in the port since late XIX century:

That looks like some major hillside stabilization on the left side of the image. Nice pano Jose.
My good old buddy passed away this last weekend. I wanted to share one of my favorite shots of him. He was my go to test subject whenever I got a new old lens or testing out an adjustment after a CLA, etc. Very patient
Used the 85mm f/1.4 AIS wide open on this shot adapted to the X-T2 using the Metabones SpeedBooster Ultra.
