Peter...well... that's one of my favourite and secret spots actually... but since you are a good friend and we are in good company I'll tell you - that's the Hôtel Cacharel located about 6 km northeast of Les Saintes Maries de la Mer in the midst of the Camargue. But Cacharel is way more than a hotel, it's a way of life. If you are looking for luxury or glossy modernity this is not for you. If you want to experience the Camargue in the most authentic way then Cacharel is the place to go. But don't repeat it, please, it's a secret....Show more →
Well, the other day I said I had posted my last Fuji X-Pro2 image with Nikon glass. Well I guess that was fake news
For the time being, I am going to hang on to it for certain lenses. Particularly the lenses with slow aperture that are hard to manually focus on the Df. The EVF, focus peaking, electronic shutter, etc are just too handy for those.
So, I took it out tonight along with the Nikkor Reflex 1000mm f/11 and tried a shot of the moon. I wanted to get one more full/near full moon before the weather turns hot and humid. Even tonight the atmosphere was a little noisy. You could see the waves in the air.
Shot below with the X-Pro2, ISO 250, 1/125sec, electronic shutter, 10s timer. 1500mm effective focal length.
EDIT: Updated the image with zero crop full view. This one processed in a trial copy of Capture One. Giving that at try as an alternative to Lightroom.
Wide open, hand held with the 180 f/2.8 AI-s in the parking lot of a nearby Trader Joe's. I was driving out of the lot when I noticed these brilliant magenta flowers. Spring has definitely arrived in the Bay area...
