Klatschmohn und Kornblumen, I don't have seen those in many years!
Thanks for sharing those wonderful images.
K-H.
Thank you very much.So nice to see the german names for wild flowers blooming in the fileds of Lower Silesia/Silesia Inferior/Nieder Schlesien/Dolní Slezsko-one of the most fascinating and mysterious lands of nations from the border in Europe.They really belong to that palce.
You have silesian roots as well (from Opole/Oppeln/Opoli/Uopoli region),as far as I remember from one of your previous posts.And K-H probably stands for Karl-Heinz.:-)
Those feld wilde kamille in front of klatschmohn from the picture numer 8 are sending you greetings from the land of you fathers,my countryman!

Thank you so much Peire for the reminders and pointing out the falsche Kamille in picture number 8. The falsche Kamille looks very similar to the echte Kamille one uses for chamomile tea. My symbol k-h.a.w consists of the initials of my real name Karl-Heinz A. Winkler. No secrets there.
Your always charming and enjoyable pictures of land- and cityscapes, flowers, trees, and buildings full of character of Schlesien look not that dissimilar from the rolling hills of the Weserbergland where I was born and raised and lived for the first two decades of my life. So, although I have never visited your area, if I did, I am sure because of your wonderful images I would feel instantly familiar with and be at home where indeed my father grew up.
I have now been living for more than three decades in New Mexico, the "Land of Enchantment" that couldn't be more different in appearance, but is equally charming to me with its cultures, cities, deserts, mountains, and dry climate.
Easiest is to get a 1/4"-20 GoPro mount and thread it into the tripod socket on the camera, then just fly it upside down. Takes a bit of getting used too but pretty easy. I'd recommend a short HDMI extension as well.

That's awesome, care to share how you mounted it to the 3DR? I bought one for Christmas and would love to mount something better than the Hero4 to it.
More low light images. Taken 20-30 minutes either side of sunset. All handheld, f1.7 to 4.0. All exposure and HDR sliders in Capture One at zero except image #1. Exposure compensation done in camera up to 5 stops. Levels adjusted in Capture One and some sharpening, rotating, and minor cropping done, too. Learned quite a lot this week about exposure and post-processing in digital format....finally!
The first image is the limit of my camera and software regarding exposure compensation. -5 stops, 1/4000, and HDR shadow slider to 100. The sky still looks about 1 off and the ground is way too dark. The rest of the images are pretty accurate, if a bit "Zeiss punchy" Can't change that.
Lens is the Contax 50/1.7 and is my only decentered lens. I kind of stopped using it when I discovered it was decentered but wanted to try it out this time given its speed. I still can't see any evidence that is it decentered in any of the 80+ photos I took over the last two days, however.

shac, Looks like a great day to be outdoors. In your #6 image, I've never seen Mt. Baker and the Twin Sisters from that view. Nice!
taperwood - Yes they were - these were 2 separate hikes - both in the Mt Seymour park, North Vancouver. Lot of snow this year like most places in this neck of the woods. Wonder when Baker trails will be open this summer. One of my favouraite areas for hiking and overnight trips.
Thanks for you "like" and to the others. Despite this thread not getting as many posts as the FF Sony thread - good to see so many great images. I find the APS-C cameras perfect for hiking
