Thanks, John !
Not sure I'll get enough ''photographic stamina'' until end of march... :)

Francis, this is a stunning color coordination!
John, it looks surprisingly clean for the day after Carnival. :D
Fons, this is soooo lovely!
-
Thanks, Akira !
It's actually the colour of the wall I used as background. I just made it paler as my guitar is black satin (Epiphone Les Paul Gothic) and was quiet dark, so I needed to lighten the image to get more details. ;)

John, it looks surprisingly clean for the day after Carnival. :D
Yes, have too many shots with piles of plastic cups :) I looked for a minimalistic approach

Thanks for noticing Bjørn. I processed the image by enhancing contrast and saturation quite a bit to make the gentle, peaceful morning light contradict the harshness of the graphic elements in the picture.

I made a lot of decisions and did all the necessary things to make them happen. Now I am tired. I have to lay back and wait till the gras grows from the seeds.

Another grey day.
Different park, different Crocus. Same lens and now with the close up lens 6T but little effect on a 20mm of course. The 20/2.8 AF is a fine lens, central sharpness is great, a bit soft corners wide open, little distortion, some field curvature, but the real advantage with the 20/2.8 is the auto-focus and small and portable size. And the Df seems to like the lens ;)
Cut out the vignetting caused by the 6T.

Thanks, John. The color of Fuji shines for this kind of motif.

New comers at home for the weekend. In the school where my girlfriend works, a batch of 10 hen eggs arrived in an incubator few days ago, ready to hatch. Thus, the pupils can observe the hatching. take pictures, drawing and most importantly, learn.
So, my girlfriend is the mother for the weekend !

March 2017 seems very boring, again grey and rainy.
The heavy storm on February 24th caused quit some damage.
In the nearby 'Wilhelminapark a 125 year old Silver Linden or Silver Lime (Tilia tomentosa) got serious damaged when the complete top of the tree collapsed. 15 meter came down. It appeared to be a very rare variant of the Silver Linden, the var. Pendula. The coming week experts will check whether the tree can be saved, at least, the remains of the tree...

We're fortunate in the low-elevation coastal regions of northern California to have a relatively mild climate for the so-called temperate zone. Winters have usually have moderate rainfall and no snow. There's enough cold to satisfy most deciduous fruit trees, yet actual frost is only an occasional occurrence.
By March it's usually starting to warm up, and we're about to get a burst of plant growth and flowers. Today we had a low-pressure area move through with scattered clouds and rain, and snow on the higher hills, yet at 7 degrees C it was still mild compared to regions with cold winters. So far we've had about 750 mm of rainfall since the rainy season started in October which is well above the average to date. Other locations favored by topography have had much more.
One of the pleasures this time of the year is the annual flowering of the ornamental plum trees:

Three Fuji GFX
Fuji Roadshow at my brick & mortar dealer this morning.
I will buy this camera as soon as the GFX-bellows for my sinar p2 is ready, which I will order today.
The view finder is nice for slow photography, but not as nice as I had hoped for.
The AF is OK for mirrorless contrast only but it is far off what you can expect from current Olympus offerings.
Manual focus drive-by-wire? I always hated this.
But in the environment I want to use this camera in, as a digital back for professional food photos it is manual focus it is tethering, it is perfect.
-
#36: Wonderful Monday, Fons!
#35: Love the poetic rendering of this plum tree blossom.
#20: Funny effect. Sleeping & awake at the same time!
-
Finally we had some sun in the morning...
Sunny Monday morning ;)
-
PS: The GFX has voice recording per picture as we know and love it from the D2/D3/D4/D5... It is only 30 seconds, but I did never need more than 15 to record a name and function.
PPS: The view finder stutters if you pan. It is quite OK if you hold the camera still. No lag on the rear screen so that is a VF issue

Still grey and rainy, but the sun shows up now and then. And nature develops itself as the light and sun gets stronger...

California seems to be at the confluence of over a dozen of so-called "atmospheric rivers" this season which means more rain than in many years past. But it is all to the good as it bring out colors and saturation. In a few weeks these will be cherry blossoms.

Especially Sports and Royalty-watching the Canon seems in the majority often paired with the 'standard' f/2.8 zooms. Carrying two camera's with f/1.4 primes is my usual approach giving a lot more 'optical' flexibility.

I wasn't sure what the translation to English would be, because I wasn't sure which attribute of the light you were referring to. It turns out that the translation is "oblique light" which is certainly the case on the front of the building. In any case the lighting creates a very nice effect that complements the clouds in the sky.
Thomas, those crocuses are amazing!

What do you mean with Coma, Fons?

Nice and relaxed shot John. That background sure seems smooth and doesn't have the double lines and nervousness that most of the Nikon's 55/1.2 or 50/1.2 or 50/1.4 often have.
-
Thanks Peter.
Yes, that did surprise me. I have the 50/1.4 S-Auto but that has indeed a nervous bokeh. The 5.8cm f/1.4 is far from perfect, field distortion, weak corners but center, DOF and bokeh are great. It is also part of the Nikkor Thousand and One Tales.
"In terms of the balance between aberrations, this lens was typical of the early Gauss-type lenses. The addition of a convex lens to the front group was superbly effective in correcting spherical aberration. Longitudinal (axial) chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration were both minimized and the astigmatism correction was excellent." http://www.nikkor.com/story/0040/ (http://www.nikkor.com/story/0040/)
-
What do you mean with Coma, Fons?
The copy i used on Df was quite temperamental, colour aberations, uneven exposures so high failrate, though i managed to get some good ones also.

You must have had a lemon, I think. Mine is mint as if it never was used, late serial number, Ai'd, perfect with exposure, very minor chromatic aberrations and a very low fail-rate for a f/1.4 lens wide open.
-
Also some kind of Noct?
Looks like it, although I never used a Noct. "The focal length of 5.8cm represented a trade-off between the decline in performance caused by ensuring the necessary back focus and the need to set a focal length that still fell within the range that would allow the lens to be termed a standard lens. For a short telephoto lens, however, this was a fairly workable focal length. The Noct-Nikkor lens, which was released later with a focal length of 58mm, emulated the 5.8cm f/1.4 in this regard." http://www.nikkor.com/story/0040/
I compared the bokeh of the lens briefly with the 55/1.2 Ai and 50/1.2 Ai-S and the the 5.8/1.4 is softer and creamier with a more gradual transition.

Walking on IR, Sevilla. "Torre del Oro" (the tower of gold) in the background. It is landmark where gold coming from America used to be stored.

Looks like a photographic painting from the 19th century, Paco. ;) Very special effect.

Paco, Wonderful silhouette of the kid
-
Thanks Armando, she was fascinated by the sharks.
Fons, I like the busy branches frames, specially the first one with the reflections.
-
Great shot Paco. The silhouette works very nice with the background.
Wonderful colours with the 35-70/3.5 AI Fons. One of the few lenses that can make pastel-like tones.

As of today, I put myself into the "I have no idea what I´m doing" category for infrared postproduction. Having fun and doing ti at will with very different levels of success.

Good weather approaching, but still a cold wind.
Time to enjoy the Spring ;)

Fredriksfors Ironworks, est. 1771, has been restored nicely and is an open air museum area. Unfortunately closed until summer, so we couldn't see and shoot much. This is about half an hour from my home town.

Today for once the weather is not miserable :)
-
Cool shot, John. Now that I think of it, this is probably the first time I see scaffolding around a chimney.
-
Awesome shot Fons, I love it. Superb!
-
Aah, the signs of spring. Nice shot Simone. I think we will have to wait here a couple more weeks for the first daffodils.

thanks Peter, your shot is certainly no slouch

Thanks Peter. There are not many chimney's left here. Only a three remained from the more than hundred chimneys which stood near each Textile mill in the 19th century.

Which fisheye Peter?
-
Fons, it is a two-shot "panorama" with the Samyang 8mm. I think it was Bjorn who gave the tip of shooting one vertical and one horizontal image and then combining them. It seems to work remarkably well even handheld.

It´s a magnificent time with the weather and the Magnolia´s.
Here the purple one ;)

Lovely John. The background bubbles remind me of champagne. The whole image is full of joy.

I like this blossom shot very much!!!

Thanks Peter and Frank.
Very sharp and fresh portrait. Is it not a bit busy bokeh for a 200/2 wide open, Peter? Or is that the TC17-effect?

Nice Fons. You like the 20 UD?

Nice Fons. You like the 20 UD?
Has both the charm and defects you expect from a vintage lens, for modern perfection on digital, look no further than the 20mm f/1.8g.
(i have no shooting experience with the 20mm f/2.8 ais)
Needs a proper touch of postprocessing it fortunately handles well.
-
I am not a fan of the ''optical perfection" of the f/1.8 G-series ;) The 20/2.8 AF I like a lot, it's small, AF and with close focus. (CRC)
Advantage of the UD is very little geometrical distortion.

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Did he pop a glass eye out, or is that the front element of his Canon? He was so preoccupied I didn't want to bother him.
