Thanks Frank.
What a mix of appartments, Paco. Is the image a bit tilted?

Beautiful macro Jhon.
Yes, it is tilted a bit to the right, isn't it?

Thanks Paco.
Yes, unless they did built those apartments with an angle ;)

Call me crazy, but it makes me wonder what the world would be like if the interior of the Pentagon looked like this ...

Indeed.
Paco, do you find ISO3200 image of Z6 noticeably better than that of D750?
-
Was out running this evening. Will reproduce it with my Df soon
-
Thank you
Akira, I haven´t try side by side but I have work with the d750 for a long time and a lot of that in the 1600-3200 region. The Z6 looks cleaner already on the camera´s screen. On top of that I´m using nikon NX-D instead of my usual lightroom and I don´t know if that influences the final output. If this portrait is the reference then yes, it is noticeable better. The file is pliable and shows little to no noise even in the dark areas. Colors are spot on and clean too.
This is iso 3200. I´m very happy

Thank you for sharing your observation. Now that I'm exclusiively on CNX-D, I notice that ACR removed the chrominance noise amazingly well even from an NEF of D750 shot at ISO12800, leaving almost only the luminance noise which is much less detracting than the chrominance noise (at least to me). CNX-D seems to handle the chrominance and the luminance noises rather more evenly, so the chrominance noise is apprarent even in the NEF shot at much lower ISOs (like 1600 or 3200).

Not something I normally shoot :) . Just playing around with Nikkor 200 f4 Ai n Sony a7iii, Techart Pro stacked with Kipon Nik/LM adapter handheld at about 18 feet. Big crop. I normally shoot the lens on the Df/D500 or with dumb Novoflex adapter on Sony. Also playing with Nik RAW Presharpening but should have used control points :(

Thank you very much Armando and Frank. Happy you like it. Went for chiaroscuro with light from a window classic view. Mostly to test the camera-lens combo but I'm pleased with the result too.
Frank, my screen is not calibrated so "a tad" in any direction may be off. I'll take your word for it.

Thank you. The shutter button had unpleasant and unusual friction. I found this symptom from the day I had bought it brand new. And then the button got stuck and the camear was frozen. Removing and inserting the battery got the camera back to work, but I decided to give it to repair.
Now the shutter button feels as smooth as it should. :) The camera was, of course, repaired under warranty. 8)

After ten years living in this flat I feel the walls are closing in. So I started a major redecoration project that affects all rooms but the bathroom.
Furniture will leave and with the furniture unused and unnecessary stuff will leave the house.
This is the slowest possible start. The three elves did join the 6 nymphs to create some headroom over the table.

Yes, the scale is quite large. Drone photos make it look small unless you look closely and see how small humans look in comparison.
Footprint is a bit over 25,000 m2.
The building in the background is what I was doing previously and opened it about a year ago.
Hope this doesn't violate posting rules of one a day...

wow, cool. A convention center? Sports venue? Concert hall?
These are office buildings designed to facilitate cross-organizational collaboration.
The basic idea is that face to face interaction engenders trust and further technical collaboration in other channels (not necessarily face to face).
Most people don't understand the second part of the sentence above.
In my experience and based on research I've read and participated in, trust is essential for teams to perform well.
There has been much written about the design of the building. Search for "Nvidia Headquarters".

Some familiar places through the whole series. It is interesting to see how you photograph a world I'm quite familiar with and to read your comments on the light.
We are coming into winter now with the potential for clouds, rain and low slanting light which make the landscape much friendlier to the camera's eye. Summer can be difficult.

Thank you, Jack. Really a huge site.
Nvidia, originally a gamer's dream graphics board company started with the idea to use graphics boards for highly parallel computing tasks in science, stuff formerly done by supercomputers Cray and the like. Lately Bitcoin Miners started to use these. Now that Bitcoin goes South, Nvidia suffered some serious revenue ditch ... have been working as a computer journalist for many years in the times when 3Dfx and Cirrus Logic and Matrox were still serious contendors to ATI/later AMD ... before NVIDIA hit the scene ... Nvidia means "Envy"....

My site is small, very small to Jack's, only 265sqm lot, 520 sqm living space in four flats. I decided to build a common roof garden for the three flats that miss a garden in the city. Here a rendering of it; you can go up by stairs or lift:

That should be an extremely unusual case, especially in Europe. Could you elaborate the situation a bit more?

It's a long story. This used to be a movie-theater for more than 40 years. But they stopped screening. Cityhall bought the theater and they claimed national TV wanted the stage as broadcasting Studio for the South of Netherlands. It was rebuilt in a very short time, at very high cost. When later there was no interest in National TV and Expenditures were much higher than the forecast, three Elderman had to leave their position. Also new elections came, and in the aftermath of an official inquiry also the mayor came into problems and had to resign.
What remained after all this, was a modern theater, without any political support....
-
I'll say quite close to premiere , what else do you see it is missing?
This was a rehearsal, using that piece of costume for the first time and looking for possibilities. I love the outcome.
It is not missing much but it is in the place were everything can change. Most ingredients are there but it is not fully cooked and presented yet.
Interesting timeless, feminine, minimalist and very cinematic portrait by the way.

ISO and other tech settings?
ISO 140. 15 sec exposure with 24-70 @ f/7.1
In dark conditions with areas of bright light the EVF does not represent the bright areas as well as an optical finder. They tend to wash out and bloom so it is necessary to zoom the finder to determine focus. The focus by wire lens is also a bit more difficult than a manual lens at night. With a manual lens I can easily find infinity and can focus by feel by how far off the near and far stops I am. The Z lens gives no tactile feedback of where it is focused. It does show a sort of range finder in the display, but I’m not at a point where I can determine focus point from that. End result is that taking shots in the dark is made easier by zoomable viewer, but is is slower and more painstaking than just turning the lens to where you think the focus should be.
I’ll try some manual lenses at night and see how that works.

Just fooling around, with very adverse conditions captured comet 46p near the pleiades
I'm in the outskirts of the city, moon is at 40+% about 90°W from the comet
but polaris is visible so I set up the tracker and left the camera shooting for 1hr
a couple of frames had plane lights , picked one of them and superimposed it on the stack

ISO 140. 15 sec exposure with 24-70 @ f/7.1
In dark conditions with areas of bright light the EVF does not represent the bright areas as well as an optical finder. They tend to wash out and bloom so it is necessary to zoom the finder to determine focus. The focus by wire lens is also a bit more difficult than a manual lens at night. With a manual lens I can easily find infinity and can focus by feel by how far off the near and far stops I am. The Z lens gives no tactile feedback of where it is focused. It does show a sort of range finder in the display, but I’m not at a point where I can determine focus point from that.

so this is not high ISO but tripod? How does the EVF picture change when you keep the exposure value but change ISO and time to adjust for .14k, 1.4k, 14k, 140k?
And if on tripod, why not base ISO?
And at .14k why not pump the hell from the shadows?
a lot of questions, I know.

a lot of questions, I know.
The finder brightens based on camera settings. If you adjust ISO, shutter or aperture you will see the effect.
I’m typically using Auto-ISO so that is why it is 140 instead of 100. Maybe next time I’ll try full manual.
Shadows are there because I like shadows. The range on this is pretty high so not sure what I’d find if I lifted them up. Still have many more dark evenings to practice on. I’m heading to Tokyo over the holidays so hopefully will get a fast and effective routine for night shots. During the day I find the EVF is great so no worries there.

will you meet Akira??

EVF will show the same picture for the same exposure value independent of you settings? 3 orders of magnitude ISO?

I hope to. I’ve contacted him and if schedules work out we will meet up.

If you enable setting d8 “apply settings to live view” then exposure, white balance, picture controls all are applied to the image in EVF. If Auto-ISO is on, it will adjust ISO to present a photo which is properly exposed. There is some chatter that this impairs autofocus, but I’m not much of an AF user so I’d rather see what the capture will look like.

Yup. I'm pretty excited to have as much as three consecutive meet-ups in 2018: Airy from France, JJChan from Australia and this time Jack from the U.S.!

With the Fujifilm EVFs, I have found that enabling 'apply settings to live view' (or whatever Fuji calls it) is usually more useful than allowing the finder to auto-gain. One can even judge exposure fairly accurately, once one knows the rendering style of the EVF, by just looking at the live image(or the playback) instead of consulting a histogram.

Thanks Akira. Moholy-Nagy was also interested in photography. You might know his book "Malerei Fotografie Film" from 1927, where he starts with a comment, mentioning, that photography is already more than 100 years old and that "our seeing" has just achieved a level, that we realise, how photography is or can be used to form and shape. Also color photography started about then to get speed.

Werner, thank you for the info on the book by Moholy-Nagy. I haven't been familiar with this particular book, but I was intrigued by his work when I saw one of his work at the Staatsgalerie Moderner Kunst in Munich in the early 80s, and eventually interested in the whole works of Bauhaus.
Here I found a digitized archive of "Malerei, Fotografie, Film":

A new roundabout with a sculpture 'the curved sword'.
In 1933 local burial mounds were uncovered, dating from 700BC the Bronze Age.
In a kings grave a highly decorated curved sword was found.

It may be slightly sloped when I place on top of 2 plastic containers to add the flash underneat or maybe an effect of auto align

thank you, Keith & John I guess it is the edit. The clean look and clear colors of the original D850 file did not transport the idea well, too many details.

the 3.5/15mm is a very attractive. It is also much smaller than the zooms that have replaced it 2.8/14-24 etc

There is also a nice Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 large and expensive

Meet Don. Yeah, the name on his coat says Bob, so it probably belongs to his son...

Last one of the year from Kamakura Japan. This is an immense cast bronze Buddha dating from 1252. The horizontal lines you can see correspond to the separate stages of pouring that were done. New Year’s Day is quite special in Japan and traffic to temples off all kinds on New Year’s Eve and over the next several days will be quite intense.

Its a fine streetwalker i am not disappointed by its output. Donot compare it with a fast prime though.
There is a guy on flickr he is been travelling Tibet for some years and his main lens is the 28-300.

Thank you ! (Nice pictures of Tibet :) ) I often use the 24-120mm with the 70-300 for my school's shot, but was wondering if a 20mm f/2.8 AFD and this 28-300 wouldn't do the job, though my school isn't very well lit (f/5.6 at 100mm as I see) ? Or revert to primes ? I fear of becoming a bit lazy... :o
