Off-colored sky provided by the recent California Wildfires. Still learning how to best use the 15mm AI-S.

Another Beautiful Evening at the Pier Cafe


Alas, the Pier Cafe is closing for good.  The old fishing pier is in need of very expensive repairs and the owners have sold the property to an adjacent retirement and elderly care complex.

Yesterday I went to the Botanical Gardens of the Bonn University to catch some fall colors with my Sinar, Schneider APO Digitar N°48 and the D850 as a Digital back.

I am absolutely stunned and blown away by the image quality the D850 has to offer. I shoot a whole tree and still get a macro like resolution of single leafs!

My only enemy yesterday was wind and subject movement in general, so I had to overshoot significantly and it is a PITA to sort through and throw out the shots destroyed by subject movement.

Yes, most of the shots are "good enogh" for most purposes, but my idea is to make them work as a whole AND as a 100% crop which means a lot more work, concentration, energy and time.

right click the image "view image" and zoom to 100% ... and think that this is significatly downscaled

Beautiful and most impressive detail Frank!  Between an upcoming birthday and Christmas, there may very well be a D850 in my future  :)

Agree.  A kind of surreal atmosphere.

Thank you for the kind words John and Fons!

John, I hope your cat is doing better.  It is always hard on us when our beloved pets fall ill.

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.
