Hello everyone,
thank you very much for your messages!

I will post pictures in order to have the critical look of the forum members.

Sorry for my approximate English, a long time ago I do not write and speak this language!

Welcome indeed. We have members from all corners of the world.

Although English is the language used on NG, many if not the most of members do not have it as their mother tongue. Communication relies on trying to understand what is intended, not how the thoughts are expressed. If in doubt, ask.

By the way, have you found a decent RAW conversion program for the S5? I still have a Fuji S3 which I use for UV/IR and experimental nature photography, but the lack of GPS and poor battery performance made me purchase an S5 Pro to replace it for normal usage.

Hello everyone and thank you for your messages!

Bjørn,
I have used Fuji Hyper Utility, DxO Optics Pro, S7 RAW and Ligthroom, I think they are all good but they all have gaps, and it is often necessary to use another software to better manage contrast, or noise and The sharpness.

For lack of time and patience, I only do jpeg and I am not disappointed by photographs at 1250/1600 and even 3200 ISO!

The following picture is at 3200 ISO and the stained glass was at 30 meters

Sorry, I have not yet all understood to put photographs
