At the Windmill 'De Nijverheid' from 1857 in Ravenstein a natural bakery for sourdough bread.

Zf   Viltrox 16mm f/1.8

settings within DxO 8 called lut grading cause banding

Probably could be used to produce excellent rainbows with some additional tweaking?

On a tangential note, I sometime get similar respnse when shooting some lenses through triple-layer windows panes  with my IR camera(s)

Interesting piece at the local museum, the image is on multiple glasslayers , so the different distances cause the out of focus areas
x-t3 56mm f/1.4

Photography as a pedagogic tool.

  D5, 24-70 2.8 vr shooting; Z9, 70-200 2.8 fl on the image

These LUT settings seem to push certain colours extraordinarily hard!

This morning - early - and also the "solution" to yesterdays minimalistic enigma.

Awesome dynamics

I'm curious,  do you carry 2 70-200 lenses,  and 2 large cameras back and forth?

It is getting colder

This image gives me so much pleasure.
A sense of movement, a feeling like it might have been taken on old b&w film
(unlike so many modern conversions from a colour digital image)

Snow continues

I like this one, but for different  reasons.
It feels like a tilt/shift lens has been used because of the well behaved vertical edges of the buildings.
Personally, I'd have wanted more warmth in the masonry (as in Birna's image #msg204668),  but i guess this reflects how it felt that day!

Weve had temperature inversions several times over the past week.
So the drive to our local hills is done throug murky, misty roads.
But when we climb the hills and get high enough, a golden view with blue skies often awaits us

A nice low sun brings out some nice detail here
(Sadly I only had my smartphone, so this is a heavy crop.
It really needed my 300mm)

  I'm enjoying this image and the one posted in the "minimalist" thread very much Fons. Sometimes is not easy to recognize your signature but I have realized with time that it is because you have quite a extense arc of possibilities, but it is clear. Thank you for your constant work and for sharing them all.

  Thank you Armando. Carrying 2 large bodies, a 24-70 and a 70-200 is quite normal for rehearsals and shows alike. It covers a lot of ground with flexibility. Usually 2 batteries per camera. I'm going to attach a photo of the backpack with the gear I selected for this and a weekend in La L'inea. 28 f2-cpu-, 35mm 1.4 ai-s, 60mm macro and 105 2.5 -cpu- with a blackrapid and a gps module for the foolography.  There is s a different selection for video and a light edc that goes "as the wind blows"
