Barely

Plus Paco's windmills....

What a great collection
But that feline ear, taken (in the same room?) on a DX camera with a 400mm lens
I like the result and also your approach Jürgen!

Thank You Colin. Yes, the 400mmZ is definitely suitable for close-ups (my position on the desk chair was surely as comfortable as Frank's on the beach pic :) )

Snow is an excellent minimiser :)



IR photography usually makres the snow look s little on the drab side, probably because of its water content. However, freshly fallen (and dry)  snow appears a tad brighter, like in this scene.

It is. The sharp edges and the diffuse overall... It plays games with symbols and confuses the sizes. It begs to be read and interpreted.

   Blue can be warm?  ;)

I see a snowy mountain peak backlit by an abstracted moon.  Works very well.

Interesting that perception, interpretation, and explanation all differ here. There are tell-tale signs of scale, but only if you look for these.

Paco: yes, blue can be warm. Did you see the sweet French movie "Blue is the warmest colour"? In summer, the 'Nordic blue' hour is perceived as warm indeed by our citizens. In winter, the 'blue hour' also appears warm although admittedly somewhat cooler than in summer :)

I did shoot the scene with Zf (visible light) and Z5 (IR), using the same 400 Nikkor + TC14 for both, and did notice that IR altered the rendition significantly. Not so much the snow itself as the background and its bokeh. I guess the triple glazing on my windows interferes with IR (and VR) to give an alienated background rendition. For this picture I really liked the effect thus present only the IR version.

   I remember the movie but I haven't seing it yet. It is at hand now  :)

I end up today shooting straight into binary images. It was fun and interesting.
