Genuine [off season]  Easter mood the Norwegian way - in IR Very nice use of IR and for once the near monochrome red hue suits the final image.

Thanks Birna! Easter was kind of crippled with the cabin prohibition. Instead we got «cabin fever» staying home. A small price though

Hand-held fisheye UV photography is not for the faint of heart. However, with the Sunex 5.6mm f/5.6 at least it is possible if you can keep the camera still for a few seconds ...

I had planned on using the D3200 for this as it has the required Baader U filter built-in, but being absent-minded I found myself at location only with the modified Z6 and a rear filter box, not optimised for the Sunex at all. Only a small part of the frame is covered by the Sunex, but the loss of pixels probably didn't matter much when I was holding the camera . Besides, the adjusted session focus for the Sunex (a fix-focus optic, but can be trimmed  if required) was for the D3200, not my rear filter so focus was off. Oh well.

A pine tree and some Wood Anemones made a decorate subject for my today's UV foray.

Morning scene on April 24.  Ironically, even the polluted sky over Tokyo has become increasingly clear and beautiful, since the human activity had been restricted.

Current state of my desk. Pictures, school work, sound and drawings for good measure 
  I have been having a lot of fun printing this days at home. My walls are way nicer than they use to.

Verifying that the legendary Rodenstock XR-Heligon 100mm f/1.6 really reaches infinity focus. Here a snapshot on the Z7 to prove the point. The background conurbation is about 4.5 km away, and the background hills some 10 km from the camera standpoint.

Although the lens does focus to infinity, and with excellent sharpness of detail, the usable image circle just fails to cover the entire FX format. This photo hence is slightly cropped, corresponding to something like 24x32mm format.
