Nice. I like the ones of the LMC and of the Milky Way with the windmill. We don't get such a fine view here - up in the north.

Here is another example of "unreal reality" with the help of enhancement of microcantrasts. The "Aiguilles de Chamonix" of the Mont blanc range. Taken in august 2015 - but with a Sony A7II. I was ...

Thanks ! It really is not unreal...

Yes - that is reality!

Nice to see those landscapes once again ! My parents in law used to live on the Skillnadsgatan in Mariehamn, and they had a nice summer house on the Herrö bay. My sister in law lived in Tampere. I ...

Nice to see that things have not yet changed "globallistically" in Finland. I travelled regularly there between 1968 and 1985. Often to the Aland islands where I had relatives. Here are two views ...

Some sheep met last week at the foot of the "Pointe de Deux Heures", French Haute Savoie. Too many of them - so I had to make a pano...

Thanks! I will have to read about it. I underexpose slightly to suppress highlights. The K-1 has a high DR and shadows are seldom a problem.

Coming from you - your comment has great value ! Noel

And here, the original unprocessed JPG. The processing was done with the DNG image.

Yes - true. Enhancing microcontrast also enhances noise. The image should not be enlarged too much. Unless if you would render it as the younger Van Gogh may heve painted it:

An overcast sky last monday at the "Mole" mountain (1840m) in the Haute Savoie. In the centre is the "Aiguille Verte" (4122m) of the Mont Blanc chain. The original image shows little detail of the ...

Some lonely benches encountered today on my way down from the Mole mountain in the French Haute Savoie.

As you say - not a chance ! As an example, two photos I took of the Trient glacier (close to the Grand Saint Bernard pass) in 1978 and 2009 from the same location:

Well.... that would have generated a whole number of threads in this forum.....

Thanks for your appreciation ! But - the image does show how much the glacier has receded. It reached the center of the pano not so many years ago... Who are those who deny global warming ?

180° pano of the "Mont Besso" and the upper Zinal valley, Switzerland, taken last Friday. Photomerge with Photoshop of images taken with the K-1 and the 28-105 ED-DC-WR at 28mm and F 8. The ...

Considering sharpening, I have been using Focus Magic (http://www.focusmagic.com/) for several years, and am very satisfied by its handling. It also allows to correct for shifting in the image.

You wont get lens creep with it. Too light for that. Excellent all purpose lens.

Depends where you are. In Switzerland: http://www.jaeger-kameraservice.ch/ Is very reliable and fast.
