Here some pics from a recent outing at the Media Harbor in Düsseldorf, Germany. It's an old harbor converted in the 1990s to a modern business district. A lot of new and modern buildings emerged ...

Wouldn't it! As it was I was at least "lucky" enough to capture the whole process in the three successive shots. Thanks for your comment! Phil

That's the right way to describe it indeed. :-) Thanks! Phil

:-) Thanks for looking! Phil

You're welcome! ;-) Thanks for looking and for your comment. Phil

Glad you see it that way! :-) Indeed ... Nice captures too! And I really thought the birds did it like you can see in your shots and not in flight ... But I do know better now. Phil

Thanks! And well, I just will be skeptical bathing in open waters with egrets nearby ... It's natural, of course, but all the same. :-) Phil

Thanks, Mike! :-) Phil

Hi Mario, I shot in RAW only, so I don't know if it would turn up in JPGs. It was the first time I saw anything like it with the combo. Points to excellent sharpness and resolving power of the lens ...

Or maybe the low pass filters is simply a weak one. I found one review stating that it hasn't a low pass filter, but I admit this isn't definitive. Phil

Please see my answer to Dick. I really don't have an "issue" - for me technical things like diffraction, high ISO noise and color moiré simply belong to digital photography. I do print a lot ... ...

Glad to! I absolutely understand your sentiment. Diffraction is something like ISO noise - I don't worry about it, but I know when it crops up and impacts image quality. So I just have it in mind ...

Hm, first was really unsure what was happening here with this flying white egret - but in the end it was clear to me. It just "unburdened" itself. Man, this bird must've eaten and digested a lot! A ...

Wow, I didn't even know the A6600 had no low pass filter, but yesterday as I took a picture of the media harbor in Düsseldorf, Germany, I really learned that the hard way. The picture I made was ...

Thanks, Justin! I agree with that. Here another example - the only variation here was the angle I shot this plant in the evening light, everything else was the same. All pictures taken within a minute:

In June I was on vacation and had a very nice wild flower meadow just in front of my apartment - it sort of looked like this: I stayed there several days and got the chance to explore the meadow at ...

I absolutely agree. This one especially - what nice curves the wings get: These mystical "wingtips" floating around are also quite a view. But apart from that: if you eliminate them in PP the rest ...

Looking through some pics I did in May I stumbled upon a good example for a situation when silent shooting is not the best option. I was photographing some bees entering their hive and got this ...

Good to see you back, Justin! Love the black-necked stilt chicks - very nice to view, all of them. And the grasshopper is also a very nice catch. Thanks for sharing all! Phil

Sure is! :-) I used some desaturation and compressed tonal range for the background to  better differentiate it from the original circular image. Glad you like the result! Thanks for looking and ...
