Well, wanted to check the new 1:1 crop in the OVF (looks good!) and realised that my eye cup was missing ... I suspect the firmware update must have deleted it somehow. Darn. On second thought I ...

Thanks for the nice tour, Steve! The Stupa indeed is surprising and most interesting (and looks very nice too), Had to look that up: seems to be named the "Vienna Peace Pagoda", one of many ...

:-) Very good Roland, and thanks! Didn't think of using Google's image search to get this info. Forum member RemcoR already helped with identifying this painting and I just (minutes ago) updated ...

For those who are interested: Here some additional information to some of my pics - partly because forum member RemcoR kindly helped identifying one of the painters, partly because I finally got a ...

A pleasure. Thanks very much for your comment, Herman! Phil

Thanks! Wonderful! Glad to - with this result ... :-) Phil

Exactly. Moderated an Olympus forum over at Yahoo ages ago (was getting into this RAW thing back then with the fine Oly 5050) and we had the luck of being a team who could discuss things like ...

Suppose so. I'll give it a whirl on my K5-II sometime to find out. Phil

Not that bad, but a profile helps. See here my thread about the profiling, including two test shots of the Sigma with and without profile applied: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57824065 The ...

Thanks for the heads up! Very interesting info. I gleaned my info from my Amsterdam guidebook - it devotes a quite large section on this painting and states that the name "Nachtwacht" was only ...

Thanks a heap! How did you find it? I don't seem to know how to search properly on the museums site. But you did - thanks again! Much appreciated. Phil

Ah, it doesn't need that at all, I guess - judging from all those people visiting it. :-) But thanks for your comment - glad you liked the pics! I read about that - but didn't know about the ...

You're welcome indeed! You may be right here ... Pixel shift mode might change the picture ... ;-) Thanks for looking! Phil

Thanks very much! It's sometimes curiously hard to go to sites in ones own backyard, I know ... :-) Still haven't visited a rather famous outdoor museum in my vicinity, have planned it for years now. ...

Well, well - not bad for a Nikon! ;-) Kidding aside, Dominique: Great shot! Again: It was nice meeting you - just wished that I had more time ... would've liked to see more of your work and heard ...

Thanks! You probably meant ISO 4.000 (a lot of those pics were taken at that ISO). I agree - and have to add that I did no extra noise reduction and also lifted shadows quite a bit. Even the ISO ...

Glad you did - and thanks for your comment! Phil

It was my pleasure to finally meet you, Mike! :-) Glad to hear that you did not! Have to admit that I have started just right now exploring your current web offerings. Fascinating images from you ...

Thanks! I agree. Fortunately enough I remembered early enough into my visit to limit ISO to 4.000 and to go for longer exposures. First I had ISO limited to 12.800 (some of the pics I posted show ...
