    The "Stone King"

    From the album: Photos

    The mountain at top left is Monviso, known as the "Stone King." From its 3,841-meter height, it dominates the surrounding valleys and the entire Piedmont plain.

  16. Back on page three of this thread is an image and mention of those mythological and astronomical twins, Castor and Pollux. They are back for your viewing pleasure in the night sky with Jupiter joining them, an added bonus this year. At least for those stargazing in the Northern Hemisphere anyway. For right now, you will need to wait until late at night, Very Late. or Very Early in the morning if your clock works that way. A little after midnight. Look a little to the left of Orion and there these three will be forming an arc. Procyon is along for the arc ride... As long as the clouds are not too much, the arc is visible even in cloudy, light polluted skies like the one shown here. This is the equivalent of a just almost but not quite ten minutes stars exposure with a five seconds clouds exposure.

  17. Thank you so much, Jerryy! The article is very interesting and now I'm confident about the aperture stepping. About the parfocal property, I have information that the first FW releases didn't fix the initial issues (focusing mistakes in zooming), but a following resease solved the problem: I would like to have a confirmation by some actual user of the lens. Very kind of you, Jerryy!!

    Not far from Turin stands the "Stupinigi Hunting Lodge", surrounded by an immense park. Built by the Savoys, it is part of what is known as the "Crown of Delights," meaning all the Savoy residences in Piedmont.

    Introduce Yourself

    Hi everyone. Just bought my retirement gift to myself - an XT-5 with 16-50 and 70-300 lenses and cant wait to get started. Used to be a keen photographer before life got in the way and have continued, albeit with phone, but despite it taking decent photos, I want to move on to the next level. Really excited about to getting to grips with this beast and realise what a steep learning curve I'm on and will be looking for plenty of advice and tips.

    For Halloween

    The foggy mist comes to cover and re-claim the ghost - ghouls, the goblins, the other fey folk until next season. Happy Halloween!

  25. GFX100RF. Very close up—it's only 1 ⅓ inches wide. First light in the forest. Hand-held. Carrying a tripod around on a hike would not be enjoyable.

    Fall pictures

    Again locally, the colors are starting to pop on in... maybe take off down a back road or two to see them. Go early, you can get better seats for the show.

  30. I popped by my local camera store to check out the GRX100RF today. They let me put my SD card in it and snap some pictures. I set it to ACROS and snapped these shots of the salesman. It's easy to see what camera brand he likes.

  31. I have a copy of Tamron’s 150 - 600mm G2 lens. It has really good image quality and is easy to use. I have heard the one you are asking about is similar. Will you be able to test it? The only drawback for me with my lens is after carrying it around for a while, it gets heavy and so on the tripod it goes. Also, it was not a FX mount lens, so I use a Fringer smart adapter, but that has never been a problem.

  32. Many star-gazers see Constellation Cassiopeia riding high in the autumn sky as a "w" or "m" shape. It also sits next to Constellation Cepheus which holds some very beautiful clusters and nebulae. One is the Lobster Claw Nebula (Sh2-157): https://www.astronomy.com/observing/deep-sky-dreams-sharpless-2-157/ Other favorites include the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635): https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12247 and the Northern Lagoon Nebula (NGC 7538); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7538 This region has some lovely clusters you can see simply by looking up in the right place, while using binoculars (or if you have very good night eyesight, just look up) for them. Messier Object M52: https://freestarcharts.com/messier-52 and NGC 7510: https://theskylive.com/sky/deepsky/ngc7510-object This exposure, timed at just under 54 minutes in Bortle 9 skies, almost hints at the lobster's claw, but really it needs more exposure time to make it visible in photos, darker skies would also help. If you search the internet, you can find some fantastic renditions.

  41. Hi I have tried to make Northern lights photos the first time in my life. I used 2000 ASA, f2.8 and 2 seconds. The aurora borealis was moving around quite fast and with more than 2 seconds the pictures came out like fuzzy mush. To find infinity on the fully manual Laowa lens has to be done in advance, I marked it on the body of the lens. What do you think about the result? Kind regards, Hannes

    Fall pictures

    December 22, Winter Solstice Day. Winter is getting ready to make the days longer, the nights shorter and presumably both colder. Autumn was seen at a postal office trying to take care of a forwarding address issue.
