The "Stone King"

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.1 point -
This was snapped during a lunch. Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera. Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs. Available light, no posing. This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement. I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped. I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens. The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings. And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion. It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera). Ideal for "portraits." Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting. The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Tamron 150-500mm lens opinion?
thelostkiwi reacted to jerryy for a topic
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.1 point -

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.

Hello from Germany's southwest
George_P reacted to JollieOllie for a topic
Hi there, sorry for any language oopsies. It's not my native language. I am an old(er) guy from Germany with a new camera. It's a x100vi, my first Fuji. Before that (starting in the 1980's with an MX and the most modern I have is a K3III) I used Pentax and Ricoh GR. I am pretty impressed with the Fuji. Even if I cannot find any love for OOC jpegs, recipies, in camera filmsimulations and such as it seems to be typical for Fuji users. It's to much fiddling with dials and menues for me. I prefere RAW and and like preprossesing at my leasure. Here are some from the very first day with the Fuji. It's around our tiny town in the south western part of Germany (and of neighbors cat)

Blood Moon and More... This moon is waxing up to be September's Corn Moon. This year, the Corn Moon offers more than telling us it is harvest time. This moon will be the longest blood moon of the year. It happens September 7 - 8 (The Earth's shadow eclipses the moon.). Folks in Australia, Asia, Africa, and Europe get to see a lunar eclipse. https://www.timeanddate.com/news/astronomy/moon-september-2025 After the waxing comes the waning... Waning Corn Moon.

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.

Fall pictures
George_P reacted to MARRIEDGUY9 for a topic
Fall is almost over, had some snow at the tail end of the storm last night. Thought I'd practice with sun stars and editing. XT5, 16mm 1.4, shot at F8, 1/125.
