Lichens

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures from places most of us will most likely never visit.

 

I once looked at them from close up:

I just found out I haven't got a clue what I am doing when preparing smaller versions of images for the forum: an image that looks nicely saturated and pleasantly crisp/sharp on my 4K monitor looks quite bleak and rather soft when I just checked it on my wife's laptop which has a 1920x1080 monitor.

Thanks very much, George!  I often find that images do not look as good on laptop screens as they do on desktop monitors.  That is certainly the case with my desktop Eizo 22" ColorEdge compared with an Asus 22" monitor on another machine, let alone a laptop.

 

Here's another lichen photograph from the same hike as the other two.

Thanks to you sir, you share your images very generously and for a good cause, too. Makes me wonder if you are outdoors 24/7.

Do you just resize when you make the smaller version or do you use different sharpening or make other changes  ?

 

My lichens are from the High Tatra mountains, this one is from 2634m altitude.

Beautiful photograph, George!  Mine are from about 2200 meters altitude.

 

My post-processed uploaded images are all at 2560 pixels on the longest side, and 300 dpi.  I often add a bit of additional contrast, and sometimes a tad more saturation, but that is all.  No sharpening, and almost all of the images are uncropped.

 

The forum software creates the smaller sizes (and probably lower dpi) that are displayed, but if you click on them you will get to the originals.

 

Generally I go on two hikes weekly, most of them near my home.  It looks like you live near some amazing mountains!

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
