These houses are nicknamed the dancing houses, the tilting is apparently caused by rotten wooden piles!

same thing of the other pic, I have the feeling your color temperature settings are off. Quick and dirty correction applied here too.

Milandro thanks, I checked colour temp and found it was set to 10000 K!

So I’ve reset it to 5600 K

What tweak did you do if you don’t mind telling me?

I did think they were a bit blue, but put it down to the ambient conditions!

The forum appears to have swallowed my answer after the migration that seems to have been performed  (I preferred the older look).

 

Anyway.

Happy to have been of service to you. 😃

I didn’t do anything really special but I've just opened your pictures with the NIK suite color efex, then performed a removing color cast and adding after that a white neutralizer , then gave a manual color correction with pixelmator (can be done with many different features of this or any other program).

 

I have to say that I was rather convinced this was a mistaken setting otherwise I wouldn’t normally suggest a different “ interpretation”. 

 

My experience with these things is that they are rather sensitive.

 

I sometimes see pictures posted with a clear superabundant color or sharpening that produces such visible artifacts and noise that should be hyper evident to the poster, wom apparently is not only unaware of his exaggerated correction but  cannot even see what he has done.

I have also seen people being rebuffed for daring to suggest that said excessive corrections are less than desirable so I won’t do that.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
