Fantastic images, Barry! Thanks for sharing...The little Cornish village of Lerryn and it’s tidal river
^^^ :grin: ^^^'bursting seed pods' - A7RII / Sony FE 90 Macro
Yes, thanks again for those FE 90 files, Barry. I rented the A7RII, FE 90 and FE 35/1.4 to give it all a go. The goodies just arrived today and I'll be giving it all a workout over the next few days. The 90 is crazy good. Just outstanding! Looking forward to playing with the 35 too. You know this is all your fault, right? :ROTFL:^^^ :grin: ^^^
Doug...Nice one, I will take the Drop box link down now my friend as you have probably carried out a few tests of your own by now
The 90mm FE and A7RII is magic combo, for either near or far off subjects

That's right blame me :ROTFL: ...But then I do blame half a dozen to a dozen other photographers here that first showed their 90mm FE images off within this thread, that's how I also got hooked :grin:Yes, thanks again for those FE 90 files, Barry.

Yeah, I guess there's a long line of people to blame. :ROTFL:That's right blame me :ROTFL: ...But then I do blame half a dozen to a dozen other photographers here that first showed their 90mm FE images off within this thread, that's how I also got hooked :grin:
The 90mm is rather good isn't it + The 35mm isn't half bad either :grin:
You will soon be back here full time :clap:
Ah, really lovely images, Barry! Yes, indeed - the boat yard is Ezra's birthplace... Thanks so much for sharing!This is Gweek a lovely little channel along from the Helford River (About 50 miles S.W. of Lerryn), quite a lot of boat building is carried out down here (just out of sight on the RH side is a boat yard).
In fact, I think Ron told me that his beautiful Pilot Cutter was built here if I remember correctly.

If that's the case, my first suspicion is that you have a calibration problem with your monitor.I know this is OT, but I'm struggling with sRGB exports from ProPhoto RGB originals in LR. Sometimes the exports look so different, it doesn't even seem like the same edit of a given image. How do you all go about this? I haven't tried soft proofing in sRGB in earnest, but that seems like it might be a good way to go. Any thoughts would be most welcome...
Not having used a wide gamut display I can see where that would be a problem since Lightroom is using the monitor profile for its screen images.Many thanks for your reply, David. I should have mentioned that the displays I use are hardware calibrated wide-gamut displays by Quato, supporting a wider gamut than Adobe RGB. That's the crux, really - the native gamut is so much wider than sRGB that it makes the sRGB exports look positively flat in many cases...
Well, they just render sRGB faithfully, since that is well within their gamut. The issue is that when you're editing in LR (or any other editor, for that matter) on such a display, you make use of the gamut of the colour space the display is calibrated and profiled to (for argument's sake, let's say this is Adobe RGB). This is great because you get to make use of that gamut when editing, eeking out whatever your RAW file allows you to. However, while you're editing, you have no means of telling what the end result will look like once exported to sRGB. Nor would you really want to see that because you want to make use of that wide-gamut colour space.Not having used a wide gamut display I can see where that would be a problem since Lightroom is using the monitor profile for its screen images.
How do the wide gamut displays deal with normal web sRGB images?
