Re: Fun With Sony _____
I'm not really sure : if you look at the way the branches and needles of the tree are falling, then I think the camera decided to flip the orientation all by itself and put things upside down : some times, if you shoot upward or downward with the body almost parallel to the earth, the camera can do that.
But if you remember it was that way with naked eye (not on the LCD nor in the VF) at the time you took the picture, then indeed that is quite remarkable.

This was something I've never seen before. Its not a lens flare but an upside rainbow.

Yes, that's the way it was with the naked eye. I was joking to my wife when we saw it there was no hope of finding the pot of gold at the end of it and how unusual it was.

Interesting indeed, never saw that myself either. Thanks for sharing.
You are right and I found an explanation of this phenomenon here :

No doubt! That has more things going for it.

This is the old Quarry Works up on Foggin Tor looking out towards Kings Tor on the horizon.

Very nice colors and composition. May I ask about your RAW converter and the used profile? I'm asking because beside your great processing, your colors are always very accurate.

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
I still like Adobe ACR, either in CS or LR, I always take a jpeg and a raw at the same time, I use the jpegs mostly for just quickly previewing/scanning an image because of their smaller file sizes, I then convert the raws into dng by churning away laboriously in the stand alone Adobe DNG converter to keep storage space to a minimum.
On this (Dartmoor) occasion because I was pretty tired on my return and also by the token that I try and aim to add at least one new image per day, I lazily just used the jpg files because I hadn’t yet got around to converting my raws into dng.
The 21mm Loxia ideally needs to be corrected with a profile just like any other WA lens as you say...It’s a good albeit a lazy temporary solution for me or at least until I get around to making a custom profile in Cornerfix or by replacing my ancient computer and software, is just to use the in camera pre-treated jpegs for showing 21mm Loxia colour images here. Then just use the dng’s for BW + toning etc...
A simple intermediate quick fix that I will get around to when I have a free moment is just to make a custom profile for my 21mm Loxia lens in Cornerfix.

Many thanks seb most appreciated... I returned home latish last night from my walk across Dartmoor feeling pretty whacked out!

Barry, By any chance you owned/used a Leica M8? Perhaps it was nostalgia for magenta corners and color shifts?

Vivek....Oh, well it goes back much much further in time than a M8 and it's defects!....I loved those sets of Ilford Multigrade filters :ROTFL:Barry, By any chance you owned/used a Leica M8? Perhaps it was nostalgia for magenta corners and color shifts?
