I've never been a member of FB, but iirc you posted it on this forum (hoping for birthday presents of some of the many cameras that you say you are very interested in and will buy next year? :ROTFL:

Ah... the Habelsad that nobody gives me :facesmack:

Here's one of thos occasions where a fully articulated LCD is a huge advantage. My arm is all stretched out through a kind of fence and the LCD more or less 90 degrees to the camera body. Face detection isn't among the best with the GX8, but it worked fine here in spite of the dim light inside the tunnel.

There is something about having a wander around a none touristy Spanish city during Siesta. It won’t last, I suspect. The very pleasant Arrecife is just a short bus ride (or three hour walk, along the coast, as I desperately need the exercise) from two of Lanzarote’s three major resorts. And it has slowly been developing its own tourism.

I went to the Sony World Photography Awards exhibition yesterday.
I didn't think that it lived up to previous years;
there was an ARTificiality about so many of the images and I wasn't sure about the quality of the printing.
There were however some stunning images among the huge number displayed.

In each room there was a Sony monitor showing a long running but rapidly changing slide show of many many of the categories in that paricular and other random rooms, interspersed with hard to comprehend (during their short duration) captions.
The monitors were set up with a large degree of 'pop', which made the actual prints lack impact.

Oh dear. That's surely a real schoolboy error in the photography world.

Additive colours versus subtractive... they would never look the same even if they knew what they were doing.

You are right, our colour perception of images from a reflective source and an emissive source are always going to be different,
but in this case (and I should have been more explicit in my original post) the differences were exaggerated by the 'TV showroom' settings of the monitors and what I objectively perceived as many of the prints (all made by the same company?) appearing to me, a little faded.

Anyway - to keep this thread on topic as this discussion is not 'fun' - I'm going to post a relevant 'image' ,
an image that is not a keeper, as in the split second I had to act, the hand moved to mask more of the camera phone and I made the wrong decision to focus on the sign
