Thank you for the photo with that particular lens and converter. It’s absolutely incredibly sharp, even at 1/2 second exposure. I’ve been wanting to buy that combo for years but could never pull the trigger. Also photo examples are hard to come by, so it was nice to see your photo.Super Flower Blood MoonView attachment 185421
WRS 1250 | IQ4 150 | Zeiss 350 Tele-Superachromat + APO 1.4XE | f/8 | 0.5s | ISO 3200This image is from a 48 Mp crop - it seems that 490mm of focal length doesn't go as far as it used to these days!

I actually almost had sellers remorse today at an open day at my dealer. there was the 907X with the elusive 'pancake lens'.... so I picked it up and it felt very nice until I was told they still have delays of at least a month to order that 'tiny' lens. Glad I moved back to Fujifilm and Black Magic Designs. Lovely image here though...

WRS 1250 | Zeiss 250 Superachromat | f/22 | +/- 10mm 2-image stitch | 30s Automated Frame Average
Stopping down the Superachromat to f/22 felt like sacrilege. While Phase One's automated frame averaging is terrific, moving headlights can pose a challenge. I needed to stop down to lengthen the exposure to eliminate artifacts from the streaming headlights on the bridge. C1's diffraction correction mitigated any damage done by my indiscretions...

HiBeautiful structure, what is its function?
Thorkil,Hi
North of Copenhagen there is a deerpark established by the king in 1670, mainly for hunting, for him and his upperclass-friends. But it has always been open for the public, but not for hunting.
The deerpark (in Danish: Dyrehaven) is on the Unesco’s list of world heritage, and it is rather special and unique. Its hard to find a place like this around the world.
There are around 2.000 wild deer here. And the hunters employed by the state shoot around 6-700 deers every year, to keep the amount on a sustainable level. They sell the meat to private people and to restaurants.
There are 5 “wildhouses” original for feeding the deer in the wintertime, with the barn-function on first floor to store the hay for the winter. But they don’t use that function anymore, but just spread it primarily by tractors. The x-carriers in front and behind are provided with horizontal battens in the autumn to hold the hay in the wintertime.
This one is called Schimmelmann’s wildhouse and was build in 1890.

Hi Carl, no they don't. I telephoned once to the Danish Nature Agency and got hold of an Chief Forester connected to Dyrehaven, because I felt a bit unsecure, while some time they shot what seemed rather close to me. I asked if there were some days in the week where they didn't shoot. No he answered, while we have to kill around 600 deer a year, its two a day, so we can't take a break. But he could assure me that they knew what they were doing, and has been doing that for the last 300 years without any accident. They always hit them in the heart, 1 shot, one dead animal, they are falling drop-dead all the time. They are not sparetime-hunters, but do it every day, all the year. And they always keep the area behind the deer secure. So I decided to no more feel unsecure. We walk, Irene and I, there 3-4 times every week (when not away) all the year, and a lot of people do so. So it will be more unsecure to drive to the local groceryThorkil,
Thank you for the interesting report. I assume that the park would be closed to the public when the hunters are culling the herd. Is this a single annual culling event?
Best regards,
Carl
