Just got back from a trip to Hawai'i and not ready to spend all day working yet. Here are two images of Onomea Waterfalls in the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. The sun was going in an out of the clouds and other people wanted see the waterfalls as well so I had to stay about 45 minutes to get a handful of different viewpoints and focal lengths.

These are my favorite two that were taken from basically the same spot. I keep going back and forth on the focal length I prefer. Even though I bracketed to be sure, these are both from a single exposure.

Wide angle, of course! 😊

Well, I won't claim to be daring because I didn't even realise there was much of a risk to this. Ignorance is bliss!

There seem to be no ill effects on my eyes or the camera's sensor as far as I can tell. Vivid is very much put together for visitors at close quarters, often in confined spaces, so I guess the lighting may have been set up to be low risk. Or perhaps I just got lucky!

Brisbane's skyline seen at sunrise from the summit of Mount Coot-tha (also known as One Tree Hill). For once, I was glad of the dark cloud in the lower sky, since it allowed the lights of the buildings to stand out more than they would have against a light area of sky.

New York City is in the news for an unusual reason. While a big city, its air quality is usually pretty good (ocean downwind instead of a mountain range). But now... well, these are all daylight balanced, as there weren't any clouds. Very lightly processed.

Just outside my building. X2D, XCD 45/3.5 (not my usual lens, but I didn't want to be changing them and an ultra-wide doesn't get the distant haze as well as something longer).


Downtown - already a bit lighter


And starting to clear up a bit.


Fortunately for me, I roast coffee in my apartment, and so have an industrial air-scrubber that laughs at these pitiful toxic clouds. It's not so good for anyone with asthma!

There was a discussion over in the LUF about adapting old Hasselblad V lenses to the Leica S. In particular, a request for how well the 110/2 worked. Meanwhile, I know you've all been concerned about how Soup is adapting to his new living arrangements.
Leica S3, Zeiss 110/2 wide open, ISO 3200, 1/90 sec. Uncropped.

Answer: suspiciously.

Well it looks like he still has his familiar if not favorite green blanket, so hopefully he's doing OK.

I love this one ,Matt, like a scene from a top science fiction movie. Excellent.

Gorgeous, Bill, and an impossible act to follow. Nevertheless...

I was out with the Mamiya 645 120/4 macro on a Hassy X2D because it's a real 1:1, unlike the XCD 120 macro.

So there were some flowers around the base of a tree on 79th street, and...



Not a great image, but ... Wait a minute! There's banding! I know I'm using the electronic shutter, but how can there be banding outside ... on the sidewalk? I look up and there it is ... the bane of the ES:



A fluorescent light on the scaffolding overhead. Dammit!

I have some less disastrous images I'll post in the abstracts thread.
