Apparitions by John Ngai, on Flickr
907x-CFV100c | XCD 3.2/90 | f/5.6 | 1/60s | ISO100​

From the base of the 256 foot (78 m) tall Falls Creek Falls, the tallest waterfall in Tennessee. At my vantage point there was a fine mist enveloping me (and the camera) as a light breeze gently whipped the cascade of water. All in all, a great experience.

Last spring things here for a bit / off to Caribbean for first time later in the week, not sure how much photo opportunity I will find but tbd
Managed to hit 3 of the 5 boros this weekend so not bad

I always love when you get 2 cherry blossom varieties growing next to each other for contrast, shot two ways, not sure which I prefer..

The new camera isn't part of my daily professional workflow yet, so I can happily post this in the 'fun'-section :) Art Deco building in my town (Gent, Belgium), arch. Fernand Brunfaut.
Learning how to handle the camera right now, it's not the most gentle learning curve but it feels gratifying. Arca Swiss RM3di, Phase One IQ4 150, Schneider-Kreuznach 43XL, 20mm rise.

My sister-in-law has a summer house that was walking distance from the band of totality. We all drove a bit north to get over a minute of the good stuff. Now I had intended to spend that minute just staring in awe and not wasting it messing around with a camera. But I thought a nice landscape with a total eclipse in the sky might be cool, so I had the X2D and XCD 21 loaded and prefocused - manual exposure guessed on the basis of ... a guess. As it turned out, the eclipse was still way too bright for the landscape (makes sense, but I didn't think it through) - I ended up with vast black frames with tiny eclipses in them. Sigh...

So a VERY tight crop of the last second yielded:

P.S. Soup was staying with my older daughter while we were out of town. I'm not sure she's going to return him. Negotiations are ongoing.
P.P.S. During the run-up, a guy with a 600mm zoom on his Nikon was cursing because he couldn't find the sun. I told him the secret of zooming out all the way, frame the sun, then zoom in. Always practice at home, kids!
P.P.P.S. Totality is, as many have said, the most amazing possible sight.
P.P.... oh never mind ... One very weird and unexpected aspect of the event was the color temperature of the light as it faded. There was no sunset coloration. The light dimmed, but stayed daylight white. The whole world was the wrong color!

And here's after a 4x uprez with Topaz Gigapixel - not sure if it's worth it. No more detail, but you can blow it up without seeing the pixels.
