Poor Jules Carpentier! (I first read about the principle—between 1969 to 1971—in a Photographic Technicians Certificate here in South Australia. Also where I learned about Messrs Hurter and Driffield!

Fun With Sony Cameras

GANDOLFI----THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
This was a "too much time on your hands" fun project. I just discovered one of my cameras had different "modes" you can set for in camera manipulation. One such mode is "water color" mode. I did not go out and shoot images with that mode, but rather, took already processed and finished images and opened them up one by one on my PC monitor. I then set the camera to water color mode and photographed the screen images, and presto-changeo pseudo water color paintings!-

Dreadfully sorry, Dave, I'll keep quiet in future!:ROTFL:
It is a fun thing to do. I took your lead and photographed directly off the computer screen. Original images were made with a Fuji GFX 50R. Screen copies made with A7RII and Sigma 70mm macro lens hand held. Thank you again for the neat fun thing to do.

That sky is unbelievable. Beautiful!

We've been having the most wonderful cloudscapes here the last few days, in fact during most of lockdown, which has been the most interesting of interesting times; been even better not being disturbed by jet con. trails.
I have great fun making them look ridiculous with Nik Col Efex and Nik Silver Efex.
Here a couple more, from today's bike ride!

I agree Alan which is why I was disappointed
These were my settings in case I might have been doing something incorrectly ?
F11, AF- auto, Focus area- Wide, Steady shot off, Pixel shift on- 16 shots at 2 sec delay bet shots, ISO 100, tripod mounted, remote trigger, Tamron 28-75
I also tried the 4 shot version and used f8
It was a clear and pretty much windless day
The output after processing looked grainy
My guess is that maybe closer objects which are static might work better ?
I may try that at some point although this has left me feeling much less motivated to use it as subjects like these make up the bulk of my shooting
If you have any advice please feel free to pass it on
Thanks in advance for your interest

I haven't used pixel shift that often but when I did I could see a distinct improvement. Your subject matter should have been a good candidate. I would have used f5.6 since dof shouldn't have been an issue and diffraction is certainly present at f11. The delay between the shots isn't necessary since the camera automatically uses the ES. I would try the shot again if you get the chance. Most importantly, nothing can move!!

Thank you for the response
I also tried it w no delay at f8
The result was the same
Sandstone mountains and features are not known for their ability to move
