Fun with the Leica SL (digital)

So how do soletus and obsoletus relate to the english word "obsolete?"

Here, it might mean that this narcissus was native to the area, an 'original'. What the difference between the soletus and obsoletus varieties, if any, is obscure; it might just be plantsman's lingo.

Where have you seen an N. soletus pictured? I did some Googling, came up with a very exhaustive study of daffodil morphology, using ultrametric Bayesian statistics (you may laugh, but this is really something I am familiar with in a quite different field of physical science) to analyze 42 of the supposed 60-80 species found around the Mediterranean. One leaf of the resulting tree was N. Obsoletus, but no Soletus.

Re: Fun with the Leica SL (digital) as an aps-C camera

I'm trying to zero in on correct exposure for a light show that uses all the strands of our Calatrava "harp bridge," using the CL 11-23 on my SL because my objective is to capture the show in a short video. Not quite there yet, but it is quite a show.

I get a better color rendering at the moment (for this peculiar camera/lens/lights combo) with AccuRaw (the examples above) than with Capture One. I've submitted a bug report to see what is happening.

As usual, I can't remember where I found the info, though I certainly found it somewhere: and a Google search doesn't bring up any obvious answer now. There is at least one site in Spanish that refers to it. I'm beginning to think that N soletus and obsoletus are the same plant. There are even sub-varieties of obsoletus to confuse me even further.

Sometimes you're just sitting on the living room sofa, drinking coffee, reading getDPI, and you notice some orchids on a nearby table, and you just happen to have an SL with 90-280 sitting next to you.... BTW, the orchids are a VERY deep purple/magenta, so it was easy to do a high-key treatment, as everything else naturally went white.

I bought a CL in order to act as a TC for my 90-280 yesterday. This image was shot through a dirty window(it has been raining and very windy down here in Sydney) you can see the wind ruffling the baby feathers on a baby Cockatoo and his mate who decided to perch on our balcony and stare at our cat who was making her usual hunting noises insisting I let her out to shoo these pesky intruders away - very funny. Twilight and shade and unfamiliarity with the 'teleconvertor' and couldn't be bothered doing to much post processing to try and make up for many technical flaws in shot. Still I think the 'effective' focal length increase to 420MM will give some extra reach and more use out of this fantastic lens.

Cheers
Pete

Hi Jurgen

the font name is 'Marydale' - there are other similar fonts to this like comic sans/chalkboard/papyrus - it may be an Adobe font from Adobe font pack if I recall correctly.
