Fun with Nikon Images

An encouraging tribute to all of the Italian People, who suffers immense these hours, days, weeks and months, and where the amount of dead people just continue to go up and up, specially in the Northern Regions around Milano and east herefrom.
793 died the last 24 hours, still increasing rapidly, one can't imagine being in the middle in that unstoppable crises.
This is together with Simone and Ermano, our neighbours in San Zeno di Montagna, October 2019, at a restaurant in a castle in Bolzano

There's something about film and portraits... a kind of presence that I don't see with digital. Or maybe it's just my brain.

There's something about film and portraits... a kind of presence that I don't see with digital. Or maybe it's just my brain.

My theory about that: Film reveals contrast differentially, and I believe it's due to the effect of halation. To me it appears to have relatively higher global and micro-contrast (clarity) than native digital at the in-focus areas of the image, but then much lower global and micro-contrast in the oof areas -- and of course it feathers from one to the other in a way that is very difficult to emulate with digital processing.

I shot a roll of XP2 a few weeks ago. I don't really like that film, but it does produce photos

This old lens, the very early 85mm AF, works very well up to 3-4 metre distance. Beyond that it's a mess. Still, it's good value for the $200 or so that I paid for it some 15 years ago

Thanks Darren, Jørgen for keeping this thread going - good to see your images in these trying times!

Getting used to working from home... lots of distractions, GetDPI included

Unfortunately, my favorite park closed before I could get there for the cherry blossom season, and the area around Tidal Basin in Washington DC was too crowded for comfort...
(there is still hope for one last location during this weekend, if the weather cooperates)

So I am going through my archives looking for cherry blossom photos from years past... like this one from 2009:

I was able to get to that faraway park on Sunday afternoon - the weather was beautiful - but so did many others. There were only a couple of spots in bloom in the park, which attracted the people. I chose to avoid those areas and instead took a walk where distancing was easy to achieve. Alas, no photos from there. It may take another week for the other areas to come to full bloom - I will try again next weekend.

Until then one more photo from the archives - this one from 2015:

I think for most of us - it's time to go through our archives - which can't really harm.....

Well, that faraway park was also closed last week, before I could get to it for the full bloom.
So now I am waiting for Spring in the last easily accessible wide open....

Archives are well and good; I'm trying to catch up Some images from a train trip to the south of England in October 2019.
All taken with Z7 and 24-70 f/4.
First stop Brighton.

[Arne Hvaring]

Three more.

Next stop Bath. A special place. It is almost as if the Romans are still here...

We made an excursion to the Cotswolds. Unfortunately the sky was grey and it rained a bit. I managed to push the button a few times.
Here are some impressions.

[Arne Hvaring]

Three more.

[Darin Marcus]

Very nice travel photos Arne, thanks for posting.

I especially like this one:

[Arne Hvaring]

Next and last stop Torquay. Charming place.
Z7 and 24-70/4.

[Arne Hvaring]

Last image from Torquay. Made me smile.
I hope you have enjoyed my little travelogue.
Stay safe.
Cheers

Very nice travel photos Arne, thanks for posting.

I especially like this one:

I agree!

Arne, just curious, what are you using to convert, LR, C1 or NXd?

[Arne Hvaring]

Thank you Jack!
Mostly I use C1 (for all the images in the preceding posts), but I also like Photo Ninja. I prefer the raw conversion as such of PN to C1, but C1 has so many additional useful tools and excellent colours.

I actually asked because I was impressed by the colors (I find the same thing with C1's base profiles.)

BUT, C1 is expensive, and ACR as part of PS/LR subscription bundle is certainly acceptable. Plus NX-D is quite good once you wrap your arms around the UI. I still like C1's power and control over the entire raw image through output, but am beginning to wonder if it's worth the added subscription cost over the others...

PS: I myself also continue to be amazed at what the little 24-70 kit lens produces --
