And its already May.. @dirk can you pin this thread for the month?

Today we went walking with Benji again, and this time I wanted to try out the realtime lut, and uploading directly from phone (after only some size and aspect ratio ajustments).

This is shot with the Urban & Street Lut from Panasonic (rec709 variant), and I love it

Very nice LUT, John! And of course Benji...

You do realize you're playing right into his paws, right? Pretty soon you'll be the one sitting up and begging... ^_-

Good to finally get this shot right with L-mount. It really takes a fisheye...

Another example of how it can sometimes pay to take a chance... when I started out yesterday, it was cold and overcast and supposed to be that way all day. And look what happened!

(More from the day in the fisheye thread.)

Really nice shots!

I was in San Francisco a couple of times for MacWorld Expo, 20+ years ago, but I never made it down to the Golden Gate during daylight hours. ;_;

 

[Pete_W]

Great photos Charles! The S1Rii and 28-200 looks like an awesome combo.

 

[Atlasman]

I lived and worked in Cupertino back in the late 80s—some of your images triggered some nostalgia! Nice shots!

Sigh...
I miss San Fandango.

Almost got lost in the shuffle around the fisheye... some more playing around with the 100mm Vivitar macro...

Very good picture, @sergun80 !! It has composition, reflection, beautiful light and moment...

Trying out the hybird zoom for photo, with the S5ii and the Leica 24-70mm f/2.8. I am not very impressed, the blackbird deserves much more for "perching" so patiently.

This is the SOOC not edited jpg at 70mm with the Hybrid zom, that is 218mm. The file was 1.98MB, but I had to downsized a bit because the the system did not allow me to post it here (normally it should work).

• VARIO-ELMARIT-SL 1:2.8/24-70 ASPH.

This was the raw version at 70mm, just to have an idea of the crop:

This guy landed on my backyard fence for a few moments in the rain today. Luckily I had the 100-400 mounted and ready to go. Shot this through a window. I think it's a juvenile red-tailed hawk. By the time I switched to SH+ Pre (in a hope to get it taking off) it was gone. 100% crop.
