My Photoblog- My Third Eye...!
Am frühen Morgen unserer Tour am Wallberg hatten wir immer noch eine wunderschöne Hochnebellage zu bestaunen. Je näher wir dem Sonnenaufgang kamen, zog sich das Wolkenmeer allerdings langsam zurück, und es entstand ein richtig cooler Effekt in einem kleinen Tal unterhalb des Gipfels. Die Aufnahme ist mit einem HAIDA ND1000x und der Pentax K1
entstanden.
a little Sunday abstract - who knows if some composition ideas of abstract painters, artists were not inspired by distortions seen through glass...
The passage of time is most likely an illusion even though our senses tell us that time flows.
Consciousness may involve thermodynamic or quantum processes that lend the impression of living moment by moment. According to a certain physicist, time is not real and what we regard as the time is no more than changes that lead to the illusion of time.
8s exposure, liked this angle with the water falling on the moss covered rocks like white silk and the warm light streaming in from the right.
In a rather strange move, Nikon just released a rebranded 1st Gen Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens in Z mount at $1,199.95, the lens diagrams for the mirrorless Z and E mount versions are identical with identical MTF and minimum focus distance.
Like some Matrix “black cat” deja vu, Olympus (after being spun off from the Olympus Parent Co) did the same thing previously with the remounted 100-400mm f5-6.3 IS which was derived from Sigma’s older DSLR version of the same lens rather than the newer mirrorless 100-400mm DN version while asking for a price way in excess of the original Sigma DSLR lens!
The newer Sony E mount Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 G2 is currently available for $899 and the superseded version (now rebranded Z version) was released back in 2018 at $800. This makes the rebranded Z mount version 50% (+$400!) more expensive than the 2018 E mount version! Heck, the rebranded Z version is even ⅓ more expensive than the newest 2021 Tamron G2 version! Adding insult to injury, the remounted Z lens won’t get Tamron’s much longer 5 years warranty.
More choice is great but it’s not good to fleece one’s loyal customers so blatantly. The issue is not about who actually made the lens but rather Nikon charging 50% more for a lens that has already been replaced by a newer G2 version which is way, way too much just for native AF compatibility!!
As expected, the usual Nikon Z-ealot fanbois shills are out in full force with hyperbolic rationalization and attempts to warp space-time by suggesting that the Z mount version has some magical secret Nikon sauce for better performance, steering discussions well away from the ridiculous 50% premium for a superseded model! Ludicrous mental gymnastics such as outright denial that it’s the same lens, hallucinating possible addition of Nikon lens coatings or AF motors or that Leica does the same with rebranding Sigma lenses hence this is kosher…..
Nikon Z-ealots were already trying to spin that the Z 24-120mm f4 S is optically superior just because the VR mechanism was omitted! Tamron typically leaves out VR in their mirrorless lenses, perhaps the new Z 24-120mm f4.0 S was also designed by Tamron since this was also announced at the same time as the rebranded Z 28-75mm f2.8!?
Really odd behaviour that we seldom see in folks using other brands, perhaps Z-ealot shills live in the Matrix and hence lost all capacity to discern reality from fiction!
When the equivalent Z lens is markedly larger than other brands’ versions, Z-ealots will tell you that Nikon optimized performance over size! Nikon’s largest Z mount diameter supposedly allows for more efficient lens designs but yet they end up with larger, heavier and more expensive lenses, why?
The likely reason is all about financials. Nikon’s market share has been shrinking for years, their mirrorless market share is even smaller and continues to shrink in a shrinking market. In order to generate enough revenue to offset their higher fixed costs (esp R&D) over diminishing unit sales, they have to charge ever higher margins. As such even if the bigger mount diameter hypothetically does allow for more efficient lens designs, whatever design benefits derived must 1st go towards bolstering the Nikon imaging division’s bottomline hence their Z mount lenses ended up bigger, heavier and more expensive at the expense of the consumer! The Z system does not offer value to the consumer; www.flickr.com/photos/86145600@N07/51134617306/in/datepos...
Nikon has always been behind in releasing and updating lenses as well. This is also a direct consequence of a smaller market share even during the DSLR era. Canon will have version III lenses out when Nikon in many cases never even manage to update to version II.
In the UWA category, Canon had EF 16-35mm f2.8L III while Nikon was stuck with their 1st version at f4 from 2010! Fixed aperture standard zoom Canon EF 24-105mm f4 got version II updates vs Nikon’s single generation AF-S 24-120mm f4. Same for Prime lenses, Canon EF 35mm f1.4II while Nikon never went beyond AF-S 35mm f1.4G from 2010. Canon’s superb variable aperture EF 100-400mm II while Nikon never got beyond their disappointing 1st version 80-400mm zoom from 1996. Even with supertele exotics, Canon EF 400mm f2.8, 500mm f4 and 600mm f4 all reached 3rd generation updates while Nikon only managed 2 generations. Now in the mirrorless age, Nikon’s market share is even smaller, very small in fact. No wonder the Nikon shills have been so frantically spewing misinformation in the gear forums!
The Z 800mm f6.3 PF VR announcement is however much more exciting! This is the area where Nikon appears to have real competitive advantage over others.
Detail of a painting, somewhat tweaked, seen at SF MOMA. I thought was interesting how similar this image is to some abstracts that I did of water reflections. www.flickr.com/photos/booksin/50875184712/in/dateposted-p...

Tonight's sunset along the south coast was simply AMAZING! Pinks and reds filled the sky and I was down at my local river bank watching the awesome display. Sadly due to bad planning on my part, I realised I couldn't get down into the section of river which I had my heart set on. Instead I stood there and watched the brilliant end to the day and shot down at the river without any of the sky in the frame. For what I thought was going terribly wrong I realised that the flowing water was picking up the colour nicely. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow....
wünsche allen ein sonniges Wochenende, bei mir steht mal shopping auf dem Plan und ein Ausflug nach Wismar
Glad I wore shorts this day! Getting a little wet in the name of capturing good water flow :-)
Very low swell this time but an occasional set did come in.

This turtle Rock cave was made for rice paddy cultivation about 350 years ago.
It's confirmed that a rock similar to a turtle is in the cave, at the time of a long-run average water flow
It's said that it's possible to see the shape of the turtle clearly.
It's able to come down to a riverside near the cave in turtle Rock, in a cave, the difference
You do and show me various expressions by the crowded morning sun and a season.
This is the 3rd time, but a visit to this cave clear up well from a morning on this day, please.
It drew in and I still endured the dim coldness and waited for an arrival of the morning sun in earnestness.
The morning sun of the fact 2 hour expectation for which I wait put in through a cave!
Have a view of its moment environment in a moment and wrap oneself up in dreamy space.
The full of emotion was made magic of light.
The only other semi-decent image I managed to capture on my washed out trip on New Years Day. I think the composition would have been better from the other bank but the flow was fast the the boulders slippy. I figured I was just carrying too much gear to take the risk! All said it isn't a bad image and will have to satisfy my upload fix today :-)
Another one from Ennerdale on Sunday morning, the light was quite extreme creating an interesting effect, but I also had to grab a shot of the wier because i havent seen the water at this level for a while.
In this photograph, I wanted to capture the very essence of architectural movement. The tight framing on these black and white curves transforms the architecture into a pure abstract composition. I deliberately chose to eliminate any context to preserve only this undulating rhythm that evokes a perpetual flow. The black and white treatment amplifies the power of contrasts and emphasizes the sculptural dimension of these lines that seem to float in space. My intention was to reveal how architecture can transcend its function to become a graphic artwork where geometry and light combine in a silent dance.
