The trees here seemed to be beckoning me to enter. But it was on this day a muscular six-point buck advanced on me and kept following for some distance. I knew better than to challenge him and concluded the excursion with haste!

I was always a lover of soft-winged things.

Klosterkirche St. Urban (16-Pixel Shift)

Jeezzz.... calm down! This is just my daily coffee and creatine monohydrate powder lines! To think there was anything illegal going on here, I'm shocked!

Dusk had well and truly fallen by the time I made it back along the track between golf course and the River Tay toward Kenmore, so I used light-painting to lift the shadow tones in this view of the monument.

Correcting tungsten film for sunlight, the shadows go neon blue.

A composite of two frames was required, as there was no way to get enough depth of field.

Pixel Shift with Nikon NX Studio

Focus stacking with Helicon

I was asked by Nikon to test shoot the 3.0 FW with a special interest in the new ability to use Pixel Shift and Focus Shift at the same time.

Pixel Shift is an option where the camera moves the sensor during a series of captures. This series is then merged in the Nikon NX Studio software. In this case, the pixel shift option was set to the maximum capture option of 32 images. The camera exposed an image then moved the sensor… about half the width of a single pixel… and exposed the next one. For 32 images. Those 32 NEF (RAW) files were merged into one massive NEFX raw file that now has a resolution of about 180,000,000 pixels.

Focus Shift Shooting is an option where the camera makes an exposure then shifts focus to a different plane and makes another exposure. The cool part is that the camera is automatically setting the shift movement so that a series of images can be stacked on post in such a way to increase the depth of the PLANE of focus. This results in a subject the can have a nearly unlimited amount of the subject focus. Not just more depth of field, but depth of actual in focus.

The Z8 FW 3.0 is the first time anyone has offered both at the same time on a full frame professional camera.

Another view of Restormel Castle. This one shows the ditch surrounding the motte and shell keep and also the remains of the gatehouse which originally was three stories high.

The two windows in the wall light a small corridor built into the wall. the purpose of this corridor is unknown but may have been to view events such as jousting from the keep.

Similar to before, the only masking however is the water fall and pool, therefore the only masking at the subjects is Steve's right leg/shin.

The overall picture has more noise but has a better balance of sharpness than the earlier stack.

Not quite the Edinburgh Castle Rock I grew up around and am used to, but very scenic nonetheless :)

Elena did a pretty good job for her first picture with a rangefinder.

Pixelshift Test with my A7RIII

My good friend Al loaned me his 14mm 2.8 Sigma, I thought it would be interesting to see the difference between my Dad's Sigma 10-20mm (on the KP).

Both edited with RNI Velvia 50, interesting to see the different colour casts.
