aerial view of the north Norfolk coast - heading towards the Blakeney National Nature Reserve - Norfolk coast UK aerial image
Shot taken handheld with Olympus E-M1 Mk2 mated with the old Panasonic 100-300mm f4.0-5.6 OIS.
Portrait orientation crop of the original shot taken in Landscape orientation and then further tighter crop again. The cropped file was up-sized to its original uncropped resolution.
Works rather well with lots of fine feather details even after a heavy crop. Useful when we are usually focal length challenged when it comes to shooting small birds.
Some cameras have in-cam up-rez functions, Olympus called it “Digital Teleconverter” while Sony’s version is called “Clear Image Zoom” but they produce JPEG only results hence up-rez is best done on the computer with the RAW file because RAW is a canvas unlike JPEG.
Meanwhile Nikon just did an Olympus (in E-M1X & E-M1 Mk3) with their 2nd Gen Z6ii and Z7ii by adding a 2nd processor while using the same sensor (on practically identical bodies!). At least the E-M1 Mk3 has some useful new features (Live ND, HHHR) and better IBIS from the E-M1X even though its body is almost identical to the E-M1 Mk2. Also identical to the Olympus playbook, Nikon used the same sensor in 3 successive cameras in D850, Z7 and now Z7ii.
There is no new tech in the Nikon Z 2nd Gen that they could not have implemented in their 1st Gen 2 years ago, the biggest benefit of the 2nd Gen (Z7ii +$400 over its predecessor) is probably just the ability to finally use cheaper SD cards, regardless of whether it was 1 or 2 card slots. Compared to Canon 2nd Gen bodies, Nikon does not appear to be trying hard enough or has Nikon been more deeply impacted by the pandemic? Can’t help but think that Nikon is possibly holding back for their next Z camera, already rumors exist for the Z8 or Z9 pro spec mirrorless camera.
In stark contrast, smartphones continue to make progress with every new iteration, iPhone 12 now has RAW and multi-shot modes are no longer just limited to the wide angle as was in iPhone 11.
Not necessarily a bad thing, especially for those shooting with the Nikon D850, might as well continue to wait a little longer for a true upgrade.
The tsunami of ultra defensive comments, warped rationalization coupled with their usual mental gymnastics in various forums from the Z Gen 2 marketeers are quite telling, some even resorted to taking potshots at the Canon EOS R5 but these same folks will overreact and turn porcupine-y over any less than positive comments about “their” brand as if it’s their tribal totem. I use gear from various companies but the Nikon Z-ealots are truly obnoxious by some margin, just plain toxic and bitter! These people lack any genuine ability to see the positives in other brands while being utterly blind to the faults of the brand they worshipped.
For Nikon Z, given that Gen 2 (Z7ii & Z6ii) is such a minor iterative upgrade, one might as well wait for Gen 3 and besides with the Covid situation, another couple of years is not that long a wait. Someone made a rather astute observation; 3rd Gen will get most things right, 1st Gen is usually buggy (most of us knew that), 2nd Gen is typically rushed to fix 1st Gen bugs. Many instances support this;
1) Nikon
D7000=>D7100=>D7200; D600=>D610=>D750; D800/E=>D810=>D850
2) Sony
a7=>a7ii=>a7iii; a7R=a7Rii=a7Riii
Well, Today my account turns 10 years old...I wasn't fully active for all the those years with a few major breaks here and there.
I have met some of the greatest friends through second life, and I'm feeling #blessed to have them in my life.
we all know what song this is.
Just a quick lil picture.
Al lado de la iglesia de este pueblo típico de los valles de los Montes de León, reza un letrero atrevido y misterioso:
La Compleutica prerrománica
Complutum de los romanos
Cuna del monacato español
Tierra del Santo Abad Fructuoso
De sangre real goda, padre de los monjes visigodos
Fundador de nueve monasterios, organizador
De la vida monástica, peregrino de dios
Obispo de Gumio y metroplitano de Braga (Portugal).
Fue fundado este cenobio hacia el año 614
En él vivieron San Valerio y otros monjes ilustres
Siendo dotado por el rey Chindasvinto
Y por su esposa Reciberga en el año 646.
Visite este milenario pueblo,
la iglesia, el solar del Monasterio, el Monumento,
la herrería y su hermoso valle.
Hoy, pueblo agricultor y pastoril.
Así dice el letrero y, por haberlas visto de mis propios ojos, esas maravillas existen a dos pasos del Camino de Santiago entre El Acebo y Molinaseca en las tierras milenarias del Bierzo, tierras de transición y de tradición
*
Village pittoresque de montagne, Compludo étonne par son architecture populaire typique parfaitement conservée. Sa forge, d’un modèle archaïque, mais particulièrement ingénieux, a fonctionné jusqu’aux années 70 du siècle dernier, et le fait encore occasionnellement au cours des démonstrations organisées. A côté de l’église d’une simplicité émouvante, un écriteau vante les beautés du lieu. Celles-ci sont bien réelles et font la richesse spirituelle d’un village créé en l’an de grâce 614…

As I reflect on my four years in Second Life I feel so lucky. I feel so blessed to be with the person I am. I feel so blessed to have the family and friends I do, I love being miss LUMIPro and working with all of our users each day. Yay 4 years!
Happy 8 yr Rez day to me! lol Time to celebrate? I am only 6 days late. lol But between my life and trying to figure out a new outfit/set up a scene and also having a little welcomed distraction of the male persuasion, oops I am late. One girl two cups? lmao! sorry couldn't resist that little twist! Don't worry, that's NOT happening. But... two for me, none for you? hah I am being cheeky with the wine glasses due to something someone said the other day. :* *grins* Also how could I not buy and wear the beautiful corset carrying my name?! <3
"I'm coming for you
When the sun goes down
I'm coming for you
When there's no one around
I come to your house
Break down the door
Girl, I'm shaking
I need more
There's only one way to soothe my soul (there's only one way to soothe my soul)
There's only one way to soothe my soul (only one way to soothe my soul)
Only one way (only one way)
Only one way (only one way)
Only one way (only one way)
Only one way (only one way)
I'm coming for you
I need to feel your skin
I'm coming for you
To stop this crawling
I'm taking my place
By your side
I'm not leaving
Until I'm satisfied
There's only one way to soothe my soul (there's only one way to soothe my soul)
There's only one way (only one way)
Only one way (only one way)
I'm coming for you
My body's hungry
I'm coming for you
Like a junkie
I can't stop
Desire in me
I'm not waiting
Patiently"
8 years in......Struggle teaches you a lot of things, and some days in here were definitely that! I am happy that I took this roller coaster ride called Second Life. The journey has improved me as a person..........All I do is count my blessings and try to be as present as I can, and I'm thankful for every step. Thank you Jack for being such an amazing part of this last year.

A little pic I did for two very close and important friends of mine. Good luck on your journey hon.. I know you are in great hands ;)
So I have been around for a good 15 years or more in SL. And I have never celebrated a rez day. I always forget and miss them etc. Well it just so happens I went to a store and it screamed it at me and between yesterday morning and last night these two amazing girls managed to throw an impompto surprise party. I didn't get any other shots but I will just say I am eternally blessed with an amazing family that always manages to outdo themselves when I least expect it.

Una noche contigo
Es por lo que estoy rezando ahora
Las cosas que nosotros dos podríamos planear
Haría mis sueños realidad
Sólo llama mi nombre
Y estaré a tu lado
Quiero tu dulce mano de ayuda
Mi amor es demasiado fuerte para esconderse
Siempre vivido, vida muy tranquila
Nunca he hecho nada malo
Ahora sé que la vida sin ti
Ha estado demasiado solo demasiado tiempo
Es por lo que estoy rezando ahora
Las cosas que nosotros dos podríamos planear
Haría mis sueños realidad
