*a cold February morning in the Wittlich valley*
Yesterday morning I was on the way to a new photo location, when I saw this morning mood, shortly, it had to be captured on the sensor.
Gestern Morgen war ich auf dem Weg zu einem neuen Fotostandort, als ich diese Morgenstimmung sah, kurz um, das mußte erst einmal auf den Sensor gebannt werden.

Sensorally submerging in the flowers, colors and music of a summer twilight
Location at Japonica 和物市
A little foggy with a bit of wildfire haze contributing maybe.
Leica D-Lux 3 from circa 2006. I have found a real fondness for CCD sensors, like this one and the sensor in my Canon 5D MK1. I love the creamy rendering.
The Beachcomber or ‘Stone Me’ and Others
I have over the years come across a few of these stone characters, and not only confined to the East Coast of England where I found the majority. They have been discovered in The States, France and Kent. A bit of a random order I know. Some have come home with me but in the main I have left them in situ. No stones were harmed in the making of these images and the ones who did come home did it willingly.
There has been a development, I have noticed faces looking at me embedded in other materials. I know, a bit left field. But I thought they needed to be identified. I haven’t yet seen any walls with ears but you never know. Is ‘Big Brother’ still watching?

Though I do have technologically advanced cameras, I tend to prefer older cameras (all these are second-hand cameras with a 16MP sensor) and use them manually. I am not rejecting technological excellence and sophisticated algorithms. All I am saying is that I have more joy when working manually and that Fuji's old 16MP sensor is really good enough for my purposes. This shot was done with my new (ten year old) Fuji X-Pro1.
Gawdy Sensor Ship
Plenty of sensors on this one including those ostentatious radars, a spinny round thing and a non-spinny round thing. All a little overblown?

Taken with Chinon 135mm F2.8 / Full Frame Sensor / Natural Light / Lightroom.
For example, I said that I was shooting in RAW mainly. True. However, I am just about to reserve one of my cameras for JPEG shots only. This is a JPEG shot done with the old X-Pro1 and a fast Fuji lens. The camera I am preparing for this will be the Fuji X-E2, also an 'old' (second hand) camera, but one with interesting features I am wishing to exploit. In fact, the equally old 16MP sensor is, in my view, one of the best ones Fuji has ever made. We'll see.
My first digital camera was a Canon A70, a 3MP point-and-shoot. I took a lot of shots with it in 2003-6 but after only 3 years or so it sometimes produced lines across the image; by 18 months after that it was doing this - though even then sometimes producing normal looking photos, as my folder of shots from its death throes reveals. This image has not been treated or cropped in any way - it's exactly the jpeg that came off the memory card.

Past week has been frosty. Soon even the hardiest flowers will wilt.
AKA Scentless false mayweed, scentless mayweed, scentless chamomile, wild chamomile, mayweed, false chamomile, Baldr's brow, peltosaunio (fin).
Taken with Canon nFD 50mm F1.4 / APS-C Sensor / Natural Light / Darktable.
I don't recognize this spider. It was rather large for Finnish nature, about 30-40mm in length.
Taken with Canon FD 50mm F3.5 Macro / APS-C Sensor / Unedited (Straight from camera).
I took this about a week ago.
It had started to snow and this fox showed up.
It was a long shot by my standards.
But, I like what I was seeing.
I reset the camera to use the crop sensor and took this shot.
I have started using the crop sensor and am pretty impressed with the results.
I hadn't really tried it before this.
This was a hand hold, no, tripod.
Camera Settings: f/7.1 - 1/250 - 500mm - ISO 1250
Have you ever had sensor spots ruin your photos? If so, you need to watch the latest video from Images in Focus where Juan and I discuss the best ways to change lenses along with various methods for cleaning your sensor. Check it out here:
When I went to China a few years back, my sensor got contaminated with dust near the beginning of my trip. I didn't know that had happened until I got home and saw a ton of dust spots on every shot - especially those taken at smaller apertures. Needless to say, I didn't process many shots from that trip since it was so much work cloning out all the sensor spots. But recording this video made me remember to go back in and process this shot! I really liked the atmosphere we had along with the glow the river caught!
This thing is too much fun. I'm glad sensor size has finally caught up to my needs (and for a reasonable price). Manhattan Beach Pier during the King Tides last week. Mavic 3 sky-high straight down. I'm not sure I agree with the "top-down" label these types of pics get. It's not the top. There's definitely more above me. I prefer look-down. But then again, I don't get to decide what things are called. I sound like a Boomer. But I'm not. I swear.
My bride and I pretty much always put a hummingbird feeder out at camp site when we set up. It's pretty amazing how fast the little critters will often find it, sometimes the day we set up. This little female (rufous, I believe) found it the morning after I set up and hung around all 4 days I was at Gold Lake in Plumas County California.
I shot this frame messing around a bit with the electronic shutter on my newest camera which is a mirrorless body. Shooting fast moving stuff with the electronic shutter doesn't always work because of a phenomenon known as "rolling shutter." Basically, the camera is actually capturing multiple frames simultaneously. It does this by capturing one line at a time from top to bottom of the sensor very quickly, but not quite as quickly as the actual exposure time (in this case 1/800 of a second). Therefore, unlike the normal mechanical shutter that opens pretty much all at once, exposes all at once, and closes, movement happens as different parts of the frame are exposed. This is fine for stationary subjects but generally undesirable for fast moving subjects and can result in some really freaky distortion (I got a couple frames where the bird turned and it looked like a wing was detached from the body). However, in the case of a bird on the wing while straight at the camera it can result in some interesting motion blur like I think happened here.
Tres veteranos científicos que lograron hace varias décadas dominar la luz y dieron lugar a aplicaciones prácticas en la electrónica y las comunicaciones, como los sensores de imagen de las cámaras digitales y la transmisión por fibra óptica a larga distancia, han obtenido el premio Nobel de Física. Según el comité Nobel, los científicos han contribuido a diseñar la actual red de la sociedad contemporánea con sus inventos.
Charles Kao, nacido en China en 1933 y que trabajaba en los laboratorios de Standard, en el Reino Unido, puso las bases para una transmisión eficiente de una enorme cantidad de información a través de la luz por las fibras ópticas, sin la cual no existiría la comunicación casi instantánea como la de Internet.
William Boyle (nacido en Canadá en 1924) y George Smith (nacido en 1930 en Estados Unidos) crearon en los Laboratorios Bell de Estados Unidos el circuito semiconductor de imagen CCD (Charged Coupled Device), el sensor que es la base de la fotografía digital y ha introducido los píxeles (unidades de información) en el lenguaje habitual. Por ejemplo, el telescopio espacial Hubble toma sus espectaculares imágenes a través de una avanzadísima cámara CCD. Estos científicos comparten la otra mitad del premio.
"Son inventos que han cambiado completamente nuestras vidas y también han proporcionado herramientas para la investigación científica", dijeron los representantes de la Academia de Ciencias sueca durante el anuncio del galardón.
La tecnología CCD se basa en el efecto fotoeléctrico que predijo Albert Einstein, y que le valió el premio Nobel en 1921. Este efecto hace que la luz se transforme en señales eléctricas. El hecho de que permita captar imágenes sin recurrir a la película y en forma digital ha hecho explotar las posibilidades de la fotografía y el video, incluidas las científicas, y facilita la transmisión de las imágenes por las redes mundiales de comunicaciones, basadas en gran parte en la fibra óptica, de la que ya hay instalados 1.000 millones de kilómetros.
