This is the first shot I post with the 50mm F1.7. No more from the F2 (I gave it back and got this for a cheaper price).

Yesterday Alles shot a beautiful pic of us on my sim. (It's really *our* sim, because Alles and Kynne share a sky platform where they change outfits and take magical pics.) Anyway, while Alles - and later Kynne - were snapping away I took this closeup of myself with Alles. I had a fun afternoon with these two wonderful friends *and* got to spend the afternoon hugging Alles. <3
Nashville & Western Railway B23-7 4245 works Strategic Materials in Ashland City, TN. Unfortunately that place is so dusty all shots are a little hazy..
The Baseball is #one of the #sports that manages to unite many #nations through the #passion in every #episode.
Wagtail. Part of my continuing series with birds on boats, every wildlife image I see is usually a bird on a stick or in what is considered to be the natural habitat of the bird, but as man encroaches more and more into the wildlife habitat this is no longer necessarily the case, so I have decided to do a series with a difference, all the birds in this series are all shot on or about boats. The juxtaposition between nature and technology.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Monday" theme "Zed".
Two different grains of salt, the big one being sea salt, the other one alpine table salt! The big one is about 3 mm in size and though it is a giant compared to the small one... I really liked how it puts things into perspective! Everything is relative after all!
Shot with a "Tomioka-Copal 71 mm F 4" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
All shots of this series done with Leica M8 plus Voigtlander AS 2.8/90 wide-open. The location is one of Hertfordshire's garden centres (which, as I have told you before, I do regard as one of our barometers gauging the status of contemporary culture). This time, I had the chance of talking things through with one of the managers of the centre. First, the garden centre acquires and exhibits sculptures (and almost all sorts of them) because customers buy them. No surprise here, but as well no explanation as why they do so. Two, and importantly, the centre displays the sculptures according to visual criteria (difference of colour, background, focal or points of attraction). Three, the sculptures (as stand alone figures or in clusters) are located on critical junctions of the passage way through the centre. All this, in my view, creates a semi-sacred topography where customers (believers in the regeneration and wholeness of nature) perambulate as if on a procession. The content and individuality of any specific religion does not seem to matter, however, a general and undefined kind of spirituality does.

I managed to see the Aurora on Thursday night. I took loads of photos and had such a great time. I was completely alone on my favourite beach at Rhossili (3 miles long!). Not the best Aurora shots I have seen but still happy to get anything! All shots taken in RAW and converted to jpeg images with no added saturation.
all shots by KHWD from our travels worldwide, originally shot 30/4/17
want to see more images of papamoa beach or read the blog?

Light nights and late evenings force me to shoot in my kitchen with black out curtains and the lights turned off...
For this one I turned the circuit board to make it way out of parallel with the focal plane to make some great out of focus points of light.
All shot in one photographic exposure with a combination of flashguns and LED lights.
All shots of the whale sharks were taken responsibly, i.e. snorkeling, without using flashes and with sufficient distance.
The animals were not fed and swam in plankton-rich waters in a natural seasonal migratory corridor for whale sharks. When they had had enough, they dived into the depths.
All shots in this *PHOtage* were taken at our nearby fishing village, known for its famous "Stonington Scallops" . . .
Negative scanning: not quite there yet
This photo was converted differently from the preceding image. Most significantly, it was converted from a negative that was shot one stop overexposed (in the digitization process; all shots were correctly exposed at ISO 200 on film), while the previous one was converted from a shot that was one stop underexposed. The difference in grain and noise is quite obvious to my eyes.
I am continuing to work on my negative scanning skills with mixed but improving results. This is my latest conversion. The photo was taken on Kodak Portra 400 exposed at ISO 200. I'm not sure that this was the best approach and will be shooting at 320 in my next experiment. One stop of overexposure adds saturation and appears to do some odd things to the sky (or is it that my skills at converting negatives and color correction are simply not there yet?).
For this one, I digitized the film using my Canon EOS R and my trusty Sigma 105mm Macro. Upon importing into Adobe Lightroom, I used the Enhance command, which refines the quality of raw files and creates an enhanced DNG file. I converted the DNG file using Negative Lab Pro, which gave me better colors than Negmaster for some reason. I then finished processing the image in Photoshop.
Any hints, critiques, advice, and/or other input is cordially requested. Any questions will be answered to the best of my ability.
Technical information:
Camera: Zenza Bronica ETRSI
Lens: Zenzanon PE 50mm f/2.8
Filme: Kodak Portra 400 overexposed by one stop (ISO 200)
Processed by Memphis Film Lab
Digitized with a Canon EOS R, Sigma 105mm Macro, the Valoi 360 film holder, and converted with Negative Lab Pro software in Adobe Lightroom, then edited in Adobe Photoshop
All shots were taken this week at Radnor Lake, Tennessee

I've been messing around with trying to do a nightscape with the Milky Way, all shot at 35mm, and I posted my first attempt last month. I've given it another try here after deciding the image needed something else. Now after staring at this I think I need to be on the other side of the tree... so I may try this one more time.
