… the XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS is quite something.
Although getting the light right while moving through different wide focals is far from self evident. I lost some of the Summer clouds texture for instance.
Another issue with the XT-4, although not specific to this lens, is that I still haven’t discovered the proper hardware/software combo to get at the RAW files. Their format is different from the XT-3 and X100F. That would have helped a lot with those clouds. The loss of texture is mostly an artefact of compression.
An abandoned stone font and salvaged masonry littering the roofless tower of the ruins of Annesley All Saints Church, which dates to 1356. Annesley, Nottinghamshire, UK.
It's one of the most cute churches in Slovenia, standing on a panoramic hill above the Gorenjska plane. It was consecrated in 1523 and was long time a pilgrimage place. In the church there are valuable, old fresco paintings, It's interesting that behind the church there is a small karst hole which winds are indicating connections with a deeper cave. There some archaeological artefacts were found (also coins from antiquity), indicating a possible votive place.

Next to the Arrowtown Memorial is a Turkish field gun, a German made model, 1903, 75mm it was one of 558 delivered to Turkey between 1903 and 1907 by the German munitions company FRIEDRICH KRUPP at the Essen factory. Partially destroyed, the gun was captured in the Middle East between March 1917 and September 1918.
The gun was one of many artefacts brought back to New Zealand as part of a plan to develop a national war memorial in Wellington. Artefacts were distributed around the country and the Arrowtown Town Board applied for the gun which they received in 1921. The Memorial was unveiled in 1923.
Czech Republic, Prague
Josefov (also Jewish Quarter; German: Josefstadt) is a town quarter of Prague, Czech Republic, formerly the Jewish ghetto of the town. It is surrounded by the Old Town. The area survived Nazi occupation in the 20th century; Adolf Hitler intended to preserve the Jewish Quarter in Prague as a “Museum of an Extinct Race”. To this end, the Nazis plundered Jewish artefacts from other occupied territories and brought them to the Jewish Quarter in Prague to form part of the museum. The Jewish Quarter is also the birthplace of the celebrated Jewish novelist Franz Kafka, who is commemorated with a statue on Dusni street.
This was one of the most intensive and longest enduring burning skies I have seen for a long time. Luckily it happened right in front of a very juicy foreground. Was waiting for years to get epic light on a fresh, fluffy snow coverage. The tree trunk comes from a very special old tree, I have photographed many times before. Grab a hot chocolate, lean back and enjoy the view!

Czech Republic, Prague
Josefov (also Jewish Quarter; German: Josefstadt) is a town quarter of Prague, Czech Republic, formerly the Jewish ghetto of the town. It is surrounded by the Old Town. The area survived Nazi occupation in the 20th century; Adolf Hitler intended to preserve the Jewish Quarter in Prague as a “Museum of an Extinct Race”.

So here is my black and white re-edit of the 2019 Palais Theatre RAW file. Two things commended monochrome to me here. The first is the fact that the image was always sharp as a tack (you can easily read the enlarged signs on the theatre entrance). That wasn't the problem, colour was and it is why I now need a compelling reason to process a night shot in colour (the reverse of daytime photographs).
The second issue is that black and white to some degree can mask some of those artefacts I talked about in the "Just for fun" re-edit. That "fake" looking palm tree on the left (in the colour version) doesn't look so bad in black and white.
Finally, although I am nowhere near as satisfied with the outcome of this monochrome as "The National Theatre" I posted yesterday (there are just too many problems to solve in this RAW image), my own preference is for the monochrome version over the colour re-edit.
One of the photographs which changed my whole outlook on black and white night photography is this wonderful photograph from Hollywood in 1949 by Max Yavno, "Premiere at Carthey Circle, LA". It is in the Peter Fetterman collection and can be seen on the cover of his superb book, The Power of Photography (ACC Art Books, 2022). www.peterfetterman.com/artists/30-max-yavno/works/57953-m...
