I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive
The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.
Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.
The uploaded JPEG is about 17MB in size, the AVIF 1.9MB.
This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.
I used this parameters:
avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif
The result is:
- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)
- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)
- 12 bit per channel

When I saw this I wasn't sure what it was or what it represented as workers were finishing the installation. Since then I've learned that it represents data visualization it reflects the global impact of food production and consumption on the environment. Part of the "Around The Table" exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden. I still don't understand it but it's nice to look at.
If you are someone inclined to look at exif data you would notice that after 6 years there is a camera change here. I am not one who needs to keep up with the "latest and greatest". My little D610 has served me well and given me many images that I love. However, my eyesight which has been poor since childhood has taken a nosedive over the last couple of years due to retina complications. I found it harder and harder to focus my manual lenses...especially my favorite old 135mm. Even on auto focus I couldn't really see whether my images were acceptable unless I was tethered to my computer and that was rare since I only do a little studio shooting.
For many months I deliberated over whether I could justify the expense...and which Nikon to go for. The D850 images had crazy awesome megapixel stats...but it is heavy and pricey. Then Nikon ran a sale on the D780 and I bit. I am so glad I made the leap...I can see so clearly through the viewfinder, and the live view option as well as the tilting screen have made the chore of shooting into a delight again.
So just as these fresh new ferns signal a new beginning with summer, so my camera switch is providing a fresh approach in my photographic journey.
OH and PS...if anyone with decent eyesight is looking for a perfectly good used D610 cheap, just let me know.

Thank you so much for your visit!

Estatua de Juan Sebastián Elcano, Guipúzcoa, País Vasco, España.
Obra de bronce del escultor aragonés Antonio Palao que data de 1861.
Getaria es un municipio español de la provincia de Guipúzcoa, País Vasco.
Getaria es un pueblo costero, conocido principalmente por ser la localidad natal de dos personalidades mundialmente célebres: el marino Juan Sebastián Elcano (el primer hombre que dio la vuelta al mundo) y el modista Cristóbal Balenciaga. Es un destino turístico habitual dentro del País Vasco. Son famosos sus restaurantes que preparan pescado a la parrilla y el vino blanco con denominación de origen que se cultiva en sus cercanías que recibe el nombre de chacolí de Getaria.
El municipio de Getaria ocupa un tramo de la costa central de Guipúzcoa, a orillas del mar Cantábrico. Este tramo está formado por una escarpada cornisa en la que sin embargo se han formado una serie de ensenadas y puntas a causa de la erosión.
El casco urbano de Getaria está ubicado en el tómbolo que enlaza tierra firme con el Monte de San Antón, que hasta el siglo XVI fue una isla. La población cubre el desnivel existente entre la cornisa y el tómbolo situado a nivel del mar, donde se encuentra el puerto. La silueta del monte San Antón se asemeja a un ratón, formando el tómbolo y la localidad de Getaria su cola. Es por ello que el monte San Antón es más conocido con el sobrenombre de El Ratón de Getaria, que forma una de las postales más comunes de toda Guipúzcoa.
Hacia el interior se ubica el monte Gárate (278 m), que corre paralelo a la costa y en cuyas suaves faldas se ubican los caseríos de Getaria. Todo el terreno situado entre el Gárate y la costa está sembrado de viñedos debido al microclima que se genera en la zona. El monte Gárate ocupa el centro del municipio
Getaria is a Spanish municipality in the province of Guipúzcoa, Basque Country.
Getaria is a coastal town, known mainly for being the birthplace of two world-famous personalities: the sailor Juan Sebastián Elcano (the first man to go around the world) and the dressmaker Cristóbal Balenciaga. It is a common tourist destination within the Basque Country. Its restaurants that prepare grilled fish and the white wine with a designation of origin that is grown in its surroundings are famous, and it is called chacolí de Getaria.
The municipality of Getaria occupies a section of the central coast of Guipúzcoa, on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea. This section is formed by a steep cornice in which, however, a series of inlets and points have been formed due to erosion.
The town of Getaria is located on the tomb that connects the mainland with Monte de San Antón, which until the 16th century was an island. The population covers the gap between the cornice and the tombstone located at sea level, where the port is located. The silhouette of Mount San Antón resembles a mouse, forming the tombolo and the town of Getaria its tail. That is why Mount San Antón is better known by the nickname of El Ratón de Getaria, which forms one of the most common postcards in all of Guipúzcoa.
Inland, Mount Gárate (278 m) is located, which runs parallel to the coast and on whose gentle slopes are located the villages of Getaria. All the land between the Gárate and the coast is planted with vineyards due to the microclimate that is generated in the area. Mount Gárate occupies the center of the municipality

two weeks ago I was confronted with my data in a hard way. My large storage device “Drobo” refused to operate after I upgraded it with another 2TB drive. The drive became unresponsive and after a while it did came back giving me the opportunity to retrieve some data…since this was my largest storage device I had to make sacrifices to the data I could retrieve, so I had to delete all my movies, series and software I had collected over the years. Luckily I did manage to backup my photography work.
That same week my laptop died and it has been sent back to Apple for repairs.
Fortunatly I do hold regular backup sessions, but it’s still a hassle and I’m once again aware that all data is fleeting, and no storage medium is safe from harm. Photo’s can burn, disk drives will fail…it’s time holographic data crystals are made…at least they seem stable enough….

I love to revisit the Lego themes of my childhood, as many AFOLs do. Thinking back on the space faction that I found most appealing, Spyrius has to be it! Even as a kid, I always wondered what on Earth Spyrius was about. I mean M-Tron had mining, the Exploriens had archaeology, I even had a decent reason for why Ice Planet loved rockets with warheads so much (Originally part of the Futuron faction, these explorers were trying to spread out to other worlds typically too cold to inhabit. They were trying to thaw the planet with thermonuclear warheads.)
But Spyrius? The name seems to imply they have some secret mission, possibly espionage. I don't see how that's possible when you're trolling around the planet in a giant robot! I've always wanted Lego to revisit the theme (I know they won't, but a guy can dream, right?). I always envisioned a neo-Spyrius losing the bright, bold red for a sneakier dark red. I saw them as less as big robot-wielding baddies and more comparable to modern-day hacker groups, looking to disturb the peace maintained by Unitron by hacking their data systems and stealing information.
This is my attempt at a neo-Spyrius vehicle - a silent hovercraft built to sneak into a heavily-guarded outpost, hook up some cables, and quickly grab all the info it can. I built a small Unitron base so you can see that in action, and I hope to have more pictures of that this week.
I hope my picture-taking and photoshopping is getting better. I'm super rusty! I am looking at cameras so I can stop using my phone, as well as a better lighting setup. Still, even if I get all that, I'll certainly need more practice.
One of the highlights of each year's Japan workshop, is to photograph white-tailed and Steller sea eagles on the pack ice that comes floating down from Siberia.
To see these amazing creatures in action is a real joy, even without a camera.
We use a small boat for our group to sail between the pack ice, and watch the birds flying around us or sitting on the pack ice.
Usually, there are so many eagles flying around, it's hard to keep track of them and we warn each other when we see one coming. It's great fun.
This shot shows a white-tailed eagle that is about to steal a fish from another eagle. It was snowing heavily, but I think the snow flakes add to the atmosphere. It may just look like a snowy landscape, but this is a large piece of ice on the ocean.
Manual exposure, spot metered off the snow, shutter speed around 1/1250s.
If you would like to join me on our next White & Wild Japan workshop, please have a look on my website for more information, pictures and tour impression video clips:
