Thank you all for your visits, faves and comments!
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.
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
700KB for 35MP

Sony rx1 is a full frame compact camera with a fixed 35mm f2 Carl zeiss lens. With no built in viewfinder and small battery (same present in rx100 series) and not a possibility to change lens, above all the premium price tag, this camera won’t appeal to the masses. But if you own it it will surely be your companion on the streets of Paris,Milan or Munich. The sensor even though is around eight years old is still one of the best. The ability to use flash at any shutter speed can overpower sun easily. The dynamic range and micro contrast is exemplary. Do I like it? The simply answer is AN EMPHATIC YES. will i recommend it to you? Hmmm... no!

What's better than a grass field, in the early morning light, for a case study on depth of field?
Lens: EF 100 f/2.8L IS macro (click to see all my photos with this lens)
1/250s f/2.8 100mm ISO 100
Processing: I used the full opening to get a beautiful bokeh and a narrow DoF, and I had to manually stack several shots of the flower with two butterflies, so that both of them be in focus.

... for a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!
OLYMPUS 75mm f1.8 is arguably the sharpest lens in m4/3 and the definitely the best portrait lens if you can handle the unyieldingly long 150mm frame lines in full frame equivalent. I added raynox m250 magnifying lens and even at f2.5 there’s hardly any depth of field to wriggle my toes within! Look at the sliver of in-focus area hardly a couple of millimeters, at f1.8 it literally ceases to exist beyond and before ‘A POINT’ pun intended.
Herðubreið is a tuya ( A tuya is a type of distinctive, flat-topped, steep-sided volcano formed when lava erupts through a thick glacier or ice sheet) in north-east Iceland. It is situated in the Highlands of Iceland at the east side of the Ódáðahraun desert and close to Askja volcano. The desert is a large lava field originating from eruptions of Trölladyngja and other shield volcanoes in the area. Herðubreið was formed beneath the icesheet that covered Iceland during the last glacial period. *

Carbon River Trail, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Sometimes on the way to the "big things" on a hike, it is the small things that capture my attention and imagination.
I was crossing a little footbridge over this creek on the trail and noticed the reflections in the water. What captivated me was that the water was only shin deep at most, yet the reflections of the sky and trees made it look as though it were incredibly deep. As though one could dive in and sink to infinity, wherever that may be :-)
Looking into that reflection was completely mesmerizing and I stood there staring down into it for quite awhile, lost in the illusion of depth.
"She's real, she's deep, she's logical and mystical. She believes in kindness and oneness and romance and magic. She's sensitive and distant, a warrior, a lover. She believes in road trips to the stars and dancing with the universe. She's fearless and gentle, wondrous and brave. She lives in waterfalls and forests and sunsets and galaxies. She's the artist, the thinker, the poem, and the dream."

Nel mio dialetto, la parola ancarvarò indica un cielo pieno di nuvole in movimento, estremamente mutevole. E questo è il cielo tipico della primavera che, dopo il lungo inverno, sembra essere finalmente arrivata su queste colline.
In my dialect, the word ancarvarò indicates a sky full of moving clouds, extremely changeable. And this is the typical sky of spring which, after the long winter, seems to have finally arrived on these hills.
Looking back at some of this images I took at Lake Agnes there in Banff National Park ... it is hard to even Dream up such places in our minds as fantasy, and yet this exists in our real World. The wonder of life is to be able to seek out such places and be amazed by their splendor.
Seeing the sky mirrored next to the depths of this beautiful lake in the shadows of the mountain just overtaxes the brain synapses. Please view LARGE and enjoy what mother-nature has provided.
