[aus der Wikipedia]:

Wattenmeere (abgeleitet von Watt) sind bestimmte Küstenbereiche eines Meeres, die unter einem starken Einfluss der Gezeiten stehen.

Weite Flächen eines Wattenmeeres fallen regelmäßig zweimal täglich während der Niedrigwasserzeit (Ebbe) trocken und sind während der Hochwasserzeit (Flut) überflutet. Die bei Ebbe trocken fallenden Flächen bezeichnet man als Wattflächen. Der Begriff Wattenmeer wird allerdings nur auf Flachküsten mit Sand- oder Schlickwatten angewendet. Die Rinnen, durch die bei Ebbe das Wasser bevorzugt aus dem Watt abläuft bzw. bei Flut bevorzugt in das Watt einströmt, werden Priele, die größten davon Seegatten genannt.

Always a food adventure at this traditional food market.

The new m43 OM-1 still uses the same old 12bit processing pipeline. This apparently allows for faster read out speed but the sacrifice is DR and base ISO image quality, just like the faster 12bit mode in many 14bit cameras with larger sensors.

It’s high time m43 make a slower (fps) camera with greater emphasis on greater color depth at lower ISO than higher ISO noise performance. OM-1 for speed and wildlife AF and a “slower” OM-5 for stills and landscape for proper product differentiation instead of the muddled one between E-M5 Mkiii vs E-M1 Mkiii currently.

Perhaps the next OM-5 will be at the same 20mp but 14bit processing pipeline in line with APS-C offerings, doesn’t even need a stacked sensor, one can hope.

The Panasonic GH6 has also been announced meanwhile, it is a video centric camera unlike the OM-1 as expected. 2 GH6 features stood out personally;

1) Tilt-and-articulating screen, wished the OM-1 had this, personally hated the fully articulated swing out (swivel) screen on my E-M1 Mkii which cannot tilt unless it is swinged out into a different axis from the lens.

2) 100mp tripod based high resolution mode can now be shot handheld. Per the Panasonic announcement; “Thanks to this powerful image stabilization, even 100-megapixel high resolution images can be shot using the High-Resolution mode without a tripod. 8 consecutive images are automatically shot while shifting the sensor using the Body I.S. (Image Stabilizer) mechanism and synthesized into a 100-megapixel equivalent (11552 x 8672-pixel) image that faithfully reproduces precise details to be saved as beautiful, highly realistic RAW and JPEG images.” Does this mean that the pixelshift high resolution mode can be shot handheld? This is still a tripod only mode on the OM-1.

In recent years, there has been way too much online lobbying for the fully articulated swivel screen by video centric hobbyists. Not everyone cares for such a screen and many actually prefer just a basic flip out one along the axis of the lens. Hope Sony doesn’t adopt the annoying fully articulating swivel screen on all their cameras, as it is the latest A7IV has one, unfortunately.

The 2 high resolution modes in m43 work quite differently. Olympus handheld high resolution (HHHR) mode works by having the IBIS turning on and off intermittently to combine 16 shots from the resulting slight handheld movements as IBIS deactivates. The tripod based pixelshift is a more precise mode where the sensor moves by half a pixel and combines resulting 8 shots. Olympus in typical confusing fashion called the tripod based mode as “High Resolution” instead of “pixelshift” as other brands conventionally named it.

I’m very curious how the GH6 managed to pull off the pixelshift mode without a tripod. When the IBIS is utilized to shift the sensor ever so slightly to take the 8 frames, how can the IBIS simultaneously compensate for handheld movements? Or is this in fact just the normal “High Resolution” shot instead of the more precise “Pixelshift” mode? M43 has this extremely annoying practice of unconventional and even inconsistent nomenclature for their features!

This photo was created using pixel shift, which involved combining 16 shots taken by the camera. The sensor is shifted about half a pixel on each shot, yielding a much more detailed photo. This image is about 396 megapixels.

Durch den vielen Regen gibt es aber auch noch viel saftiges Grün.

The castle was built in the 1400s by the Venetian Querini family on the ruins of the ancient acropolis. There are three churches inside, the one shown here is called "Virgin Mary of the Castle" and was constructed in 1853. In Greek mythology, Astypale was the sister of Europa.

Most people would be trying to take a photo of Slains Castle immediately hogging most of the field of view to the left. Me, I aimed for the coastline and made this study of the rocks instead. Yay rocks.
