The characteristic ice-cool pale wisps of noctilucent clouds in the distance (at 80km, their altitude far exceeds any other normal cloud up to 12km). As I watched a low-lying cloud of mist formed over Strathearn and made its way west over Crieff.

(the purple is present on the slide, I reduced it slightly but thought twice about balancing it out completely)

Where ever I can I prefer to use Pixelshift with my old SMC Pentax-A 24/2.8, it seems to be one of those lenses that drastically improves in sharpness with that feature on.

This shot here is a 4-5 panorama stitch with each shot in pixelshift mode.

I'm in the states, the stupa is half a kilometer away in Canada, and the balloon is a mile away in the states again. Crazy, huh? There wasn't much time to catch them together.

Taken with a Pentax K-1, using the pixel shift facility, with the Pentax D-FA 100 mm f2.8 Macro.

Prior to metamorphosis, this used to be sandstone. Now it forms a medium/coarse-grained rock, pale blue-green in colour, along the line of the Highland Boundary Fault.

This time, I wanted to see what happens when I add a bit of accentuation of all the wall details that has already been captured with pixelshift.

A very light setting on NikEfex "Detail Enhancer" at a setting of "3" (slider is 0-100) does well it seems.

Still waiting for the weather to improve so I can get out and test some of the K-1 Pixel Shift capabilities in the field. In the meantime, here are a couple of quickie still life/macro shots, shot on a tripod in my lviing room with natural light.

I used a Canon FL 55mm f/1.2 prime lens that I had converted a while back to fully manual K mount. Despite being half a century old, it's one of my favorite lenses, making up for any shortcomings in sharpness/aberrations with simply gorgeous rendering of both in-focus and out of focus elements of a scene.

Both images were taken at ISO100 with pixel shift activated. The closeup of the Columbine flower required the use of a 20mm extension tube, while the wider angle stil life has been cropped about 10-15%.
