Shot on new Kodak Ektachrome 100 with Contax RX camera and CZ Distagon 35mm f2.8 lens in 2018. Digitized with Sony A7R3 camera and Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro lens using Pixel Shift mode.
A rather rugged attempt at a window-sill - a view from inside the reconstructed Black House looking out at the Aillean Forest, above Loch Tummel, Pitlochry
This a wide open center shot of the above lens. I used pixel shift and micro contrast sharpening via RAW Therapee.

Pixel Shift with Nikon NX Studio
Focus stacking with Helicon
I was asked by Nikon to test shoot the 3.0 FW with a special interest in the new ability to use Pixel Shift and Focus Shift at the same time.
Pixel Shift is an option where the camera moves the sensor during a series of captures. This series is then merged in the Nikon NX Studio software. In this case, the pixel shift option was set to the maximum capture option of 32 images. The camera exposed an image then moved the sensor… about half the width of a single pixel… and exposed the next one. For 32 images. Those 32 NEF (RAW) files were merged into one massive NEFX raw file that now has a resolution of about 180,000,000 pixels.
Focus Shift Shooting is an option where the camera makes an exposure then shifts focus to a different plane and makes another exposure. The cool part is that the camera is automatically setting the shift movement so that a series of images can be stacked on post in such a way to increase the depth of the PLANE of focus. This results in a subject the can have a nearly unlimited amount of the subject focus. Not just more depth of field, but depth of actual in focus.
The Z8 FW 3.0 is the first time anyone has offered both at the same time on a full frame professional camera.
The back of St Andrews Church with the Prysten House, St Andrews Abbey Hall and the Guildhall.
St Andrews Church was built between 1430 and 1490 with a plaque on the tower dating to 1460, and the Prysten house built c.1498, extended 1635.
This was taken using Pentax's pixel shift.

Test of Franka Solida I 6x6 folder with Frankar 75mm f/3.5 lens. It has its charm, but the focus field of this lens is very much curved, requiring a central position for your subject.
The more I visit this forest the more I notice about these trees. This is the only tree in this population which has these diagonal stripes on its bark. I do not know why this one has them.
Test of a 20-roll purchase of Fuji Sensia 400 expired between 2005 and 2010. Thankfully, it retained its film speed well, has little to no color cast, and shows fine grain. This shot was carefully incident metered at 320, which seems optimal. Due to these good results, I will take many rolls of it on my trip in two weeks.
About as far as I wanted to walk into Glen Tilt, at least on a first exploration - not least because any further would have taken me into a rifle range.
Still, a rather pleasant waterfall tumbling through the trees and rocks by the wayside. We like that, at least.
