An old heavy glass and metal lamp meant to hold a large candle. I repainted and cleaned it from a pretty rough state some years ago. More recently, I put a couple strings of solar LED lights inside it. They aren't bright enough to be very useful but they made a nice effect with the snow. The 510-pyro is showing off its effect of good highlight separation here.
Testing Pixelshift (4 images combined in camera). Yhe Pixelshift technology works by moving the sensor between the four exposures. The resulting image is supposed to show more detail, compared to an ordenary, single exposure image.

Movement Correction (MC) is meant for moving subjects, like waterfalls or wind in trees etc. It seems to me, that the No MC pixelshift (centre image) works the best, when camera is on a tripod.

This church was mostly completed by 1420 but took another 80 years to fully complete with the tower being last. There have been earlier churches here as records exists of rectors going back tho 1253.
To allow for the new tower the earlier smaller tower was taken down and part of the church roof and windows were raised. You can see the raised roof in the image.

I tried to do something different today with these mild flowing waterfall shots, I tried to sort the sky out along with the rest of the scene.
Usually my sky shot is less than desirable, grey whiteout highlight blown mess, I tried to approach the problem from a different angle and take two shots, one exposed for the sky, the other for the fall.
Eh... it's a work in progress...
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%.

100% crop from Secret hollow. I just noticed this Galax (Galax urceolata) in the photo; this closer look shows developing bloom spikes. A good example of how much resolution the K-1's "pixel-shift" mode can produce.
