- Really Right Stuff Tripod & Ballhead
The Sun just popped over a hill and cast this beautiful golden light on the scene as I was driving past.
I quickly caught the shot and then went to set up my tripod for a better shot as this was a good distance away. By the time I got the tripod open, the light was gone. So the first handheld shot was the keeper.
I must look clueless when I am out shooting and have sad puppy dog eyes were friendly people want to help correct my ways.
On this sunset, I was at Panorama Point in Capitol Reef National Park. The "view" is the opposite direction, and I was set up with my tripod looking in the opposite direction from everyone else.
Three separate people came up to me, letting me know where I was supposed to be shooting. I thanked them for their kindness and stood my ground :-)

A fine, sunny winter's day seemed a very good excuse to go for a wander along a beach - this one at Kai Iwi near Whanganui.

¿Cuándo se creó Donostia?
La Villa de San Sebastián fue fundada hacia 1180 por Sancho el Sabio, rey de Navarra, y recibió el tÃtulo de Ciudad en 1662 por el rey Felipe IV. Es capital de Guipúzcoa de 1821 a 1844, en que la sustituyó Tolosa, recuperando la capitalidad en 1854.
A mi amigo Pablo y la ciudad mas bella del mundo.
La fotografia esta realizada sin tripode asi que pido disculpas por la falta de calidad...
So I am standing there is Spokane's great park, the tripod is ready, the light is getting better and better, but the image still needed something. I could not put my finger on what. Should I get lower? Add a filter? Somethings not quite right. Then, as if they heard my mental ramblings, these ducks come swimming into the frame. Oh, yes, thats just what I needed, thank you Donald and your merry band of photo props.

It's hard to resist taking photos at the Land Park duck pond as there are 100s of blooming lotus blossoms. They're particularly lovely in the soft early morning light
Day two of using a tripod and using the camera's mirror lock-up feature. What a difference it makes!
Fairy Glen One of the principal natural attractions of the village, and where Wuhelmina Stitch, "waits and waits, to see the fairy men.
Located only a short distance from Beaver bridge, a combination of rapids and cascades on the Conwy river are chanelled into a narrow ravine presenting an impressive and dramatic scene. Wooded banks and rock walls clothed with vegetation add to the charm. Fairy Glen is reached by a path from Fairy Glen Hotel beside the A470.
I needed to stand on top of my truck's tonneau with my tripod in order to get a clear shot of the Kite's nest. Lucky for me, the tonneau holds 500 lbs.
Betws-y-Coed is one of the honeypot locations in Snowdonia. It lies in the Snowdonia National Park, in a valley near the point where the River Conwy is joined by the River Llugwy and the River Lledr, and was founded around a monastery in the late sixth century.

Landeshaupthöhenpunkt Berlin, Britzer Garten
Der Landesverein Berlin des Deutschen Vereins für Vermessungswesen hatte dazu aufgefordert, Gestaltungsentwürfe für den neuen Haupthöhenpunkt einzureichen. Der von Björn-Gunnar Schmidt eingereichte Vorschlag „Lot auf Dreifuss“ erhielt den 1. Preis und wurde anschließend verwirklicht.
Die drei ca. 7 m hohen, auf einer großen runden Plattform stehenden Monolithen aus Elbsandstein sollen - wie Stalagmiten - die natürlich wirkende Schwerkraft darstellen. Ihre Verbindung mit einer trichterförmigen Stahlgeflechtkonstruktion symbolisiert die gekrümmten Lotlinien und Niveauflächen.

Berlin's Main High Point, Britzer Garten
The Berlin branch of the German Association for Surveying called for design proposals for the new main high point. Björn-Gunnar Schmidt's proposal, "Plumb on Tripod," won first prize and was subsequently implemented.
The three approximately 7-meter-high Elbe Sandstone monoliths, standing on a large, round platform, are intended to represent the natural force of gravity—like stalagmites. Their connection with a funnel-shaped steel mesh structure symbolizes the curved plumb lines and level surfaces.
There are a few bridges in Lithia Park. This one is perhaps the second best bridge in the park. I knew I wanted to get a long slow reflection, that meant waiting for the river to be dark and the trees behind to be in the light. That formula worked. All that was left was to put the tripod in the water (probably half of my shots find the poor tripod in the water) and then a series of slow images.
Let me know what you think.

Magical Sunset.
A long exposure using a 10 stop filter to slow down time, provides a lovely cotton wool like texture of the sea.

Yesterday afternoon my new tripod (which, by the way, is the same model as my old one) arrived and I made the spontaneous decision to do a little test run.
However, since it was already too late to climb any mountain before sunset, I drove to the vineyards in Radebeul (I've wanted to take photos there for a long time anyway).
In the end I ended up here, at Jabob's tower (or also called Jacob's stone).
The owner of this vineyard, Jacob Krause (master court cooper and council sealer), had this baroque pavilion built in 1742.
It served as a tool shed, a winemaker's accommodation and later as a pleasure house (although I wonder what people imagined it to be like back then).
On the domed roof there is a sculpture of Bachus, also called Dionysus (god of wine, intoxication, madness and ecstasy - which could almost explain the question mentioned above).
However, my research has shown that this was apparently not entirely the case. At least the interior furnishings found when it was sold after his death did not suggest lavish parties.
Although the sun was blocked by a band of clouds, I really like the result. And the tripod did an excellent job too. So the trip was a complete success.
Gestern Nachmittag ist mein neues Stativ (was übrigens das gleiche Modell wie mein altes ist) bei mir angekommen und ich habe die spontane Entscheidung getroffen, einen kleinen Testlauf zu veranstalten.
Da es jedoch schon zu spät war um noch vor Sonnenuntergang auf irgend einen Berg zu klettern, bin ich nach Radebeul in die Weinberge gefahren (dort wollte ich sowieso schon lange mal Fotos machen).
Am Ende landete ich hier, am Jabobsturm (oder auch Jacobstein genannt).
Der Eigentümer dieses Weinberges, Jacob Krause (Hofböttchermeister und Ratseichmeister), liess diesen barocken Pavillion 1742 erbauen.
Er diente als Gerätehaus, Winzerunterkunft und später als Lusthäuschen (Allerdings frage ich mich, was man sich damals darunter wohl vorgestellt hat).
Auf dem Kuppeldach steht eine Skulptur des Bachus, auch Dionysos genannt (Gott des Weines, des Rausches, des Wahnsinns und der Ekstase - was ja schon fast die Erklärung der zuvor genannten Frage beinhalten könnte).
Meine Recherchen haben jedoch ergeben, dass dem angeblich nicht ganz so war. Zumindest liess die Inneneinrichtung, die beim Verkauf nach seinem Tode vorgefunden wurde, nicht auf ausschweifende Parties schließen.
Obwohl die Sonne von einem Wolkenband behindert wurde gefällt mir das Ergebnis sehr. Und das Stativ hat auch hervorragende Arbeit geleistet. Somit war der Ausflug ein voller Erfolg.

The Ribblehead Viaduct or Batty Moss Viaduct carries the Settle-Carlisle Railway across Batty Moss in the valley of the River Ribble at Ribblehead, in North Yorkshire, England. The viaduct, built by the Midland Railway, is 28 miles (45 km) north-west of Skipton and 26 miles (42 km) south-east of Kendal. It is a Grade II* listed structure.
The GCam on my Xiaomi Mi Note 10 in astrophotography mode took 2 minutes to capture light to produce this 27MP (from 108MP by pinning four pixel to one) stacked RAW/DNG that was later processed in Lightroom
Shame on the built in JPEG engines in most camera apps that can not get everything out of the hardware of devices and produce such artificially looking images
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
