Tripods & Ballheads

My old, lightweight Manfrotto tripod is over 30 years old and has always served me well. It was there in Africa, accompanied me to Scandinavia and the south of Europe. It was almost like a good buddy. But for the new cameras it is simply too small and not stable enough. So a new one was needed. 😀 - The first photos with it turned out only little different than with the old one 😆. But handling it is more fun!

Conjunto palaciego de La Alhambra.
Dos horas esperando en el Mirador de San Nicolás, en el Albaycín, siempre a tope, y, para lo que quería hacer, necesitaba un hueco para colocar el trípode; al final, una pareja de alemanes que tenían también un trípode instalado me hicieron sitio entrelazando un poco las patas de estos monstruitos de tres pies… Y a esperar: El anochecer, el encendido de las luces (con un ooooh! Generalizado entre los asistentes), que se alcanzara el máximo rendimiento lumínico y a darle al botoncico.
Ocho fotos forman esta panorámica. Falta el Generalife, que queda a desmano. Entre medio sólo hay bosque y al programa que permite unir las fotos se hubiera vuelto un poco loco buscando elementos comunes para unirlas bien, pero que conste que también lo cacé.
Como aporte musical, creo que va bien este tema que Luis Delgado compuso para una serie de TVE sobre el mundo árabe (Alquibla).
Hard to image that using a tripod to take a photo of this fountain would be a problem, but yes it was... I was told I could not use it by a security gaurd because it was on private property. Oh well... I just walked out into the street (no traffic whatsoever) and took the photo from there!
¿Cuándo se creó Donostia?
La Villa de San Sebastián fue fundada hacia 1180 por Sancho el Sabio, rey de Navarra, y recibió el título 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...

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
I choose this picture as the best in my gallery of 2016.
It was very difficult to take it, considering that I was all alone with a little tripod and a smartphone.
After a lot of attempts, I'm very happy with te result.
