Saw some images using an IR filter and thought to myself, “I used to have one of those”. It took me a while to find, but here are some pictures of Loch Faskally and down the river.
Do you know, I stood for ages near that signal, but no trains turned up…
@Kurt, now that we’re in the equivalent of a rap battle but with birds, I counter with another of my famous blurry bird pictures of a crow and peregrine falcon:
It’s funny, even though I have never taken bird photography seriously, and I don’t have the appropriate equipment at all, I still keep snapping them wherever I go. I never thought I’d ever be displaying them, but here we are…
So do I. I photograph everything that’s not on the count of three on the tree.
But flying birds are a challenge, especially when they are small, fast and very manoeuvrable. Birds sitting on a wire can be nice - and remind me to Leonard Cohen 
Beautiful!
I wish agx emulsion had a more streamlined editor. Currently Darktable->Tiff->uv run agx emulsion → export is very cumbersome.
Anyway very aesthetic shots! Made want to get this Pentax lens 
If agx emulation can take a file name as an argument, you could setup the dt lua script for external editors.
Agreed, although then I remember it was only a proof of concept - and think how lucky I am to get to use it all 
Thanks! The colour palette and grain from the emulation combine really well with the lens rendering I think. It is a sweet lens. Mine came to me with fungus (hence low price) I dismantled partially and cleaned and it’s been great ever since. There are still markings in the coating from the fungus, but if anything a little haze only adds to the charm. I think…
Now you can see like this all the time…
That’s incredible, although I’m still waiting for a contact lens that can just correct my vision as well as glasses. It’s 2025 and by now I thought my long-sightedness and astigmatism would not be such a pain to deal with. I’m trying some new lenses in a couple of weeks that might mean I can get monthly disposables in my prescription, but it’s been a long wait to get to this point.
I held off getting reading glasses for so long, which might explain some of my older edits…
I recently came back from London. I’ve posted a selection in the Showcase category here, but here’s another one.
Very nice. I would crop the interior out.
I did consider that, but I’m actually liking busy photos at the moment, especially for urban photography. I have been on a minimalist kick over the last few years, but I’m now starting to like lots of things going on in the scene (depending on the photo of course). For my recent trip to London, I was struck by how busy it is everywhere, and I wanted to capture that. Also, with this particular image, I liked the fact that everyone is looking away from the camera.
Very nice photo! Is it two photo’s combined? If not, how did you achieve the depth of focus in combination with the absence of motion blur in what seems to be a very dim situation?
That doll/mannequine in the top of the window display is creepy af! 
I love the way you let so much of the woman’s clothing rapidly fall off into the blacks, as it really sets off the light colored hair! Nice photo!
That one was taken with my Pixel 6, and the EXIF data says at 6.81mm at f/1.9. So, in 35mm equivalent terms, that’s approximately 24mm at about f/7. That probably explains the depth of field.
Although you are looking at the processed RAW image from the Pixel (I hardly ever use the JPEGs because they are over processed), it may well have had some computational trickery applied to reduce blur. I’m not entirely sure if RAWs from the Pixel get much in-camera processing or not.
One of my regrets about that night was not taking the X-T5 out with me, but the Pixel actually does a decent job. I’m quite happy with some of the shots it took.
Yes it is, which is what caught my eye in the first place. I believe it’s meant to be Mr Bean, but it’s a really bad likeness! The shop had an exquisite collection of touristy ticky-tacky.
As far as I know, the RAWs are actually “just” 10 or 12bit RGB pictures. Thus, there is already a lot of processing applied. But it could be different depending on the Pixel phone you use…
