Yes, it seems very hard to get a definitive answer. I would be interested to know exactly what processing is applied. What I do know is that the RAW DNGs usually need a lot of work to be in a state fit for displaying. They are very soft, noisy, low saturation, contrasty, etc. So whatever processing is being done, itâs quite subtle.
A very interesting distribution of space. Feels âoffâ â but made me looking longer. Well done!

Cassowary? Nice shot
No, an ordinary mute swan.

I just found time to edit some IR experiments from this past weekend. Not sure how I feel about the compositions nor the edits yet, but I am slowly scaling the learning curve.

Trying to maximize the magic from my âschrebergartenâ. using fuji film sim, a CPL and the 16/f1.4. Hopefully, you can feel it too (assuming that saturated colors and major parts of the image being extremely out of focus are something magical).

We went to Dun Coillich, looking for badgers. We sat on a grassy heathery knoll for maybe an hour and a half. A badger did pop its head up, noticed us and disappeared again. I had put the camera away at that point (the light was going and getting very grey).
I did get a few shots of Schiehallion as the sun went down
Things to note for future walks like this:
- Take a head net, the midges were ferocious.
- Take a tick removal card, not necessary last night, but we were walking through heather and bracken
- Donât forget the walking poles, if only to check the depth of the bog
One thing I had done before we went was to readjust my backpack. I hadnât been using the waist strap, and this was putting a strain on my shoulders and neck. Using the strap to put more weight on my pelvis made a significant difference.

Our cabin is in a quite tick infested area, with tick bites being a regular phenomenon in our family. I cannot praise highly enough this tick remover sold here in Scandinavia: Tick 1, flÄttfjerner | Clas Ohlson. Works always, on both small and large ticks, and gives a larger reach when alone, as one can hold in one end, put the hole over the tick and just drag towards the pointed end. Voila!

I live in an area where 90+% of ticks carry Lyme Disease and the Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum - Wikipedia) is now found as well.
I find myself much more reticent to hike into the brush anymore

Come to SoCal and we can go into the desert. No ticks out here!

What about rattle snakes?
Yes we have those. In all my times of going to the desert, Iâve never seen one. I do see a lot of hares. Am occasional coyote.
Iâve been chased by dogs more times than Iâve seen a rattler.

We live next to a city park with a lot of wildlife, particularly rattlesnakes. Early in our tenure here, wife was having a picnic in the front yard with our then-7-year-old son. They were digging the foundation for a house in the flag lot* across the street; they were startled by sudden yelling and construction workers running up the driveway. Behind them was a backhoe, its scoop spilling over with rattlesnakes. Theyâd dug into a nestâŠ
*a parcel of real estate where the main plot is behind the houses on the street, with a long driveway to the street between two street lots. This lot was surrounded by the park. Edit: Oh a âlotâ in US real estate parlance is a plot of land destined to hold a house.
