Taken from my deck yesterday using the Handheld High Resolution Mode of my OM-5 at 150mm.

This is an XPan crop.

And just in case that breaks the rules of this challenge, here’s the completely straight out of camera version without a crop:

Back at the pond… Trying more in-camera Lumix LUTs, based on various Fuji recipes.

All JPEGs, unadjusted other than the in-camera LUTs/Photo Styles.

Continuing the defocused lights binge. Figured I had the “City of Lights” right next door…

Testing the built-in panorama mode on the R7, combined with my shiny new 12mm. So this panorama is SOOC (just scaled down a bit):

Fun fact: this plaza (Place des Victoires in Paris) is circular…

SOOC camera from Sony A7s Mk1 with Pentax 50mm f1.7.

Actually WiFi’d from camera to phone, then WhatsApp-ed to family, then downloaded to my computer… hows that for a convoluted import process. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

That reminds me of that one pears package - “Grown in Argentina, packed in Thailand, sold in the US” :smile:

You don’t get much more SOOC than this, pulled straight off the floppy disc. Shot on an Mavica FD75
