When I need to test a few lenses, I just ask.
Frida, look in camera.
Easy
Leo, could you help?
Of course he can
And here we are.
Everything with Konica Hexanon ancient lenses
I was chatting with my bookseller yesterday morning, and she mentioned her shop is quite old - and there are parts of the ceiling showing a 15th century fresco, under later paint.
So here you are
She says hi
Thank you all, your prospective helped quite a lot.
Then I went back to my past pictures, run some statistics, and after consulting my feline expert, I decided to bring all with me and play - Iāll satisfy GAS by getting another tripod and memory, and bring also the 23mm f/1.4 manual.
Ultra wide...
As it was in the past, it's about time: in two weeks I'm heading into Mangystau first and then I'll reach Uzbekistan by train.
Mangystau is a striped desert and Uzbekistan is full of ancient cities , so it's going to be quite a visual treat.
I was thinking of bringing this kit
X-E4 with 16mm...
Let's say we are at home, after an evening watching Oppenheimer and chatting away into the night, feeding the cats, and meeting for an early light lunch - all this before venturing Outside, fetching pastries and a plant, and heading East to celebrate B&F in their new home
The usual suspects...
Thank you for the reasoned approach. The wedding should be in a medieval church uphill, so available darkness it might be according to season (September or May should be well lit outside enough to help inside)
Maybe flash but it would be new to me, something to learn. Iāll look into led panels...
(moved from here, where you can find the fullsize images)
I am in that curious situation where I managed to give in to lust one year ago, at the painful cost of ten year of accumulated gear in the lovely micro 4/3 - I wanted sensor, I wanted available light, and for my sins I got my wishes in...
Little Fiona having a birthday party, and we are invited. Of course.
The Gift
After a little while spent eating and drinking we spend the rest of the night debating. More or less.
And thatās what fifteen years always in front of a camera does to you - it becomes just...
Me too: once,
Twice!
Then a moment devoting myself to art
Heading into a seedier corner, and it shows . You know who they are
And I move to a safe place
Then, out and heading home, meeting a happy accident
Two minutes there and then on the tram
Thatās all!
A short while ago I had a playful morning, dropping the sigma 56mm attached to my x-e4in my bag and nothing else, decided to ignore architecture and to devote to the strong characters of vibrant, deep, real urban life.
Or else.
But first a man has to eat.
And what are we without a glass of...
Iām not a nature guy, but others are - and here I am walking uphill in the middle of it, although a manicured version of it: the Burcina natural reserve, courtesy of the Piacenza cashmere overlords..
I decided to add courage to courage and got out with the cute TTartisan 23mm f/1,4 to see if I...
So it happens that I hear from my niece, and we agree to a meeting somewhere distant enough, so that we can share a walk, a little art, gorgeous food, and gossip aplenty.
Milan fits the bill, and after sometime on the train there we are - and we head to the Bosch exhibit.
Not only paintings...
Actually it's Pistoia, I forgot to mention it as that's what I think of when I say nearer to the west. Getting to Siena involves a car trip bordering Florence and then heading south - more a day outing than a late morning stroll - and it's a place I really love to see
Here it is on the day Italy...
You know, it seems I am at it again - as I write this, the forum suggests me three threads from 2011-2013 from yours truly.
After a much needed sleep I woke up surrounded by the Feline Elements, noticed it was too late for a stroll in Florence and decided to play nearer to the west.
You know...
As you might remember we all witnessed the Second Coming of the X-E4, manifesting itself from the delights of the refurbished website of That Larger Congolomerate.
This event, complemented by the celebrated arrival of a used 15-45, implied that the Little Berlin Trip was to be a shared affair -...
In my case the model is trained via dreambooth
You can do it the hard way on your (or rented) hardware, but there are services you can use to train a model in your pictures on the cheap.
astria.ai was quite good and gave downloadable models like the ones you can build yourself - so you can...
A black X-E4. Again.
So now there are two in the house.
And the little 15-45 zoom, this morning.
Oh, and a patona protect battery, this evening!
I donāt have a problem. I can stop whenever I wonāt.
And on Friday we all get on the plane and head north to Berlin
So late, but here I am after finding me away with spare network, and realizing I forgot while making arrangements for the flight.
My favorite is @MiguelATF whom I hope will do better than me in choosing a challenge!
Thank you everyone.
I almost almost almost was buying the GRIIIx - it had my most loved focus length, compact, cute, and with a lovely community on the web.
Went most of the road there, read everything, joined here and there.
And then nobody who sold them wanted my micro4/3 gear to ease the pain - so I went over...
