Very cool! One of these days I'm going to do a comparison thread of all of my capture options to see the possibilities- I'd been largely uninspired by the full-spectrum results in my last camera (Bayer mask, not sure if it makes a difference) but this is definitely inspiration to take a closer look and see if I can find something that resonates with me.
I was testing out the af-s 16-35mm f4g ed vr lens on my Z7 this morning. I will say it does not have any hotspot issues but the edge sharpness is pretty dreadful. I'll be moving on to the Z 14-30mm f4 lens.
Regardless, I was able to shoot this panorama at 24mm and it came out pretty good.
590nm.
Same file, two treatments. Full spectrum conversion, shot with a 550nm filter. As a side note, I think the conversion has made it easier to see the phase detect pattern when I shoot 😅 So far it's been manageable but I do notice an odd pattern showing up which is probably attributable to the PD setup.
This is processed only in Lightroom. It's a mostly a "correct" white balance (i.e. balancing on foliage) with a global Color Grading push to blue for more separation and some other adjustments. I usually like to keep my skies blue but this is growing on me.
The same file brought into Photoshop for a hue shift to get the sky blue.
I've captured some more full spectrum images to see if I can get to these colours. So far, no luck- I strongly suspect the Bayer response is different enough from the Foveon that it'll be a challenge. Still, it's inspiration to try new things!
I went walking around a nearby town photographing some of the buildings. I liked both of these shots in 590nm without the color swap because of the blue color, especially the second one where the blue signage stands out.
I've got a converted** Panasonic Lumix G1 and took a few test shots with green foliage included. I use the GIMP, RawTherapee and RawDigger. I'll have a play sometime and see what I can do ...
** the UV/IR blocker was removed but the RGB CFA was left in place.
