    Love those early hours in local park, light is just breaking through trees, everything is quiet and fresh.

    Plombergstein -- Beautiful. I will look it up on a map. You took a hike with wife/family -- and I also took a hike with my wife (North Cascades). Now that you have shown me how to upload images, I may post another one... or assemble a set and do it next week (similar to your approach). Your stitch is EXCELLENT. I like stitching, too. What camera/lens did you use? Detail is superb... which is the whole point of stitching, right? 😉

    Hi cpm
    welcome to the " This Week Through Your Eyes " thread :-)

    I like your your posted image of Mt. Baker it is very sharp & detailed. The snow texture is great and nicely exposed too.
    I also compress my images to about 40-50% of the original size

    The camera I used on my family trip was the Nikon Z7 with just one lens, the 24-70 /F4 lens. A lightweight and good quality set.
    The stitched pano was made from 5 hand held shots at 24mm, /F9, 1/200s, in manual mode of course and stitched them with microsoft ICE .

    yes, Plombergstein is just 24km from Salzburg.

    Thank-you Fireplace! My SOP (to keep things manageable since the originals are pretty big)... I reduce the dimensions (image size) to roughly 50% or 60% and also compress the JPG. Here goes...

    Impressive panorama with lots of interesting details to look at!

    I agree with @Woodsider79 - what a wonderful look! A truly remarkable shot with a soothing and pure atmosphere.

    I've used one of my favorite lenses again after a while - the Schneider Kreuznach M-Claron 60 mm f/5.6 (a microfilm reduction lens) and had some fun with it as always:

    Dufton Ghyll

    I've been wanting to explore this little valley for some time, having spotted it on the map near where my daughter now lives. So in a break from decorating her new house, I went to investigate. The valley was quarried in the 19th century for stone to build workers cottages in thenearby village of Dufton. The old quarry faces are now beautifully encrusted with lichens and ferns, and bathed in green light from the towering trees.

    P7218751.jpg
    Who was Dan McPhee?

    Tastefully done historic graffiti.

    I'd never heard of Dufton Ghyll and having looked it up, it turns out not to be too far from here, so I'll have to take a trip up there at some point.

    The whole gully is only about a mile long but there seem to be several paths on the south side. The quarries are at the eastern (upstream) end.There's a car park in the village.
    I've also walked up onto the main pennine escarpment from Dufton, past the old lead mines and looping around and returning via High Cup Nick - that's quite a hike. There are lots of other possibilities too.

    Thanks for that info. I took a look at that route on OSMaps, it's probably achievable with my current reduced fitness as there's not too much altitude gain involved, but it's probably on the limit of what I currently manage in terms of distance. While looking around on the 3D view I did spot Dufton Pike and that definitely looks like it's got some potential for a good day out.

    Happy new camera. Panasonic cameras are great and now that they've finally adopted phase detect AF they're even better.
    I like the last shot a lot. I wouldn't have the nerve to take a shot like that of complete strangers, so bravo on your bravado assuming that's the case.

    Thanks Steve, I love Panasonic cameras, they are reliable and good value for money. Actually, I was going to buy a Q3 but it was no available and bought this camera and another X100V. So S5 + X100V will be my street kit. Q3 would have been a better option for street photography but it was not available and Leica really p!$$₮d me off.
    Yes it was a candid shot, they were hugging and kissing. I took a few shots and liked this most because it reflects their emotions. I like this kind of shots most, showing emotions unfiltered particularly with faces and body language.

    Especially like these two.
    Your Macros are really good, Interesting, bold compositions of everyday objects.
    Bright and colourful, with sharp details where needed and lots and lots of smooth bokeh in the rest of the image :-)
    A joy to look at !

    This is a very good one, composition, colours. I must say that I would have cloned the cable as I am a bit OCD :)

    Thanks! As you can see from file name, it was processed with DXO and Nik plugins. In DXO I reduced microcontrast, from Nik I used Color Efex Pro plugin's Foliage filter to enhance greens and Glamour Glow to add dreamy look + some other minor adjustments, this is probably my 10th trial. Went with postprocessing bit overboard but once in a blue moon it's allowed :P
    Unfortunately went out without fully equipped and had only 300 mm and 7-14, should have had 12-40 or 12-100 to get better framing and composition. Oh well, maybe next time...

    Nice view. Is this shot with filter? There seems to be vignetting in corners.

    Nice night life scenes. Though 2nd and 3rd are suffering bit from camera movement, shutter speed too slow?

    I think you probably need to use the "Quote" button or mention the author of the post you're replying to like this: @Vahur

    Otherwise no one will be able to see who/what you're reffering to!
