Looking good.

Very nice! Makes me wish I was there with a big beer too.

Nice photos from India!

I have been to India a couple of times (north and south) and would love to go again. Maybe after we get through this coronavirus pandemic....

Very cool photos. That orange moon photo almost looks like a sun photo.

The Minolta 500F8 is definitely not a slow lens. :) Yes, these days with digital f8 is not as slow as it was with film. Shooting film I typically shot ASA 25, 50, 64, 100 for slide film and ASA 100, 200, and 400 with print film. Now with digital one can easily go up to high ISO and get great qualit...

Thank you. Hard to believe that it took me exactly 50 years to get there. It is rather inconvenient because it is out of the way, far away from Tokyo and other big cities, and I wanted to go in winter when there is snow. In the winter when it is cold is when the mountain monkeys like to come down to...

You have to work with it. I liked the second one. I think first one would have benefited from a bracketed shot
or even built-in HDR feature of the camera.

Yes, the second one is my favorite too!

I decided to create a photo thread of one of the places we went to finally after 50 years to see the Jigokudani Snow Monkeys:

In January 2020 during the last trip we went on before the coronavirus pandemic hit we spent 3 weeks traveling in Nagano-ken in Japan. One of the places we went was to Jigokudani to see the Snow Monkeys. It had been exactly 50 years since I had first seen them in Life magazine and I always wanted to...

Welcome back! I still try to check out this forum occasionally.

Anyone who has stayed with A Mount is probably better off sticking with it and picking up used gear. Someone here got an A7iii and adapter, it's not ideal however something is better than nothing. I wouldn't consider that model unless the price dropped significantly, or a better adapter came out, u...

Nikon seem to be struggling in the last couple of years. Perhaps they need some fresh thinking in the board room :mrgreen: They are all struggling. Maybe Canon a bit less so though. I like all my Canon cameras: 60D, 30D, 300D, G16, G15, S95, A590IS, A540, A70. Never a single problem with any of the...

Here is another of his video tutorials. I haven't watched it, but I wonder if it talks about what you want?

darktable ep 027 - The Retouch module

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWCLRYiNPn8

Version 4 of the filmic module was introduced in darktable 3.2.1. As I said, I don't use darktable, but I sort of follow it because I would love for it get to the point where I could use it with the ease that we can use programs such as Lightroom Classic, ACDSee, On1, etc. It seems that the internal...
