Along the Atlantic coast , You see them all the time but mostly made into coffee tables. It is a paddle or Door as the shrimpers call them. They are attached to the shrimp nets to direct the nets as the Shrimp Boats drag their nets. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=how+do+shrimp+boat+nets+work&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:303813c3,vid:9flI6Whzg2g

Welcome from an Oregonian. Looks like your portrait was at Smith Rock. That's about 10 miles from where I live.

I've found Baader solar film to be about the best solar filter available. I also have several glass filters but they don't yield as good a results.

Yes 👍👍👍, For the last total eclipse I went to an Astronomy store and purchased a solar filter film and cut it to fit my lens. It was a lot less expensive than a glass screw in filter.

I teach Photography at the local college. I have tried a tracker that a friend loaned me.. That didn't work out so well. It was a relative inexpensive one and couldn't hold my full frame camera and 200 mm lens. It was too heavy. So I have resorted to my fast wide angle lens. I have a good heavy tripod Gitzo for my camera. I usually use a Samyang 14mm F2.8 manual lens and my Sony a9 full frame camera. I am generally pleased with the results. Here are two types of shots....the short exposure (25-30 sec) and the long exposure (15 minutes) Iso is usually 2500 or 3000 on the short exposure and 400 on the long. If I didn't already have the 14mm Samyang and had the $$$$ I would get the new Sigma 14mm f1.4 ... Good luck. These are local Central Oregon shots

Seems that I read in the owners manual or one of the after market books on the A1 about over heating. I have not had that problem with my A1. I always cary a backup when I do a special shoot. My back up is my a9, or a6500 and some times the RX10m4.

Good shot. Glad that you ventured out of the big city to our wild country. I might venture over there again today since it rained last night.

Thank you for your kind words. I deeply appreciate the eloquence that you praised my work. As a teacher and not a photographer turned teach. I strive to be well informed and to not point fingers. Everyone can always learn something new. Many do not appreciate the research, testing of equipment, and application of procedures and principals that 6 years of intensive academic learning involve. A good teacher stays on top of the latest and greatest. You have given me a great boost in energy with your praise. Thanks you. and a thank a fellow academia gwilliams6 for his eloquent answering of UHH questions no matter how many pointed arrows we receive.
Thank You Brent Bunch

Monochrome camera has no advantage over shooting RAW and post processing. After removing color from RAW you may have small improvements in contrast
Your statement is not correct ... At least with my converted Sony a7ii vs any of my Sony cameras. Please go to the company web site https://monochromeimaging.com and read what they have to say. Shooting raw and converting to mono vs a Mono only camera is not the same, they may be close but not the same. Is Diet Coke the same as regular coke.....

First tip of the hat, good composition with the cloud just touching the peak.
This is a monochrome discussion so no comment on the color version.
The last version seems to have a slightly different framing, and the red filter is not working for me.
I do like the Color converted in Apple Photos to "mono". Nice monochrome pic.
Just an opinion from some random guy on the internet.

They were shot with two different lenses. The color-B&W was Sony 70-300G and the B&W was Minolta 24-85mm lens, So there will be a slight difference. I was not actually thinking of a test shot comparison when I did this back in 2021. As for which is better... It's a matter of taste and feel. Do you like a Pendleton wool shirt or a Woolrich wool shirt? Here is an extreme crop from the conversion a7ii you will see a bird just to the right of the mountain peak ....Note: how little the grain is....Almost like shooting in Panatomic-X

Beautiful image! Where did you get the conversion done? I wonder if they could do a conversion on a previous generation Pentax -- like a KS-2? At $1500 for the conversion, that would be a considerable savings over the new monochrome camera.
The conversion was done by Monochrome Imaging Services, Vancouver WA. 503-515-2722. https://monochromeimaging.com/odering/
They only do Sony Mirrorless but I have seen where there are other companies that convert other cameras.
