One of my self-assigned projects is shooting Ohio’s lighthouses. I want to shoot them all with my Intrepid 4x5 camera. This shot was with the Intrepid with a Nikon 150/5.6 & HP5+ developed in HC110 (B). I like the leading lines, white on the dock and the dark shadow from a reflection of a utility pole. Interested in yall’s thoughts. This, along with the barn I also posted is one of my first 10 4x5 images. I used a sepia treatment on this shot.

I was out shooting lighthouses, but keeping my eyes open for interesting stuff while driving. This barn grabbed my attention as it was clearly losing its struggle with the tree. Shot with an Intrepid 4x5 with a Nikon 150/5.6 lens. HP5+ developed in HC110 (B). Interested in yall’s input.

You got a bunch of birds and a cougar. Which one is wildest?

It is all about the $$$ and control of images. If you can get pro quality images, or nearly so, you can dilute the club’s/player’s brand.

Some of the older tech is not always compatible with new tech. For instance, my N90s body works great with AF D glass, but put a G lens on it and it only works in S & P modes. You can’t adjust the aperture in M or A modes.

The Nikon D500, I have read, is perhaps Nikon's best DSLR crop sensor video camera, shooting 4K video.
The D500 is a great stills camera. For video, there are vastly superior tools.

Probably a fairly basic question but whenever I take a shot that includes some sky it's always over exposed. The physics seem pretty simple, either the sky is exposed correctly (and the other stuff appears under exposed) or vice versa. I can't see how you can have a happy medium.
Am I missing something? Or do you correct in post?
Thanks

I leave all my printers on all the time HOWEVER, my Canon Pixma Pro 10 turns itself off after a few minutes of inactivity.

ASA 400 Ektacrome color negative film.
Might want to process Ektachrome as color positive film (E6). Did the box say “ASA 400”? If so, what was the expiration date? You may need to tell the lab how old the film is before they process it.

All EVFs have this issue, and generally a fix. The Fuji X-T2 does the same thing, but you just have to turn off the WYSIWYG setting and you can do studio work. While I generally like my EVF, for studio work, IMHO, OVFs are the way to go.

Thanks for all the great ideas!! Some were on my list and some of them are new ones I am adding thanks to your suggestions. Should be a very productive trip !!
Agree with Myaka State Park - here are a couple of images I got there several years ago.

When you use the term "we", are you writing as a lens designer, or as a camera user?

Yes it is a processed version of the photons that acme through the lens, but at least it is of the same photons that came through, not the inverted and reinverted reflection of them!
It is inverted and flipped, just with the software. There is nothing in lens design that has changed the image as it hits the film/sensor since view camera days. The image hits the film/sensor upside down and backwards. In the past we used mirrors and prisims to reverse that, with MILCs, we use software.

#4 - kinda. Are you getting the image capture because of the lens - yes. Are you viewing through the lens - try it with the camera turned off. It is a processed capture of an image that came through the lens.

IMO it depends how quickly mirrorless is adopted by the masses. Keep in mind that Nikon launched the 500PF (F-Mount Lens) the same day they launched the mirrorless cameras. While there's no doubt mirrorless will be the platform of the future, how quickly people adopt that future will ultimately decide how long Nikon will continue to make new F-mount glass. I doubt even Nikon knows for sure.
I completely agree. Having both a Nikon D500 & Fuji X-T2, I can see how the masses will flock to mirrorless. Getting great quality images has never been easier. Putting the histogram in the EVF with outstanding jpg film simulations that can be shared almost instantly on social media will drive mirrorless to the front. Both the D500 & X-T2 can produce high quality 13x19 prints (as big as my printer goes), but the X-T2 can get there with less work, largely because of the WYSIWYG EVF.
