As for the purple in the window, considering the age of the building and assuming the glass is original, you would expect a purple light as the type of glass used then had a high silica content which results in this color. If the glass were thick you would see it in the glass straight on. Almost like old glass insulators will turn purple.

You can now import photos from your iPhone to Capture 1. They’ve added HEIC support for 8-bit photos, which allows for you to import from all your Apple devices.

Personally I don’t think you can go wrong with the Peak Design tripod. Best design for size/weight and the carbon fiber has great stability. It comes with a ball head that is beautifully designed too! At least give it a look and decide for yourself if all your needs aren’t met.

I’m an architect specializing in both the regional vernacular of the desert Southwest and contemporary living as far off grid as possible without giving up comfort. I’ve enjoyed amateur photography for several years utilizing cameras and drones to capture subjects as I see them. I have been very excited about drone photography and it’s potential for landscape as well as architectural photography though the FAA has recently made legal usage virtually impossible and I like many others will continue to expand my usage with the exception being that I will now do so without any attempt at legality. Safety guidelines have already been established and of course I will keep those guidelines in consideration with all future work.
I look forward to seeing what others are doing as well as sharing my own work within this forum.
