Theme. Law of opposites. Analog, then Digital.

May not be exciting. It brings me joy as my tree of hope. I just love this tree. Where I live.

405x5 leonski shifting photo discussion over here. When I switched from Canon to Sony I used Canon lenses with a Metabones adapter at first, and then third party lenses like the Zeiss 18mm f/2.8 and Voigtlander 10mm f/5.6 Hyper Wide Heliar ... the wide Canons were 16-35mm f/2.8 and 8-15mm f/4 Circular Fisheye. As time went on I got the Sony 16-35 and then sold that and I sold the 10mm Voigtlander ... got the 12-24mm f/2.8 that I have now. And I now also have a Sigma 14mm f/1.4 that will be my astrophotography lens if I ever get somewhere dark and clear enough. But a lot of wide shots that you see are panoramas - nearly all HDR - and many taken hand held if it was not practical to be on a tripod ... such as in the airplane or on a ship in the Arctic or Antarctic. Laowa announced a 10mm f/2.8 rectilinear and I have a preorder in for that but it hasn't shipped yet. BTW the wide aerial shot of the Alaska range is four-wide HDR. I've moved all the photography to Smugmug, and the most recent stuff is Antarctica, Northwest Passage and Japan from last year. A lot of the panoramas were shot with vertical orientation with a 24-70 at various focal lengths, HDR, hand-held, and sometimes 4 to 6 frames wide. marclombardi.smugmug.com/

A very interesting thing happened at church. My Canon 1DX said not going to work for you today. Well, I had my Sonys with me just in case. Service was captured as planned. If you powered on the camera, 30 seconds later turns off. Found out that if I leave the battery out and turn on the camera and hold down the shutter release, it purges anything in any capacitors and so on. Reinsert the battery and wiped all settings back to factory default, and so far so good. Evaluating at this time. So far so good. Camera has latest firmware inside. This camera is no longer supported by Canon. No parts, but 3rd party evidently does. I am hoping I don't have to find out. I am enjoying the Nikon D700 and D800 also bought used. I never buy new. Yeah, I'm cheap okay? I seem to enjoy event photography the most though airplane chasing and such have an allure for me too. Might post being under a 737 not any higher than say 300 feet on final to KBNA. Fun stuff.

737 on final captured with my then Canon 1D mk.4. I was not using much mag. It was really close to start out with.
