Morning haar was leaving the dandelion clocks covered in dew the other day. Probably should have bumped up the ISO so I could have a faster shutter and tighter aperture.

Are there pancake lenses for the A7C? While in Japan I saw a lot of older japanese guys with some camera which I couldn't identify, it looked like some digital remake of some older camera, but what struck me was that they all had this pancake lens which made the whole package very thin and small.

My A7C is also very compact already but the 35mm 1.8 lens is, while very compact, by far not flat, so I can't put it in my pocket for example.

It doesn't need to be very fast, because I will use it mostly outside in good light.

We're getting rid of this shed soon because it was crap when we moved in and could probably come apart next time we have a storm. For now it has "character."

Refreshing day trying to capture things that I find pretty. Not worried about shooting an awesome photo, just focused on capturing something I find beautiful and pleasant to look at.

A chance encounter with a one of a kind corvid. It seriously felt like I was looking at a mythic being.

Not really a beach this time, just volcanic rocks that form natural pools. I tried to work in the feedback I got on the last post and took a lot of time with trying out compositions on this one. Still didn't figure out the topic of a good subject though

Linux photogs, help me out. What does your workflow look like? What apps do you use?

I've found that digikam is really good for managing my keywords and metadata, and organising photos post shoot, but the image editing is limited.

And using separate image editing software leads to problems, because my camera's raw files (.cr3) aren't very well supported.

I can make it work, by using Lightroom online, but it's not exactly an integrated system due to its cloud based design.

I've tried running Lightroom in a VM, but ran in to trouble giving the VM access to my GPU...

So those who have made it work, what does it look like for you?

I like the clear separation of fields the image allows, with the water, wet stones, dry stones, orange vulcanic sand and finally the green fields. The center piece of the image is made up by my wife in a cyan colored shirt sitting on a white towel. However to get the shot of the color lines right I had to go up quite a bit, which makes her so tiny in the image that she does not really have any influence on the watcher anymore...

A lovely long-lasting 22° halo around the Sun due to ice in cirrus high in the sky over Wassenaar today, nicely set off by some passing low clouds 🙂👍

F/5.6 75.0mm 1/320s ISO-200

Here's a photo I took recently, and I'm just curious if anyone has any feedback on what they like about it or what they think would improve it. No editing other than some compression to lower the file size below my instance limit.

If I were to go back to it again I would probably try to use the stem of the flower to split the background between the bush and sky. Other than that I'm not sure, I'm still trying to learn!
