(you will notice that this picture is from the same point of view that I took the photos of the roller skating boys from, which I published yesterday)

(this scene was very funny. The young woman was learning how to use the camera. It took her 15 minutes or maybe more to set up everything for the group photo Laughing )

Thanks. The lens helped Very Happy
a couple of 100% crops from first picture:





(do not mind the writing, it's not a 50mm lens it's the Distagon 21)

In fact I can actually say that a 100% crop from a Distagon 21 picture is like a whole picture taken with a good 180mm lens Shocked

And... the Distagon 21 thinks that "CA" is short for California...

Ohhhh, nice series. I love Italy and its scenery.
But that 21mm is something else.

The last two cropped images say .dng, do you save to .dng file
or convert RAW.cr2 file to .dng format and process/develop it?

The second shot reminds me a movie scene from
Mastronianni‘s ”La Dolche Vita".

The second Smile
I first download from card using Downloader Pro which stores my CR2s on a HD and gives proper renaming. Then I use Lightroom and choose to import from disk by making a copy of the files as DNG and storing them on a different HD.
This way I manage the files in Lightroom using the smaller DNG format and my original CR2s downloaded from card become the safety copy. Smile

Orio

They should pay you for the Distagon advertising. If I could only.... but you really are a master with that lens camera combo

I like all of these.

It´s like being there oneself, a feeling that is hard to give others.

Orio,

Consider this a legal and binding document. Since the USA does not have any comparable scenery, you are hereby restrained from enjoying any further photography of same until equality is obtained worldwide. You must immediately surrender all of your photographic hardware to the local police.

Well spoken, Greg. Wink

Excellent shots, Orio. The more I see of your area, the more I feel the urge to visit you.

OMG! Greg is a Communist American! I thought they had all been abolished by Constitutional Amendment. All I usually hear from over the pond is that the "have nots" have no right to anything, anyway, and it's their own fault if someone has something nicer than them.

Now they want to nationalise our European landscape. Well, let me tell you, Bud, we built that landscape through good, honest hard work, so if you haven't got one like it, you've only got yourselves to blame.

Next you'll be wanting to transplant London Bridge to Arizona!

Seriously, though, it's a gorgeous village and the photos are wonderful.

.....

The more I look at the picture of the girl photographer the funnier it gets. A tripod is used for a broad-daylight snap, the subjects are placed in the middle distance, so a large part of the steps, portico shadow and back wall should make it into the frame, while the magnificent architecture of the facade is carefully excluded...

Orio, this girl was in need of help... Berlusconi would never have passed her by as she bent over her camera without extending the hand of friendship to her, shouldn't you have done the same?

Yes, it was absolutely hilarious. For all the things that you point out and because of the time it took. It reminded me of those comic movies of the early XX century, you know those of Buster Keaton, Chaplin,
Laurel and Hardy... when you saw the photographers going around with the huge tripod and camera and the black fabric, and worked half an hour to set everything up, until finally a car arrived and crashed the tripod or something like that. Very Happy

Laughing Oh but that man in light blue shirt already made several walks to and from the camera to instruct the novice!
By the way in the end she set up the timer and ran into pose herself. Needless to say, she had to do it twice before they could call it a photograph. Laughing

I just have realized the incredible 3D-effect, esp. in #1 and #6. Wow!

Orio! Yes!!!

I don't know what to say -- these motifs and atmosphere are superb!! a lot of history...

I have to say this:

I know that lens Wink but looking at the pictures taken by someone else...

oh my god!! Is this a dream or reality? The answer is -- BOTH !

this lens is a mixture reality and dreaming.. and the 3D effect is incredible!!!

D21 on 21 mpx sensor -- do we need more focal lengths ?? Very Happy Very Happy
