Thanks, Attila!.
Saturation is very good on the foveon sensor.
Unfortunately, short after this the sky opened and a big storm went down over us... No more blue sky then Wink

Regards.

Poilu, don't get disappointed when you see it by the plasticy external aspect, it's really a gem with some limitations because it's a 2004 camera... The results are great. A pity they wouldn't develop it further.
Optics are from Ricoh, very neat. I like it a lot, it comes with me wherever I go.

Regards.
Jes.

The saturation has nothing to do with the Foveon sensor, but the processing the camera (or the raw-conversion) puts into the image.

It is interesting, how when an image taken with a Foveon-based camera has some good property, it tends to be the sensor that gets the praise, not the protographer, or the camera firmware or raw-developement software or... while when a bayer-based camera is used, the sensor isn't mentioned nearly that often in the praise...

No evil meant by the above paragraph, just an observation Smile

One question: why was the storm bad? I've understood that in Spain the light tends to be awfully hard - wouldn't a storm bring softer light, interesting sky and a free shower too Smile

Anu, a bad storm here is one with lots of wild wind and water, bolts and thunders... No way of getting out with that weather.

In the garden of the apartments where I live, three trees have fallen out...
Spain is not always bright sunny... Wink

(BTW, I love your squirrel's series Smile ).


The fallen trees (with the X530, dull light after the storm).





In the next, the fallen one is not the one with the string, it's behind it. (The one with the string is also somewhat bowed...).



Regards.

Jes.

I would have loved to be out there, falling with the trees and shooting the storm! (Well, today the wind here was also very strong, likely some trees fell here too.)

I used to do that, went out to the beach (that is only 5' far walking), walk to the extreme of the breakwaters, and watch the storm from there.

One day that I was at home, a big bolt fell into the exact place where I used to go, and vaporized and threw away the rocks around...

After this, I've never been back to watch the storms outside Wink.

Regards.

Jes.
