The Xpan format is my favourite because of the environmental stretch - makes a difference to me to be able to see the crop in the viewfinder to compose- rather than try and manufacture something in post. The X2D unfortunately doesn't allow a B&W view of the scene- something I find missing in its current firmware offering - and (IMO) should be rectified ASAP. teh 100MP from both Hasselbald ad Fuji make for outstanding B&W 'covnersion' and (IMO) provides for enough data to make monochrome sensor - redundant. I enjoy making snaps of time and place in XPan mode - you can fit so much 'stuff in one frame...many layers..

When conditions are favourable one can take a ride in a balloon over Melbourne and these start at dawn ( when the wind is usually still) I happened to be up early ( for me) when I noticed the balloons were flying- why not try a snap?

Dating back to the early 14th Century, St. Wulfram's church in Grantham (England) has a remarkable spire for a mere parish church - rising to 282 feet (making it the six tallest church spire in the country). There are elements of the church that date back even further, with Saxon and Norman features present.

I grew up in Grantham, before moving to other parts of the country then emigrating to Australia many years ago. I'm back in town to look after my Mum (who lives alone) as she recovers from surgery. She's now well enough that I'm gearing up to go home - and I've been able to go out and take a few pictures. As a child, I spent huge amounts of time in and about this church, having gone to C of E schools immediately adjoining it, so it's wonderful to be close to it again.

From my latest visit to Death Valley. I did not bring a technical camera on this trip - only my Fuji 100 II and native lenses. I shot this area every one of the six mornings I was there and every morning was different. Weather was delightful and I was there with a full moon.

100 II, 110mm, three shot pan portrait position.

From the same viewing point as my previous post ( Manly Beacon ) this is looking directly South and an image I have taken numerous times but never with a painted sky. It was just one of those good mornings. If I had been there with my AS or Cambo I would have shot this with my 72 Digitar which is the perfect lens for this. But.... didn't have that lens with me and am still very happy with the results. Taken before sunrise.

100 II, GF 80mm @ f5.6.

Same here, Uwe seems to have figured out how to best sharpen images for sharing on the forum, but I always struggled with it too. This is why I started using Flickr to host photos that I share on the web.

Before I upload photos to Flickr I use a popular web resize and sharpening action developed by Alex Nail. I would share the link, but I just searched for it and it is returning a 404 page. Not sure if this is ok to share it, but what the heck… I have it saved here in a sync.com folder: https://ln5.sync.com/dl/04cea6b90/tz9tqnaa-hdmt5tyu-er6zkvna-wh6smk9t

It is a treat. Basically a Photoshop action that is super simple to use, with instructions for making your own sizes. I use it ALL THE TIME.

Here is a FB post about it…
Thank you 🙌
