This sculpture was crafted by the Coexistence Collective, a community of indigenous Indian artisans spanning four tribes: Bettakurumba, Paniya, Kattunayakan, and Soliga. Each elephant was modeled after a real life elephant and made using dried Lantana Camara, an invasive weed that threatens protected areas in India.

Was over at The Arts House, the former Parliament building for Singapore, now an arts venue, for the opening of the Cartier Trinity 100 Exhibition. This is a specially curated exhibition to celebrate Cartier's Trinity. It premiered in Shanghai last week, and in Singapore this week as the second stop.

If you can, try it with the appropriate CF – when I bought it I was surprised at the strong vignetting of this lens ... the CF is a must almost on it

Tillamook Lighthouse from Ecola State Park in northern Oregon near Cannon Beach and Seaside has been standing tall since 1881. Nicknamed Terrible Tilly for all the tragedy it has been a part of going all the back to its pre-construction when a master mason surveying the location was swept out to sea. It was formally closed in 1951, but is still very much a part of the landscape today.

But make sure your dealer will take it back if you decide not to keep it. I tried the CF with my first 23 when I started shooting a tech camera with an Alpa STC, and I used it occasionally. By the time I got to my third 23 (don’t ask) on the XT, I found myself never using the CF. Whether the C1 lens profile is just better at correcting for the 23 than it once was, or I simply like the curve of the falloff, I don’t know. You may love the CF. Only way to find out is to try it.

You like it? I find it has the strongest vignetting of all HR lenses, but ofc with IQ4 and XT it should be easy enough to fix. CF just allows you to keep more consistent noise floor across the frame as the correction especially in dark corners is quite the lift

I pulled out my sweet old Voigtländer Perkeo II yesterday and loaded it up with a roll of Washi film ... orthochromatic emulsion on thin Japanese rice paper for those unfamiliar. Another adventure to enjoy.
Sadly, I noted that my Perkeo II has developed a fault: the mechanical frame counter has the red "end of roll" flag covering the frame number and it doesn't seem to want to go away. Luckily, the frame limiter and shutter cocking, shutter release, and all the shutter and such seem to be working fine, and I can peek at the film backing if I forget what frame I'm on, just look for the number. But ugh, another camera off to service in a week or three.
Happily, or maybe abashedly, there are plenty more to use while the current five out for service are being tended to, and that won't change when I send the Perkeo II out...

I don’t have a problem with the vignetting while shooting with no movements. I don’t have the CF. And the 23 has a rather small IC, and anything more than a 2mm shift either on X or Y will cause heavy vignetting. I think its ok with zero shift
Paul Spinnler

It’s not about the shift. The lens has a strong vignetting on a full frame back - that’s why there’s a CF from Rodenstock for it.

Yeah, I’m okay with the natural vignetting, and yes, it is pretty strong. I’ll often play with the light falloff slider—and you’re correct about the inconsistency of the noise floor when one doesn’t have a CF—but more often than not, I only do a modest light falloff correction, if at all. So much depends on the composition. If my subject is completely static, I’ll take the time to get several frames with the 32 and then stitch them. But if, as was the case at the Sundial Bridge above, I want the whole thing in a single shot, well, the 23 is the 23. And in that particular shot, vignetting was hardly a problem.

You’ve inspired me . I haven’t shot with my Perkeo in quite a while. Time to remediate that.I pulled out my sweet old Voigtländer Perkeo II yesterday and loaded it up with a roll of Washi film ... orthochromatic emulsion on thin Japanese rice paper for those unfamiliar. Another adventure to enjoy.

Merely clicking on 'Love' isn't enough in this case. It's necessary to tell you how much I love this image.
At one time it was a Columbarium after the Coast Guard sold it off. There are still at least three urns with ashes inside. Almost impossible to access as the Sea Lions have taken over the property

How interesting Don, thanks for sharing. It must have been quite an experience riding out a storm from inside the lighthouse.
