Fun with MF images 2025

While shooting the star trail image above at Sydney Observatory, I had expected the clear skies to last until about 3am. I took my time capturing the files required for the sky, all the time expecting that there was no rush. I finished those files at about 1.15am and suddenly, at the exact moment I stopped, clouds rolled in, well ahead of schedule. I was extremely lucky to get the star shots in. Not only that, but the clouds made interesting patterns; an image worth having as a shot in its own right.

I then decided to get creative and add a fog effect in the upper part of the image. A bit of fun really!

Just a test shot with my recently acquired SK 24XL while I was waiting my wife to take a medical examination in this interesting U-shaped building.
Colors are al little bit off/crossed on purpose, as the natural light was really flat and boring and I tried to make the image a little bit more attractive.

This is with 3mm lens rise. Overall a really sharp lens, even at the corners. The rendering of those rectilinear lenses have something to them that I like a lot.
Unfortunately, as we know, not that much shiftable. I needed a very wide angle lens at a reasonable price for some interior works. Even the 5-6mm of shift I can get out of it will help.

Then I moved further back and took another shot with the 35XL:

As a side note, I need to remember to avoid extreme ETTR when when I intend to apply the LCC, as its application tends to blow highlights like happened (almost) in these test-shots.
