PESO 2020 - 273 - GDG

I usually go for long tonal scales and subdued color palettes, but I made this exposure — it just called to me for a harder-edged, more explosive rendering technique. So I remembered the Kodalith images done in the 1970s and thought, I wonder if it might work... Full Moon at Scott & El Camin

Re: PESO -- Stonington Harbor Light.

Part of the fun of the ultra wide is getting close enough to not show the buildings, or stepping back a couple feet and zooming out just a little bit more and showing everything.  Maybe I'll post one of those if I can tame the exposure extremes a bit better than I have so far. On 12/7/2020 12:

DxO Optics Pro has correction modules for various camera body and lens  combination, and the K-3/Sigma 20-30 f3.5 is one of them, but looking at the file in another viewing program doesn't reveal any more noticeable barrel distortion.  In that respect the lens may be just that good. On 12/7/20

Well I went back to Stonington on the assumption that there must be something that I wanted to photograph there with my new Sigma Ultrawide zoom.  Really the place is full of tons of old architecture from all eras from colonial to the present.  I settled on this. This is an 1820's  vintage lig

WOW! That's quite a blaze. I am familiar with the church, and I thought of you when I saws the news last night. Another tragedy for New York. I'm sorry that you have to deal with smoke and odor, but I am quite glad you are safe and well. Take care, Dan Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pe

Thanks for everyone's concerns... Bob, the smokiness is very little .. I'm just extra sensitive to it .. and it already has gone.. certainly doesn't require cleaning... (well,could use some cleaning all the time but  not because of smoke ;-) ) RIght now if I go right up to the window and sniff

Re: OT - where there's fire there is smoke :-(

I hope you get the smokiness out of your apartment quickly. Will it require cleaning? if so is there a way for you to get help with that? The facade of the church looks as if it might be rescue-able. There is a lot of ‘facadism’ going on over here where they demolish everything but the front of
