Yes, Russ, but I liked the contrail. I have other shots without it.

in reply to: El Capitan 2017 #54902Re: El Capitan 2017Reply #2 on: May 24, 2022 at 5:48 pmThanks Paul. When I saw your version of El Capitan it reminded me of that trip. I was particularly attuned to El Capitan because my nephew was working in Yosemite as a volunteer the previous summer. He was climbing El Capitan (with ropes) with a friend when he accidentally dropped his pack, which fell 600 feet. He lost his food/water/shirt and non-climbing shoes, but decided to continue to the top. Had to hike back to the valley in his climbing shoes and got a sunburn on the way. While I have hiked and backpacked for decades, that photo is the closest I will get to climbing El Capitan.

Re: WindmillsReply #4 on: May 3, 2022 at 4:32 pmRuss, we will have to agree to disagree. I’m going to stick with the scientists.
Re: WindmillsReply #5 on: May 3, 2022 at 2:21 pmWindmills are much better than coal which has caused/contributed to many deaths due to the nasty pollutants, even if you don’t care about global warming:

in reply to: Why ETTR May Be More Important Than Ever #51315Re: Why ETTR May Be More Important Than EverReply #9 on: April 2, 2022 at 8:14 pmTesting further with A7r2 it looks like the first point where I see the zebras is actually the point where there is no over exposure. An over exposure was shown in Fastrawviewer, but Rawdigger doesn’t find the overexposure. If I decrease exposure compensation by 1/3 stop from there I have about 1/3 stop of headroom in Rawdigger before clipping. Note that I am using “Full Well Limited Camera” in the preferences setting for over exposure. I don’t know if that is the optimal setting.

in reply to: Why ETTR May Be More Important Than Ever #51289Re: Why ETTR May Be More Important Than EverReply #10 on: April 2, 2022 at 1:06 pmFor Sony mirrorless cameras the zebras are taken from the RAW data. I set Zebras to 100+ on my Sony A7R2 and compared the presence of zebras to the RAW data using Fastrawviewer/Rawdigger. The match is perfect. I photograph in Aperture mode and use exposure compensation until I see the zebras then back off 1/3 stop. For newer Sony cameras you can set the lower limit to 109+ as detailed in this video by Mark Galer (starting around 6:30 in the video):

DOF by Jonathan Sachs. There is also a Windows version on his website.
