Fuji XT20, 16-50mm, jpg, Fuji Acros film simulation, and Nik Silver. I'm loving the low, soft sun of this time of year.

Another fine pair of images, particularly like the first one. It is a good time of year for interesting skies.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks. I've just been out at 3.30pm to 4pm, and saw a magnificent sunset. I had my XT20 with me, and took a few colour shots, but haven't looked at them yet. It was more meaningful to just experience the moment, and most camera shots of sunsets look "blazing", far from being subtle, so I'm not in a great hurry to view them.

 

[Dave Farnes]

There is something magical about watching a sunset.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Yes and something magical about these two images too Rob, honestly. Have you tried the camera with different films as they call it? There are times I remember to use three different film types including one black.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

This is the Acros simulation, I think, the best of the black and white simulations.

 

[Pete Askew]

And there it is again. That Acros simulation really makes the best of the lighting doesn't it. I often use it in Nik as well. Love those shadows.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. I sometimes wish the camera could record raw files with the Acros simulation - impossible, I know, but then you have to try to recreate it. These are just jpg originals, put through Auld Nik.

Where is this place where you captured photos?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The local park - Iverleith Park, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, Europe, The World, The Solar System, The Universe, The Cosmos, The Multi Cosmos, etc...

 

[Pete Askew]

Is that near Betelgeuse?

Speaking of which, has anyone heard from @Brian Moore recently?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

He's an Instagram guy these days. Doing some fine work with the SD version of the Sigma Quattro series.
