harvest

I've been waiting for the good angle and light on this one, didn't get the light I'd have wanted but I think I'm ok with what nature provided.


I'm pretty sure the farmer is too.

I'm also still pretty happy with my Sony A7 and a humble selection of lenses which are in the main manual focus Canon FD series lenses from the 1970's

Great composition in the shot.

Can you explain the colored dithering in the dark green foreground? I get that frequently and am not knowledgeable enough in what causes it/ how to compensate.

due to being slack I allowed my personal pages (attached to my ISP) to "go away", so if I may point you at the wayback archive I believe this post explains the colour issues

if that's what you're meaning then there is no way to compensate for it with a phone because of the size of the sensor and physics is a harsh mistress.

This can be "fixed" to some extent with modern tools such as Nik Collection, but that's all done by spending time in post. There's a ton of stuff on that so I won't go into that in detail here, but short answer is if you use Nik-alike software you'll also decrease sharpening or at least select areas where its less significant that its soft (such as skies). Having more pixels than is normally needed means that afterwards a downscale & sharpen may make it look more acceptable.

I think the lighting is near perfect. What a great shot! Very fine picture indeed.

Regarding the A7, personally I think it's still a great camera for manual focus lenses. The sensor I like a lot, next only to the Nikon D810. The D810was better than any Canon camera I had ever used, including the 1-Series, in terms of personal satisfaction.
