Fog today.

Its been foggy all day, although not as cold. I complained the other day that an early morning walk missed the fog, a late afternoon one was not to be missed.

Testing a Nikon Df at night – Muttrah.

@ 10.000 ISO ! f4.0

I have been testing a Nikon Df with its D4 sensor: these images were taken with the Nikkor 50mm f1.8AF G lens set @ f5.6.
All hand held at Iso 3200 apart from the water feature which was 10000 Iso (that is the correct number of zeros !) other than a little noise reduction & a small amount of sharpening, nothing else was done.
Raw NEF images converted to Tiff Adobe RGB then Jpeg s.RGB but no colour correction; the white balance was set on Auto 1.
All taken last night and never again, far more people than I like when out with my camera.

I don’t think I could do this using a film camera without many trials & tribulations.

Jebel detail.

A trip cut short by heavy rains and a met-office warning of more….
But it was not enough to stop me making a few quick images of the rain-swept Jebel with all its contours & colours. Although I needed the protection of an umbrella – not for me but the camera 🙄 & yes I carry a small one in the Land Rover: even Oman requires me to use one occasionally.
