Burano

instantly recognizable, even without reading the caption. i really enjoyed that place, but it's been over 20 years since i was there.

I saw some of Patrizia Zelano’s “Acqua Alta a Venezia 2019” series earlier today. Very painterly and stunning irl. Some background here.

Thought it might be worth sharing, prompted in part by @Jett129’s recent trip to La Serenissima.

@JDelage Really cool shots. Any insights into the settings you were experimenting with would be appreciated as I’m heading to Venice tomorrow.

Sorry, I missed that as I was traveling. I have a bunch of pics to review from our 5 days in Val Gardena, in the Dolomites. I've been using the recipes from Reggie Ballesteros, whose content on Youtube I found very useful. This is is B&W recipe. I found it super useful both in cities and the mountains, and I think it'd work well indoors too. This is other recipe, and is a color one. It works well indoors and for street photo, but I didn't like the colors in the mountain, esp. the skies.

Some more B&W from Venice.

Selective Color meets Reflection photography. The boat was really that color.

Adobe LR/ LR CC, PS alternatives?

didn't realise adobe was increasing their prices by 2x. need something where I can edit raw and create some presets...

[Jett129]

@louisbosco I have been using DXO for quite some time. Do a 30 day trial and see if you like it. www.dxo.com

[louisbosco]

@Jett129 nice!! have you heard of on1 raw as well?

[Jett129]

@louisbosco I have not.

Anybody else hyped for the recently announced RICO GR IV mono?

[Marc2706]

@Indigo-Alchemist yes , I saw the reports too. For sure it is a very interesting camera, especially for street photography. Since 2014 I have the Leica M9 Monochrom and it is still a joy to use when you are in the mood for only b/w. These niche cameras are pretty cool but I think as your only camera you are a bit limited.
Here a photo with the Monochrom

[Indigo Alchemist]

@Marc2706 , I have an M10 as my go-to camera but have always been curious about the dynamic range of a pure mono sensor but did not wanted to spend the money on a Leica for pure mono that’s where I see the GR mono as a perfectly priced tool.

[Marc2706]

@Indigo-Alchemist congrats to. The M10. To me it is the most beautiful and reliable Leica M camera. Also the used Monochrome cameras like the M 240 are still expensive. Did you know that there is also a monochrome cameras like the from Pentax? But it is ugly in comparison to the GR
