Your R System Images - June 2026

[achadwick]

VanDyke, I really like all your pics but especially the 5th one. That is beautiful!

 

[VanDyck]

@SwampGrizz You're welcome!
More to come in time.

 

[VanDyck]

@achadwick Thank you for your kind words!
Often, the sky here is hazy or overcast, but I lucked out with a clear sky when those images were captured.

 

[VanDyck]

Look at the Art I created!

To my eyes, it is indeed a piece of art.
A really striking image.

I second that. The Courthouse shots are beautiful. Well done!

This is Tasman Bay at the top of the South Island, as seen from a friend's house on a ridge above the city of Nelson. A southerly front was blowing through, and not long after these the heavens opened. Unfortunately the pix that best captured that little drama were taken with my iPhone... ;-)

Y’all need to go look at this one…very well done!

He mentions that the Adobe Project Indigo app was used in the capture of the photo. With this post I’m asking him and anybody else that’s used the app to chime in. I’m patiently waiting for them to issue an Android version for my Pixel 9 Pro XL camera, and wanted to see what’s involved. I’ve read a few reviews, and some folks report that it takes a long time per photo to process/phone heats up, etc. They say it’s an improvement quality wise versus the overly processed images that phone cameras can give. Any first hand experience or links to other information would be appreciated. I’m retired and have some time on my hands, so I don’t have anything better to do than fool with this stuff.

That was a magic moment! Excellent capture.

Walter,
Thanks!

I'll start a thread in that forum for discussion. Don't want to be off-topic in this one!

Edit: And when I check, I find I started one last year: https://rfshooters.com/threads/adobes-project-indigo-camera-app.5348/

I'll answer there... ;-)

 

[SwampGrizz]

Thanks,
You’re right. I should have started there and should have searched. My apologies.

Hi Walter,

That's quite a sight (and saves you travelling all the way to Venice!).

All beautifully captured - thank you for sharing...

Hi Pavel,

You summed these shots up perfectly - breathtaking!

(We feel like if we get too close to the screen we could fall through and tumble into the scenery).

Thank you for sharing...

Now the monthly 'motion' is closed, here's my non-entry.

Five stacked images (courtesy of Canon's DPP). Hand held. Equipement - EF 50mm f/1.8 II + 12mm extension tube. R5 body. Each image ISO400, f/8 @ 1/500s (info picked out of the CR3 files' EXIF data).

Environemnt. Sun (obviously). There was a slight breeze. Therefore multiple imperfectly aligned images went into the 'black box' of DPP's depth compositing tool. This can primarily be seen in (a) the plant stem (b) a hint of "hoop-in-hoop" flower structure at places around the margin of the flower head (3) some species of mite which makes 3 appearance. The central 'boss' of unopened flower buds appears to be much more aligned to reality.

Does this span 'motion' (June) and 'macro/close-up' (July) ?

(If you're not having fun, what is the point?)

Hi Roy,

A fascinating image, combining focus in depth with a double-exposure style effect. The result is well worth your time and efforts.

(And we fully agree - 'having fun' is the point).

Thank you for sharing...

The Alexander Duncan Warehouse was built circa 1880. It's a former wharf warehouse backing up to the Providence River, and was used as an electric substation for 100 years. The angles accommodated a main railroad line with spurs that curved off into the warehouses. The angle was also useful on the wharf side where boats could pull in and upload cargo.

A small triangular section, built between 1899 and 1937, as seen in the photos below, was added to the front to make the north side align with the street.

Hi Walter,

A series of eye-catching architectural/ cityscape captures - the 'about to be run over by a building' qualities of #2 serve to make it our favourite!

Hi Gareth,

Both compositions are absolutely wonderful, but #1 would be going on our wall.

Great work - and thank you for sharing...

Hi David,

A fantastic capture - beautifully posed/ isolated subject bursting with fine feather detail, finished off with absolutely scintillating eye pop.

Well done all-round - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Mike,

These are all wonderful. Choosing a favourite is next to impossible (but if really pushed, it would have to be the utterly sublime #2).

Well done indeed - and thank you for sharing...

(You've also added a new venue to the list of places we'd like to visit!).

Hi Dale,

What an amazing sight. The silhouetted and stark subject reaching up into a stunning sky-scape is extremely eye-catching.

Well seen and caught - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Cemal,

Lots of interest on show here - love the colour palette and graduated slide from sharp focus into dreamy blur as the viewer sinks into the scene.

Hi Cemal,

Fine detail meets flowing lines to produce a pleasing floral composition.
