Your R System Images - September 2024

[PKM-UK]

We hope you enjoy creating memorable images this month!

Have fun, but stay safe and well…

——

Any R System images (stills or movies) can be posted. If you would like to say something about the subject, settings, or processing, that will be very welcome.

Remember, you don't have to only post things you took this month - sometimes people don't get around to processing/ editing images straight away. (Think of it more as an ‘images I’d like to post here this month’ thing). Images taken with non-R System lenses are also very welcome as this adds to the interest.

Images posted on this thread will also be available to view in the dedicated Monthly R System Images Gallery, which can be found Here.

Commenting on people’s posts is encouraged, as it keeps everyone interested and coming back. (Please aim to be considerate, thoughtful and constructive).

We aim to provide feedback - but note we are away for part of each month and busy with ‘life stuff’. The lack of a comment from us is not a sign of disfavour!

Finally, please post in accordance with the RF Shooters Community Guidelines.

Thank you!

Images from our recent visit to Beamish Museum, Stanley, County Durham, England.

(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PL Elite/ ViewPoint/ Nik Collection, Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels and Topaz Labs Studio 2. Compilations are a mix of R7 - Karen and R5 - Phil. Images featuring Beamish staff and volunteers were taken with their full permission and co-operation).

We can only give you a taste of this huge site, but you can find out more about Beamish Museum - the living Museum of the North - by Clicking Here.
