Yep - my go-to lens for kids' soccer on the K-3 and works even better (at least my copy) on the K3iii

Ha ha! Sorry. I meant a way to enter it manually before posting the photo. But now that you mention it...someone will find a way.

OK.
I see that the LV (Light Value) is written by the camera to the exif data, might that help?

Cheers,
Terry

When I download photos from the card onto the laptop using Lightroom you can add keywords. It wouldn't be a dedicated field but that would be one way to do it. I assume Bridge and other photo apps will have a similar functionality.

So who introduced blackberries to Australia?

Cheers,
Loyd

Baron Sir Ferdinand Jacob Heinrich von Meuller, government botanist for the colony of Victoria. In 1858 he began cultivating them in the Melbourne Botanic Gardens and then (allegedly) spread them through the countryside to provide food for travellers. No doubt the Rosellas and other wildlife facilitated the spread and now they are probably the most hated plant in these parts. I trust he was knighted for deeds other than spreading noxious weeds. But well spotted - they shouldn't be here! G

Thanks! It was around 2pm but the sun is still fairly low this time of year. The area is also a little bit elevated compared to its surroundings which I think helps facilitate the effect.
The color version is pretty similar. There wasn't much color in it to begin with so I decided to go mono to eliminate that as a potential distraction from the lines which are the main event here.

Been mucking about with Image Transmitter 2 to see if it’s worth working with, so set up this scene.
This is a combination of 2 images in Photoshop, using “Auto Align Layers” and “Auto Blend Layers”, to achieve the depth of field.
Image Transmitter 2 works okay - sort of. You have to do a lot of in-camera setting up, before connecting, because of limitations it
places on you. Things like changing shutter speed and aperture can only be done with certain settings and ticking an obscure box inside IT2s
Preferences (on a Mac).
Even then it still may not play nicely.
But, it certainly helped in this scenario. Checking focus and modelling is a lot easier with IT2, rather than constantly going backwards and forwards to the camera, to remove the SD card, so well worth it in the end.
But it needs a lot of fine tuning, as discussed in the "K-3 III and Image Transmitter" thread.
I worked out the lens would way something like 1.4 Tonnes if scaled up, and with the body, over 5 Tonnes.
That’s obviously why they needed the crane!

For just a brief second, this shot fooled me (esp as regards the "workmen". But you have set this up, and executed the shot taking, exceedingly well!!!
