    Good morning to everyone wherever you are in the world...
    Many thanks to Alan for setting this up. We have one more week on DPR but I thought I'd run this in parallel to bed it in and give it a test.

    I hope they will find a way to implement threaded posts, otherwise it is a pain to follow.

    Ok let's try and get started on the weekly thread here. The guys who have set this forum up so quickly are doing a brilliant job, and I think they intend to make some improvements in the future.

    Here is a couple of pictures of the river Po,a 15th century sculture I found in Viadana and the Cathedral in Modena. I have posted these[![DSC_6579.jpg] before elsewhere.

    Image captured hand held Oly OM-D E-M1, 75-300 mm lens at 300. The second image is processed with LrC and DeNoise done with ON 1. The other process with LrC and DeNoise done in LrC also is the first image.
    Comments welcome.
    P.S, unfortunately the image file got renamed when uploaded.

    I like the POV - really gives a lot of attention to the reflection, which is wonderful.

    Excellent capture!

    Hi everyone!

    I hope I got that right - first time I'm posting here and in this thread (have never seen it on the old forum). Because I was almost exclusively taking part in the 'Adapted lens talk' section, it's probably no big surprise to hear that my shots are created with manual focus lenses (enlarging-, repro- or projection lenses in particular) adapted to my bellows system, which is attached to a Canon EOS R5.

    Your second to last bullet point and fifth to last are likely contradictory. And many longtime photographers post some great images of "ducks" (refer to DPR Nature and Wildlife). If it was an attempt at humor, it was a failure. And can we not post images or buildings in France and Italy? We've see them a thousand times. ;-)

    Something very pleasing about the power of the water in this shot.
