Thanks John,

Because of the ext tube, I needed to get enough light in to expose the segment correctly particularly to also maximise the DOF with the small aperture used.

Post processing was less than 5 mins, a small levels adjustment to ensure the bg was constantly black and a few dust spots to remove that the flash picked up on the tiles.

Close up of a Clementine segment.

The segment is sat on a black tile with another at the back as a vertical background

Or change the save format to DNG, imho there is no difference, the file sizes are with a kb or 2 of each other so exactly the same size, use your existing Elements software and save yourself £80 or so.

I mentioned earlier in the thread, this is what I've been doing for years, I then convert to Tiff which is like DNG a universal format and then delete the DNG file

Superb detail, well shot

Agree with the comments as above, March and June stand out for me,

March for the timing as well as the lines and shadow

June again for the timing plus the colours and the lead in lines of the balustrade

Hi David,

Its likely the K1ii PEF files are younger than your software and therefore not compatible, the best option IMO would be to shoot in DNG and then convert to Tiff . This is the route I follow.

An interesting day spent earlier this week at WWT Slimbridge, quite overcast most of the day, then the sun came out for a coupe of hours, spent a while after BIF's
