Two More Test Pictures (Maintenance Going On Here at TOP World HQ)

Still testing! Pardon me. This is the picture I was going to post on Halloween, now a few days tardy. I thought this was pretty clever. And there's a nice touch—look inside the back window of the car! Got the expression right.

This is the prettiest tree in the neighborhood in the fall. The leaves are brilliant scarlet in the sun. Here the sun is illuminating the leaves still on the tree, but not the leaves already on the ground. Alas, the iPhone did not quite have the guts, the vim, the chops to record this delicate scene as it deserved! It clearly requires 40 megapixels and a camera with a vertically tilting viewing screen! Er, no, wait, why did my brain force me to type that?

Sorry if you can't see these properly. I'm just trying to see what works as an upload and what doesn't, so I can tell Typepad.

I know, that's what the masses dig and what sells and so on.... Still, I'm not even 50 yet and feel like a grumpy old man!"

LOL - I didn’t know dogs had bones in their ears.
I’ll get my coat.

Looks OK to me. If you hadn't pointed out what you perceived as a flaw, I never would have noticed. But It's still a wonderful shot...

With best regards.

On an Intel iPad Pro (11”) running IOS 15.7.1, the top image is displaying fully in the article and when clicked. The bottom one is still truncated on the right in the article but displays fully when clicked.

A slight bit of purple fringing on some of the bare branches, but not too bad, even when enlarged. (I could easily tell if there was too much magenta in the prints I did at the camera store back in the day. The salesman who used to do the prints could easily detect cyan, so we made a good team!)

seeing both photos, the page's header, and dreaming of an X-T5 too...

All I've to say is that bicycle seat is way, way too high for the rider. Of course in their current condition I guess it matters not.

Same issue with vertical shot in IPad Air iOS 15.7.1 - zoomed and truncated in post - but shows properly when clicked…. Good luck with it!

If Fujifilm hadn’t done the unthinkable and returned to their senses with the flip screen from the X-T3, I wouldn’t be counting my pennies right now and dreaming of an X-T5!

What would have been nice is if they had implemented a “slightly larger than half-size” RAW capture feature where instead of the full 40MP file you get a 26MP file. This would allow you to use the X-T5 in tandem with a X-T3 or X-T4 and keep file sizes consistent.

It seems to me the images are oversharpened. Anyway for my taste. Is this being done w/o your doing it?

FWIW rss/atom feeds are still broken. If typepad was a bank it would have been irrecoverably dead five days ago.

Picture testing. The tree in this post and the “best Chili” picture display correctly in Safari using its Reader feature.
