Thank you Trevor I have had a print done of the mono file I was amazed in the difference between the two files which is why I posted both.
Thank you for your comment :)(y)

Lockdown inspired catch-up of editing this morning. A real backlog of raw files to trawl through. Most will likely end up in the bin :D but I found this one - a piccie from Barmouth beach a couple of months back.

Very nice landscape style Fujigraph, well composed with some nice light and a good sky and nicely presented in mono.

Here are a couple from our daily exercise and dog walk for the day ...

Cheers. It was a bit of a detour after doing the nearby Precipice Walk. I’ve always struggled with photography at Barmouth, I don’t know why tbh as it’s a nice place. Got lucky with the clouds this time though - just had to run around the beach and quickly find a puddle for the reflection. :)

Not forgotten or bailed on the challenge yet! Just been well side-tracked by researching desktops and laptops [things have moved on so fast since I last bought one!]

This can slot into both texture and light/Dark really, a dying Ivy leaf still hanging in on the vine - back lit by the sun - pumped in LR obviously

They’re crackers. If you don’t mind me asking what lens/tube combination did you use? I’ve had a set of tubes for a couple of months but lost patience with them trying to get acceptable results :)

I got the JJC ones off Amazon - wasn't meant to arrive until 1st May, but arrived today :woot: These are autofocus which although said it was, I didn't really expect too much, so really pleased.

Mine arrived today too. What lens did you use on those, and what size tube? Thanks.

I used both the 11+16 tubes together with the 16-80, handheld in the garden. But tomorrow will try with tripod and use the 55-200 and see what happens. I used it at F8, but will also need to play with that too - any suggestions for the aperture to use? I see Thomas Heaton used F4, but that was on this full frame Canon, so assuming this makes a difference.
Looking forward to hearing how what you think of them.

Thanks for that, I will try it with a number of my lenses, having looked at the Fuji table it looks like the 18-55 if you have it gets good magnification. I'll try a few when I get a chance. I've seen some very good results with the 35 1.4 too.

You’ll get the best results from using the 55-200mm with tubes at around the 100mm zoom length. If your 55-200mm performs the same as mine then without a doubt the sharpest aperture is around the F5.6 mark.

George.
