I think this one is wonky, may just be lens distortion as the boot cleaner seems to be not straight.

Sorry working late! No im not from Geordie land. I did live there for two years though.
Mind you I'm not sure of the dad and Newcastle link though.
Papa is a Geordie lad I think..... Born in Worcester at the Royal Signals army hospital, moved to Scarborough with my mam and dad (army posting) then on to Newcastle when I was almost 4.... lived there until I was 25, moved to Nottingham for work, lived there for 6 months (bought a house), went out to New York for a year, came home, went to Dublin for almost 4 years, sold Nottingham house, moved to glasgow half way through my Dublin Project (I used to fly to dublin on a monday, stay in the same hotel everyweek, come home for weekends). Owned a house in Glasgow since 2001... almost ready to call it home now...
Another few years and I suppose I cant class myself as a Geordie any more... Once I have lived in Glasgow longer than Newcastle does that make me a Weegie? answers on a postcard please!

lol.. yeah sorry... I have a habit of over elaborating...
They were too awesome...had to have them detuned.
No, they both had the dreaded sensor rot issue. Been away since early March back tomorrow. Can't wait... I have a half hour slot tomorrow where I wont be in. Bet they arrive then!
Sensor rot? What the hell is that?They were too awesome...had to have them detuned.

The adhesive between the IR filter and from sensor glass degrades/rots and begins to seperate giving what looks like really bad dirt on the sensor. Only happens on the CCD models and Leica replace the sensor for free
A bit of a test of high ISO usage with a handheld photo taken in quite low light conditions. ISO 12,800 was what the camera climbed to for this picture of a Zinnia flower, considering that, the background noise is not too bad really.

That's really quite good performance isn't it. What have you done to it ? How did you approach noise reduction?
It is good performance really. The old 6D is no slouch for the money. This image was treated in Lightroom only using its built in noise reduction and sharpening tools, I didn't send the image off to a noise reduction plug-in of any sort.
I recall when my old 60D would give me more noise at ISO 800!
The 6D is actually quite good in low light. iso 12800 is usable without too much hassle.
I was impressed when I bought mine some months ago.
this is at 25600

Squadron Leader Mahinder Singh Pujji DFC by Hugh Russell, on Flickr
Mahinder Singh Pujji, was a Royal Air Force pilot and an Indian Air Force officer during the Second World War. He served with RAF Squadron 43 and 258 in Britain between 1940-1.
Mahinder Singh Pujji first arrived in the UK in August 1940, responding to an advertisement in Indian newspapers to join the RAF. He was seconded to RAF depot Uxbridge on 8 October 1940, until he completed his military flying training. He was awarded his RAF Wings on 16 April 1941. He joined RAF Squadron 43, before transferring to Squadron 258 at Kenley (South of London), flying Hurricanes in sorties over the English Channel. He was part of a group of twenty four Indian RAF pilots who were selected to train in England. Of the twenty four, eighteen successfully passed their training course. Six, Pujji among them, became fighter pilots, the rest bomber pilots. He asked for permission to fly with his turban, a request which his RAF superiors granted, designing a special cap that would fit over his turban so that he could still use his headphones and oxygen mask. While in London, he was a member of the India League.
He was stationed subsequently with the RAF in North Africa in September 1941 before being transferred to the Indian Air Force, flying in operations in the North West Frontier Province between 1942-3. In December 1943 he was posted to No. 6 Squadron on the Arakan Coast in the Burma theatre, where he flew tactical reconnaissance missions. In 1944, he transferred from No. 6 Squadron to No. 4 Squadron. He was a squadron leader with the Indian Air Force in Burma 1944-5, making him one of the few Indian pilots to have served in all three theatres of war. For his outstanding leadership and courage, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
He settled in Gravesend, Kent in the 1970s, and died in 2010 aged 92.
Cheers

Rock on the shore.
Originally in color, it just didn't have the contrast and highlights right. Converted to monochrome and enhanced a bit.

No real story here other than I was playing with a deliberate sun burst. Like marmite aren't they?

I took this on a morning walk after a "spring" snow storm here in western Montana about a week ago. The mountains in the background were obscured by low hanging clouds.
Took this today in IR. Posted something similar before with a standard camera. The world is getting crazy enough that I'm feeling compelled to shoot more in IR. Real "alt-reality".
