Twould appear to be, at least, over sharpened - wild effect from that lens Waldemar!

 

PS: Does Kitchener still participate in the annual summer sport festival with Saginaw,MI? - I was on many a losing

volleyball and track team, back in the day.

Hi Eric,

Kitchener - Saginaw,MI have strong connection at municipal level for long time. We used to play high school sports

together between our cities and this tradition still continues. As a hokey fan I always enjoy OHL games between

Kitchener Rangers and Saginaw Spirit. Always fool arena and healthy action.

UV only spectrum picture was not sharpened. I used just default camera sharpening. Most of times using dedicated

UV lens pictures have “sharper” look then multi spectrum take. Of course post processing can mace big difference.

Waldemar - I'm glad to hear that the long-standing ties between Kitchener and Saginaw are still alive. I participated in

the so-called Can-American Games for four or five summers of my youth; every other year we travel to Canada. Your

young athletes were remarkably strong, considering they come from a community that paints it's barn roofs pink:) (Just

joking of course - thank you for sharing your images). Later in life I traveled to Southern Ontario frequently to hang out at

Rattlesnake Point, Lion's Head, Cow Crag, Harrison Rock, etc - your mosquitos are very fond of my blood. I grew to

love Ontario and I miss it today. Anyway - thanks for the update.

 

Here is my contribution - I believe that I used my Nikon 200mm f8 M for this shot, although I can't be sure because it's a

sunrise shot, and I was only half awake. If it wasn't the NIkon then the it was Rodenstock 150mm APO S - but I used a Nikon cable

Edwin, that tree is in the rear of the expansive property of the St.Ignatius Retreat House in Manhasset, Long Island, NY.

 

The tree is one of the most interesting and beautiful that i've encountered. You have to "open the curtain" to enter as it's

leaves meet the ground all the way around. All of those roots are from the one tree.

 

There are many great trees here and shots that do them justice. Nice composition in your image Edwin.
