Pretty Light & Comp!From the back porch:

Pretty Amazing Light & Comp!Mimi and I went this afternoon to visit a friend who's in the hospital (more about that later), when we came out, we were greeted by this:
M8, 90 Elmarit (four shots handheld, stitched in PS5):
Prayers sent Lloyd...Our dear, dear friend Stephanie. We've known Steph and her family for many years. She and her husband are also avid triathletes, and she competes in Mimi's age group. On December 27th, she underwent a surgical procedure, and was to have a one-night stay in the hospital. Didn't quite go as planned, unfortunately! She's now had three surgeries, has been on a liquid diet, and can now eat an occasional soda cracker or some chicken broth. She was released a couple of days ago, but is now back again with blood clots in her lungs. She's down to nearly 90 pounds (from her usual 115), is very weak. Her husband has been there night and day, sleeping in her room. It's been a nightmare, but she's been a trooper.

Lloyd... truly hoping the best for your friend. Very nice impromptu portrait and a heckofa view from your back porch. I'll take a shot off mine for you to enjoy And thanks so much for the compliment. I've shot it every day that I've had it, and I know there's lots to learn. Need to work on better PP work as well. Any Aperture people out there have any tricks to share?
Great work all around here!
Many thanks to you all. :thumbup:
Thank you Bill. Much appreciated.Lloyd, I do hope your friend recovers fully,
Bill
I agree, very nice.Like the angle,rows & overall perspective Mike!
Joe, very nice shot! Love the colours and punch to this shot!Great shots everyone!
Jim, really nice series. Love the rendering to your shots!!Did a workshop at a pottery factory near Sacramento (Gladding McBean).. opened in 1875, and still operating today.
It's amazing in this day, for a company to open their doors to 25 photographers for a weekend.. giving them complete, unrestricted access to every acre of the facility with cameras, with no employees there... Huge firing kilns (they make sewer pipe there) the 40 feet in diameter (and firing while we were there).. massive extruders to push the clay to make pipe.
I shot most of it with the M9 (some Aptus shots too)... Jack shot almost entirely with his Phase back.. so there should be additional shots coming in the MF thread as well.
this is just an interesting comparison between the older 35mm Preasph lux, shot wide open, and stopped down a bit (all files unsharpened)
Lloyd, very nice shot! Love the lighting in this shot!!From the back porch:

Ceh: A barb wire crucifix. Are the letters a translation of INRI? Excellent framing and subject isolation! The mind really extends the photo. :thumbup:..................................
Daniel: Colorado's high on my list of places to actually see, also (my visit was too short and localized)....
Matt, Colorado is high on my list of 'must see' places.
Here's a candid of my 21 year old girlfriend 50mm CV Color Skopar @f/2.5
Ceh: Great relationship between the dark foreground and sky and the building lights. The barely visible, silhouetted, people in the mid-lower left add scale and perspective lines leading to the guy in the arcade. Cool! :salute:.......................................
