Vieri, it's your images I was thinking about when I started the thread. I just couldn't remember where I saw it.....fantastic location and fantastic image. :)

Great idea Dan. I have one from a few years ago; my wife took a shot while I was setting up. I was on top of an ice mound, or "ice volcano" as they're called, on the shore of Lake Erie. I wanted an image of the flat frozen lake just as the sun set, clipping the cloud bottoms with red light. I was using a Pentax 67 and 45mm lens.

Tom, was your wife advised to take that shot by your insurance agent :) Blimey, it looks like one slip and it's all over! That sunset must look (more) amazing in print.

LOL. Maybe that's why she encouraged me to take this shot :D Not as dangerous as it may appear. You'll note that my tripod and I are nowhere near the edge and I was wearing shoeshoes with light crampons as well.
It does make a nice print; the colors got a bit funky in this jpeg conversion, at least on my laptop.

I love the idea of this thread, so in a humble attempt to keep it going, here's one from a few weeks ago. My wife took the shot of my set up with a K-5. She found it worth a laugh. The out-of-camera jpeg shows quite a DR for that sensor.
She got a good shot, I didn't - not the first time this has happened.

Tom, you seem to have a pattern. You do know you can stand on the ground to take a picture. It seems like your wife goes for the entertainment value--be careful you don't end up on youtube.

Thanks for this.

I enjoy this thread ... great idea. I've started snapping an iPhone pic sometimes when shooting because of it.

Good one Shashin. If my wife ever tells me she's starting videos, I'll keep the Youtube comment in mind.

Wow Tom, look at that leg of your tripod. Looks like its foot is on the very edge of that picnic table. Both you and your camera certainly tempt fate :)

Great thread everyone!

Great idea for a thread! :) I posted one of these in the "show your tech camera" thread, but here it is again with the final pic that came out of this setup:





and the final image:



about 40 sec exposure, with a 3-stop ND right after sunset.
Incredibly beautiful!

Here is the Architecture shot that I have posted already sometime ago - leaf Aptus II 12 R on HCam-B1 with Canon TSE 17mm . We were in the second floor of this House on the opposite side of the very narrow street in Regensburg. The Camera as seen in the making of shots was moved downwards as we wanted to catch a full panorama of the street with 180 degrees (the HCam does "only" 126 degrees with one shot) so we added another 4 shots to the left the right up and down - 5 alltogether. The one seen here is the straight middle one which was straightened with the built in Arcbody grid screen and the Arca cube.

regards

Stefan
