Hello !

That's a spectacular photo, Tsjanik.

Thank you for you comments Jorgen, Mal and Pramote. I suspect we all regard Nature as infallible in her sense of design and although this image may appear a bit garish on the screen, I can assure you that in person it was breathtaking in its beauty. A remarkable end-of-summer display - to be followed by months that consist only of shades of gray (grey for some ).

Birthday flowers, a week later. The first day the arrangement was spectacular, each ensuing day brought changes. As of this morning they were not so subtle. The edges of the flowers were browning or curling as they dried out, but up close, I found the details compelling.

Leica S2, 120 makro, studio lighting. One strip light overhead and a reflector for the foreground.

It's that time of year again here in Dubai.

Hartblei HCam, IQ180, Canon 24mm TS-E. 20 seconds, f/16

Fairly heavy crop. I need to find myself a 35mm lens that can shift for this location - the 24 is too wide

You can pick up a Nikon PC at a good price and get a Nik-Can adaptor. They do not have an auto diaphragm however, but that shouldn't be a big deal.

 

[gerald.d]

Thanks aboudd.

Any idea how big the image circle of that lens is?

And at sunset...

Once again, HCam, 24mm TS-E, IQ180. 4mm of shift.

Similar shot taken just over a year ago with the Canon 17mm TS-E on a 5D Mk II:

(lots more trees in the bottom middle-right this year. IIRC, I also applied a graduated filter in Lightroom to brighten up the bottom in the Canon shot)

Gerald, I don't know. With the really bad corner performance with this lens and now the flair washing out the detail in your new image whether you should just get a D800.

or take the vaseline off the lens.

or take the vaseline off the lens.

That's called multi-coated optics and way cheaper than a UV filter for protection...

:ROTFL:

(absolutely impossible to keep the damn moisture off the lens in that kind of humidity. I'm actually in the clouds for that shot )
