Actually that is astonishingly good!
Shows what a MF 80mm can do!
awesomnessNew lens & new adventures :thumbup:
Leica S2 + SMC Pentax-M* 67 300mm F4 ED [IF] @ f/4
I agree - but I guess that is what the customers want.Actually it shows a wee bit too much smoothing.
Well Mal, in my book you do everything right.Well here is my latest image. IQ180, 55mm SK LS lens.
I may be stretching the friendship with this hybrid image.
Before anyone asks I will briefly describe the process.
I sat down in this fantastic location and did the charcoal drawing you see that overlays this photograph. The drawing was done first, then the photograph was taken.
I photographed the drawing and laid the drawing over the photograph in Photoshop.
Then I distorted the photograph so the camera saw what I saw.
So when does a photograph stop being a photograph?
The title of this image - "The Erosion of Memory"
Thanks for taking the time to look at my work.

Thanks Ray.Well Mal, in my book you do everything right.
I for my self do not call my self a photographer.
The camera is only one of my tools when I build a picture.
So I think the question is if you see your finished result as a image, picture or a photography?
I do not know of any other community of artist that are so obsessed with their tools as the photographic community.
I have my artistic roots with my painter friends and crafts people. Extremely few there care about how you produce the pice of art, most only care about how the result feels.
I sometime think that the less someone in the photographic community actually has a creative perspective/vision on their work, the more obsessed they become about gears and especially what others do with gear.
We have had some Swedish authors that, when the computers become more common,
actually claimed that reals authors wrote manually with a pen or possible on a typewriter, preferable an old Halda.
I write books and fore me such opinions just shows an infantile stupidity.
Content, content, content...
Rant OFF.

This is art. I love it.

My husband showed me your image and I just had to write you and tell you how much I love it. I draw (with pencil in "greyscale") but am primarily a potter. I find myself studying your work as if I am reading the lines...in an intellectual way...rather than responding emotionally to it. It is truly fascinating and I encourage you to do more. Don't worry if you have crossed into "mixed media." Your art inspires me...perhaps it will influence the design of my next pot!

I have a habit of tripping over in the late afternoon - no it is not the "sundowner" or 2 that I consume, but the glory of the afternoon sky.
