Any better now?
:thumbup:

edit: probably some time needed to work properly with the lens characteristics, but the colors and local contrast are really interesting, with an analog touch. Interesting. Please post some more when ready!

Yes siree. That is some distortion you got there pardner. But it pulls you in.
The colors are gorgeous as is the neighborhood. The distant hills are well
distinguished.

The sky is glorious with the color as it should be. Vignetting, yes but let's see after you remove the filter.

A fine picture Lloyd. Mighty fine.

Regards.

Nop', see the headline I've used for some time now ... :angel:
:lecture: I hereby sugggest that the next time our fun thread is over quota, we name the new thread 49 Fantastic Photographers and me ;)
(P.S. Thank you, Matt, for your kind comments on my recent landscapes !)
Yes, from the same type of yellow fields. I believe the plant is called Oil Seed Rape in english ?
Here's another shot

Nikon D300 • Carl Zeiss Planar 1.4/50 ZF • 1/500 sec. at f/8 ISO 200 • Capture NX
Matt, your seagull shot with the people and the skyline in the background is priceless. Wonderfull angle, framing and perpective :thumbup:
Steen: Thanks. I'm not very observant - I didn't notice it. My eye goes straight to your photos. Beautiful plant and very useful.

Cheers, Matt

Couple of days ago, after a session for some commercial shots in the garden... we had a nice light.
Simple things... in black, and white:


D3X - ZF 50/2M
corlan: Very elegant. The gradation in the OOF and the not quite black background provide depth without distracting from the bouquet. :salute:

Another of my 'odd' steam machines... This one is a two-foot gauge NG/G16 Garratt on the Welsh Highland Railway - built in Manchester for South Africa in 1958 and repatriated in the mid-1990s. This shot was taken a couple of days ago - we've had marvellous weather here in North Wales for the past couple of weeks.
j: Great image. You have some very interesting rolling stock in Wales. I always thought that there were only two gauges of track: standard and narrow. A quick look at Wikipedia shows I was really wrong!

Ha a shoot cancel on me this morning. I guess sick kids don't want portraits done. That gave me a chance to try some lighting out with poor Miso. All shots with the D700 105DC and SB600's Multiple strobes
Some work with the snoot
Jason; :thumbs: Every cloud... Great dog photos (and no model fees). The lighting's great.
My thoughts exactly!! Love that one!!!
Jason: Thanks! :D

Sharp Right Down To The Red Spot On Hid Beak! Nice Grab Matt!
Steve: Thank you. :D That's a nice little no nonsense lens.

Cheers, Matt

D700, R 80 Lux :)
Steve: Great color, shadows, piercing look and composition! :thumbup:

Istanbul. Sirkeci. 0200hrs.
Ayesha had gone to sleep. As had almost all others in the city. I had a date.
Date with the track maintenance crew. Working now, so that others could travel safely in the morning..
I talked about myself, my family, my kids, my home. They told me about theirs.
They told me about things to photograph in the mornings.
I told them I was not much interested in the beautiful masonry.
I had come to know, hear, feel and respect the masons. They understood.
rayyan: Another wonderful image and story! Gritty, old Life Magazine PP. :thumbup::toocool:

Cheers, Matt.

Raj was generous to invite me to have lunch with his family. Raj, I said, can
I take a few photographs of your family?
Should we stand outside?, he said.
No Raj, I said. Stay where you are.
I shall come close.
Rayyan: Just as Steve and Osman have said, it is indeed always a pleasure. And the words you include always add a great deal to the images. That portrait of Raj and the girl is something very special, but the story makes it even more so.:thumbup:
rayyan: +1. Superb! Just...superb!

Cheers, Matt

Old friend rediscovered. I came across my old 25-50/f4 lens in the back of my camera storage. I haven't used it in a number of years, but it was a favorite landscape lens. Pulled it out, put in on the D3, and shot this from the front yard. Pretty much straight out of the camera, at 25mm f11. Serious distortion with the horizon in the bottom of the frame, and there is a polarizer on the lens, which gave me some ugly vignette. But I love the way this lens draws. Gonna have to give it some more work.

25-50?! Neat Perspective! The Old "Gal" Still Has "It"!:)

Where do you want them to look? asked Raj.

Let them look at you Raj. You look at them. Let both of you look at each other.
And let each of you look up to each other.

Me, I am just a traveler passing thru. Making notes of friends I made...
