Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)

Check your ISO settings, the shot looks grainy. :ROTFL:
Hi Carlos, I think I may just be able to help you with this upgrade :thumbs:
I don't promise that these will remove the grain out of granite :scry:
but they may just help you to see the ISO 100 exif in flickr clearer :D

SEED by Peter Randall-Page (Platinum Toned)
Seed is one of the biggest sculptures in history made from a single piece of rock, Seed started life as a 167-tonne granite boulder extracted from De Lank Quarry, on the edge of Cornwall's Bodmin Moor, where Peter and his team spent more than two years painstakingly sculpting the rock.
Your pictures are delicately beautiful. I love the tones and the light. I do also appreciate that you always take great care to add caption or explanations to your pictures. Like the location or special characteristics like here. May be it is my documentary side, but I like to know where a picture has been taken and/or a bit of background ( context, history etc.)

As a side note, I would really like to know the color of this granite ! Was it near white ? Light grey ? With a little rosa or green grains ? The impression is that it should be near white..

Btw : I wasn't aware that there was granite in the UK. I thought it was a recent rock formation, mostly found in the mountains..

There is so much discussion about a rock. I was curious about the "one of the largest sculpture in history" remark, Barry. Looks very tiny to me compared to some I have seen.

The tonality work is amazing but it comes from Barry Haines. So, no surprises there. You set the standards and only you better it. :)

First of all thank you both Annna and Vivek for the very kind words, you are both too kind :) I shall reply in one post on this occasion.
I was deliberately holding back just for now where this sculpture was being shown, for the reason that I have a lot more images to show from that area, trying to add a little suspense I suppose...All would have been revealed later ;)
My comment was cribbed from the link below...
http://www.edenproject.com/visit/whats-here/seed-sculpture
The sculpture does not look that large I agree, nonetheless the "Seed" was lowered into the centre of the Eden Project Core in 2007 using the largest crane in Europe!

The natural colour of the granite is near white (without any slight coloured tints I would say other than a little natural grey in the mix), unfortunately it has a patina at the base of thousands or possibly millions of dirty hands touching it (It's very tactile)...That is why I converted it into BW with some platinum toning going on to disguise the multicolours and hopefully make it look just a little bit more attractive.
Cornwall is known for it's granite, it's honestly just about everywhere you look as Jono or any other Cornishman/woman would attest.

Some more links for those interested...

Looks like the set from "The Hunger Games" where the games took place, only smaller (in the book, the dome of the games covered several square miles).

Any way, I tried out my home-brew single-row pano rig at Tropical Park today (finally had some nice weather instead of our usual afternoon monsoon):


Tropical Park by Carlos Echenique, on Flickr

I am having some trouble finding nodal points. I have read every article and seen every video and it doesn't work for me. I have to resort to firing off sets of images and taking notes of the settings. I am very close with this set.

I had a strange experience today. I was being questioned by 3 men in a foreign language about which A7 camera I had and the 70-200G FE lens I was using. People afterwards were asking me them because of them.
