finally the S2 70 @ f8 focussed at infinity. This is on par with the (rare) published wide distance shots of the S2 70mm stopped down. good in the center, quite weak at the edges (above all for that price).ok just to test
Yes, and here we have the problem; the light was good (Galway bay inlet, 'artist' light for some. I liked the blue-blue blue of the pots, water and sky. Like a 'color splash' to pick up the sky and bring some interest to an otherwise nice, but dull scene. In person I could SEE that. In fact, two of the guides were Irish artists with their own gallery (acrylic and pastel-I know, why not real stuff like oil! but then I am old and fussy) They were waxing philosophic about the western coast of Ireland being as good a Provence for light.Victor, you need to add IMG inside the [] brackets at the begining of the image url, then add /IMG inside brackets at the end, not url and /url as you had done. I edited your post above and changed only that and as you can see, it worked
BTW, I like the rusty old boat, but have to wonder what kind of image it would have made if framed between those two copper-blue pots. Oh, and you have a massive dust bunny upper left...
Actually, I think the focus was on the urns.finally the S2 70 @ f8 focussed at infinity. This is on par with the (rare) published wide distance shots of the S2 70mm stopped down. good in the center, quite weak at the edges (above all for that price).
With the 70mm this is not a "landscape photography" kit... IMHO.
And of course no "architecture" kit (it isn't anyway...).
Nice shot, which lens?!!!
Honestly I did not noticed the urns... the image is far too bigActually, I think the focus was on the urns.
Use this code:Well, lookee lookee
I did grab three for a pano!

Ok, why isnt it working??
ok it is, my bad (put in a { instead of a [
anyway, dont even DARE comment on sharpness or the funny tree edge-- this a quick and dirty with some fill light and some clarity (actuall seems a bit much) this is originally an over 2GB file scrunched down to a 10MB jpg Original is pretty damn good, not P65+ quality, but perrrrty good.
you want the real file, you PAY!! LOL
Maybe you should consider trekking and photography as two seperate avocations? (Or with the bad rotator cuff, give up trekking -- all that arm swinging and all :ROTFL Seriously, I do understand the difficulties of trying to blend multiple avocations into a single venue -- it is at best, challenging...No way 9 inveterate trekkers on our way into the mountains for the day!
Than you Tariq, it worked!Use this code:
For example:
hope this will help, but be sure that the link or the url of the image is working otherwise it will never show even you post a direct link as a link, try again.
You could be right. I just thought the left side (foreground) was closer so out of the DOF (1/3 front, right?)Honestly I did not noticed the urns... the image is far too big
anyway... far distance is sharp in the center while the edges go soft.
you also have the Contax... have you ever seen something like that at f8 with your 80mm?
Understood, and I think you've achieved that then with this image. You have the urns almost at a golden mean point, a contrasting red splash opposite edge, and the suggestion of an "S" curve with the boat dock and shoreline, all anchored to a decent sky and pleasant midground.ink I always had in mind the pano to frame with foregnd trees on each side (and Jack, not sure about a centered urn; could have reinforced the idea but again, rush rush rush.
Jack, I like lots going on, so I live with it. With these large images and detail my style is large, lots going on, more narrative phography than 'art'. I just don't do images from outsides stairs with shadows on walls. I like the big drama.
You welcome!Than you Tariq, it worked!
Recently came across this video interview of Camille Seaman regarding good light and thought it might be of interest.but that really isn't good light.. it's barely acceptable light... I'm not trying to be mean here... you have the opportunity and gear at your disposal.. but I don't think you've had the experience in determining what good light actually is yet. You don't have to get up early to get it.. You don't need to spend extra time post processing, don't have to bump up saturation. you just have to know what it looks like when it appears

1500-2500 are fine, i do limit my images to those for now rather than i put 4000x to 8000x and i do scrolling as well on my 30" monitor.the big images do impress, but how do you look at one when even on my 30" monitor I have to do multiple scrolls.
why not choose to limit you max size to full screen on a large monitor? or am i missing something?
Oh, and thanks no one is "quoting" the images when responding
Right-click on the image and select View Image in Firefox or View Image in New Tab in Chrome. Not sure about Safari, though. After the image comes up by itself the default view will be to fit. You can then click to blow up to 100% and back to fit again. Pretty easy really (at least on the Windows side of things).the big images do impress, but how do you look at one when even on my 30" monitor I have to do multiple scrolls.
