Michiel, that's a wonderful shot. I have to ask - what was creating the light pattern on the ground?Mers-les-Bains, France I Pentax 645Z Pentax 67 55-100
This is absolutely wonderful! Try it in black and white. I think it would look stupendous!Mers-les-Bains, France I Pentax 645Z Pentax 67 55-100
Come on Bill, don't you know that all watch images must be shot precisely at 10:09??This is strictly fun! I use focus stacking for intimate landscapes but had never used it for macro work, which I rarely do. I wanted to find out how long Helicon focus took to render 93 full size TIFFS - it was about two minutes with my MacBook Pro Max. The fun part is that the watch was running and thus the blurred red of the sweep second hand. The image is much larger than the watch.
Not art, just fun. XF/IQ150/120 Macro.

Hey everyone - could I please get your opinion on something in relation to this picture? I have deliberately processed it to be dark in the whale/foreground, so give it a sleek, mysterious feel, almost as if the whale is wet. But one of my friends feels the picture would have more impact if it were slightly lighter. What do you guys think? Obviously we're going to get into different calibrations, viewing conditions, etc.!On the stretch of coastline where Cook (later to be Captain Cook) first landed in Australia, 'claiming' the land for Britain, there stands a sculpture of a whale and her calf... I felt that the stars suggest the endless ocean that's home to these wonderful animals and the endless history of this land that changed so much following that fateful day in 1770.

I think it's great the way it is. Any lighter and it would lose its impact.Hey everyone - could I please get your opinion on something in relation to this picture?

Thank you, Ed! There was a kind of light show with special lamps on the quay.Michiel, that's a wonderful shot. I have to ask - what was creating the light pattern on the ground?
I like it as it is. It gives the right feeling of being dark, which it was I suppose. Still enough light to see it all though.Hey everyone - could I please get your opinion on something in relation to this picture?

Dante got me a long time ago and forces me to spread His Word!Bill,
Huh. It took my 1st generation 13" M1 MBP just over 20 minutes to stack 100 IQ4 150 tiff files in Helicon Focus. You're not by any chance an agent of Mr. Alighieri, are you?
P.S. Cool image!
