Outstanding, Steve. Great shot. She'd kick my tush anyday. Wonderful use of the APO-Cron!

Jerry, this is one of my all time fav's from you!!!
I went for a hike/scramble on Sunday too, although not to escape the heat like Lloyd and Mimi: a nice path through the poplars, where there was an abundance of Western Wood Lilies, and lots of geraniums too - mostly white, although some purple like Lloyd's, and some bits of weather (showers, snow pellets, thunder) passing through from time to time, which made for some nice light when I was up higher.
These are all M8, 35 mm Summarit. I am still struggling with my processing: most of these are RPP+PS5 - I find that mostly RPP is vastly superior to ACR5, but it tends to require more PS work, after the raw conversion, naturally enough. The ridge shot is all Adobe though, as I couldn't get close with the RPP version. Colour balance is my main problem - I may have to start using my WhiBal card more, particularly for flower shots, until I get better at it.
Gorgeous set!! I especially love that last one. Thanks for sharing. :salute:
Arjuna: +1, +1, nice photos! Excellent framing and general IQ. How far out of Calgary did you go? For what it's worth, IMHO, i agree and think you could improve color balance. Needs more "intensity". Have you tried Levels in PS? More clarity/vibrance/saturation/contrast in ACR5?Great shots my friend
I like the last one the most
well done
Osman: Very eloquently said and photographed! I love the dark intensity and sense of discovery in the last image. The softer pp adds to this. :thumbup:Not minding the intermittent rain, we started our downward hike towards the Ilıca Waterfalls, our second stop in the Küre Mountains National Park; accompanied only by the sound of rain falling on the grass, and the delicious smell of wet earth and foliage. This was an occasion where the going itself was all that mattered.
On the way, we encountered mighty trees that could crack the hardest of rocks...
Then the sky darkened and the rain intensified. The best way to find our bearing was to keep listening to the sound of the waterfalls. Then, suddenly, around a bend, we were awed by the subtle majesty of nature. Everything, sounds, smells, colors subsided and we were once more proud to be so insignificant on this wonderful planet:
Wow, outstanding images from Matt and Osman on this page. Matt, what outstanding use of the 24 lux! Osman, lovely processing and wonderful captures! Love the waterfall shot!
Arjuna, love the landscape image and DOF!
Sorry, all of the recent absense and lack of posts. I just got a promotion at work that's kept me quite busy, and another distraction, as some of you know, who has also kept me more occupied.
Ashwin: Congratulations and Thank you. :thumbup: Yes, down by Pioneer Square.Lovely, Matt! Love the tones and subtle colors. Pioneer Square?
Outstanding, Steve. Great shot. She'd kick my tush anyday. Wonderful use of the APO-Cron!

Thanks Ashwin. Congrats on the promotion... and the distraction.Lloyd, I can just smell the fresh air and the wilderness. Great series. Images that make me want to hop over to my own set of mountains!
Very nice one Mike. :thumbup:Lost for words in terms of the quality you people turn out. That learning curve is looking steeper by the day :bugeyes:
