Love the tripod, what brand is that?

This is a Berlebach tripod (berlebach.de).

Love the pic - imagine it looks great in full resolution. Fantastic.

Yes, Mal, it's really hard I do actually have to get out of bed and go out onto the glassed-in verandah! It's a tough life.

Seriously, it is great for lightning over the ocean too, shoot in complete safety, from a chair, with coffee to hand. My big Manfrotto tripod (055-Nat + 141CRNAT ) pretty much stays out there, it's a big heavy sod to carry around so I use a lighter one when I am on the go.

ilya, was that shot with an RZ67 Pro, Pro II or Pro IID? I was thinking go taking mine digital with my aptus 65s back but have had problems finding the right adapter, and trying to figure out how to meter with the AE prism finder

 

[itsskin]

It is D ver. But anyway prism metering doesn't work with digital back.

 

[ghoonk]

Ah, that explains. Nicely done, lovely photo!

I'm game folks! I've got a working DB now and have had an hour today testing the SK 72L for the first time.

I am totally amazed how good I focus with guessing distance!!!!!!! I have HPF rings on order and this week coming I am ordering a Disto 5, but I am really close on every shot with guessing. I honestly did not think that was possible.

Just playing with the new IQ180.

But the real surprise is the Sensor+. I've only tried it at ISO 800 but the images are extraordinarily crisp and clean. This was the 300 mm handheld at 1/3000 sec. Processed at P1 defaults.

Nice one, Dan!

I like both your 2 last ones, Dan.

Thanks guys
The last one with the windows I plan to shoot again as soon as I get my disto. I need the disto to stay exactly at the same distance from physically moving the camera for a stitch. My SWA only allows for one way of movement and that is needed for rise in this case.
So, this one is a crop, and was more of a test to see if it is worth working for!

Bill, would have posted your image in here but don't know how.

I am loving this image - did you do much post production, to get the light cloud bank just popping off the background clouds?

[macoberly]

Thanks Ed. It is a two image stitch.

Terrific! Is that a stitch or crop?

 

[Bill Caulfeild-Browne]

Mal, I just converted it in C1 using the built-in Style preset for high contrast B&W. Then a little extra clarity and a touch of noise reduction. I lightened the file to the point of the white cloud almost blowing out the highlights. (I had exposed ETTR as always.)

Thanks for kind comment!

That is a superb image, I really like the pattern of clouds. Great work Bill.
