I haven't posted in a while... But here's a cliche. I like it myself though. :)



For those who care... ZD back, 55mm AF lens, f/5.6, 30s exposure.
I think that you have raised the bar for that "cliche".

Sell that to the San Francisco visitors travel guides.

The parade has started through my little home studio.
Any idea how hard it is to get everyone looking in the same direction?

You need a few thingamajigs hanging on the wall behind you that they all look at. Obviously the babies are tough, so you improvise with sounds like a music box or a squeaker toy :)

Jack,
This is the best that we could do. Cynthia was standing right next to me doing her best with all sorts of things.
The hardest part was keeping the older kid's fingers out of his nose.:ROTFL:
Actually, they were happy with the result so I am too.

I hear you... Too bad Dad wasn't looking at you though. With babies, I usually tell the adults and older children to keep looking right at the lens since I will have to fire when the baby looks my way. Usually I get mom and dad looking at me, the older kids and baby the dice toss...

I have several with the adults looking square at me, but with the kids looking off somewhere else.
I thought the best shot had everyone in place except that the baby was squirming a bit, but this one was their pick.
These were shot tethered with a 23" LCD turned so that they could see each shot. The setup worked really well, and was one of the few times that C1 did not spontaneously go south on me. Acvtually it might have looked too easy :)

We’re currently at the South Rim staying in a cabin at the Bright Angel Lodge. Got here late yesterday afternoon and woke to 11 degrees and slightly blowing snow by the afternoon we warmed up to 23 and snow with zero visibility; they’re calling for 8 to 12” of snow tomorrow.

This image was taken at Hopi Point this morning just as the clouds started covering the entire area. More tomorrow (with any luck). We’re here till Wednesday then heading over to Furnace Creek, Death Valley.

BTY, Cambo RS 1000 35mm lens P45+

Enjoy!

Don, that looks pretty darn cold. And wet. And dark. I like the way you managed to convey this. :) I also really like the dark earthy, wet, desert appearance.

This was with the 40mm Schneider on the Hy6.
For some reason downsizing the image seemed to destroy some detail and I might have oversharpened a bit?
Dont know if its worth posting but I do anyways ;)

Another thing to do if you are using photoshop is to make sure your intended size is a divisor of the original file size...that way it can get rid of pixels evenly. So if the original file size was 4000x3000, then 800x600 etc. It could be my imagination, but when doing it that way they seem to look better to me. And only sharpen once you are at the small size. I don't capture sharpen unless I am planning on printing.

Thanks Jan and David for the kind words.

Took this at Bright Angel Overlook stacking three images at various focal lengths. We got about 12” snow last night with more coming; decided not to go to Death Valley and extending our stay here instead. Cambo RS 1000 35mm lens and P45+ back.



Enjoy!

Don, I like that indeed,
Did you use Helicon of PS or something else in the stacking?
thanks
