I've always leaned to hand-held photography, even for architecture and landscape, mostly because I'm lazy and don't like to carry stuff. Lately, I've been tryin to overcome that and not only bring a tripod, but use (gasp) filters. My stated objection (the real one, remember, being laziness) was always "I want the picture to look like you're really standing there," and streaming clouds and fog-like oceans violated that principle.

So.. here is my first outing with a polarizer, 10 stop ND, and 3 stop grad. I meant to take the 21mm, but grabbed the 30mm by mistake.

The water WAS this shade of green, which drew me to take the photo. What I wasn't counting on was how much of the sky reflection the polarizer would suppress. (I took it both ways, and this is the more surreal).

(oh, and Vieri, it's a 100mm Firecrest Ultra kit. Easy to handle with a little practice.)

This is exactly what I imagine when people refer to "greenery" in NYC...

Yes, the images are already stacked. I made this stack by moving the focusing ring between images, and there is not sufficient lattitude to get the entire dial in focus. I think I forget to mention that this was done with the H52 extension tube, and with the tube, the HC80 has a very limited range, and I used all of it in this stack.

However, this is an out-take, as the client copy was made by moving the camera instead of by changing the focus ring, and that image has the entire dial in sharp focus.

Thank you for the explanation :) There is a great lesson in there somewhere for all of us, sometimes just moving the camera an inch or two (or us, a feet or two, for us landscape guys) is just easier and more effective.

Best regards,

I like the surreal, perhaps crop a little of the bottom to a 16:9?

Big Tree - Phase One XF IQ4 150 9 image Stitch


this one has an interesting story. I had pre-scouted a spot in the lavender fields in Provence the day before. We got up at 4:00 AM to get to the spot. I walked out through the lavender and began to set up my tripod. As I setup a bee stung me at the very corner of my eye. This seemed to set off the bees, and they were all coming after me, trying to sting me in my face. I got stung again at the corner of my eye, almost at the same spot as the first sting. There are millions of bees in the fields – when in the lavender fields two things are very apparent the smell of the lavender, and the loud noise/hum from the bees. The fields are almost vibrating from so many bees.

We decided to abandon the spot in the lavender field, and drove off down a dirt road. Coming around a corner the big tree caught my eye just at sunrise.

Sorry to hear about your episode with the bees. I had a similar experience with a sting on my eyelid last year in the lavender.

I guess it is all for the best. I prefer the big tree image, definitely fits well into my portfolio, and will sell. The lavender fields were fun, just not my thing. I got some images from the area, the typical shots. Its hard to make meaningful images, when you are not excited about the imagery for various reasons.

Steven,

Very nice image of the tree! I am somewhat amazed you were able to continue in after two bee stings!!:bugeyes:
