Tom +1! The tonality of your image as others have pointed out is simply fabulous as is the image itself.Tom, I am enjoying the Pentax color. And you are right about how much you can push these files around.
I really enjoy these "out of season" photographs. It really emphasizes the palette the world has. We are kind of blind to it--if it is mud, it must be blah. I just love the water, sand, and sky color/texture you have in that image.
Tom,Thanks everyone. Wildrover: no correction applied here. I have seen a slight barrel distortion in the 35, when stitching, but I have never applied any correction to a single shot. Shashin: it was blah as you say, the only reason I got this shot is a self-imposed assignment to print a picture every day for a year. That project forced me out of the house.
Unrelated but interesting is this size comparison:
Compare camera dimensions side by side
WildRover, I am not sure what you are seeing, whether it is optical or a property of the horizon--the horizon is an equidistant line rather than a line that gets further away toward the edges of the frame like those on buildings (and I have no idea if that makes a difference, but I have had problems with horizon lines looking crooked after leveling the camera). Here is a shot I took recently with the A 35mm in Tokyo that has a lot of straight lines. I am not seeing barrel distortion, at least nothing that stands out.Shashin, I found a few shots that show the slight barrel distortion of the 35mm A. I worked on them a bit to make them presentable, but I didn't correct for the barrel distortion I'm seeing. Normally, I would have added a +5 correction in Lightroom 3. In most shots you wouldn't see this, but with a long unbroken horizon line where sky meets water, it's more apparent. I brought up the question because I was wondering how other folks correct for this. All in all, I'm very happy with the 645D and 35mm A combination. Receding Memories was in Door County, Wisconsin and the other two were in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
