Photograph and Camera talk

[Jett129]

Thank you so much. Full disclosure. I was at the park mid day and the light was so harsh that the only thing I could do to salvage the image was do it in B&W.

Nice recovery!  Tripod, wide angle, long exposure?  What setup did you use?

[Jett129]

I’m pretty far away.So I used a 100-400 zoom lens,ISO 2500 f13 at 1/800 sec. -1 stop exposure compensation and a polarizing filter. Hand held.

[Jett129]

Another one…

Once again, great job!  Image stabilizer on the lens?  …and you’re using Nikon equip???  I can’t remember.

[Jett129]

Image stabilizer for sure,and all Canon gear.

Very cool photos Jett !

I would love to go Hiking/Exploring at Yosemite.

[Jett129]

It totally lives up to the hype. This was definitely a bucket list trip for me.

Phenomenal shots, @Jett129

Truly Ansel Adams like

[Jett129]

Thank you,If I ever go again I definitely would stay in the park,because every day just as we were leaving the light was starting to get good. The roads to and from the park are pretty twisty and I wouldn’t want to be driving them in the dark.

Picture and a Song…

Bled (Slovenia), January 2020 at ~8.00AM in the morning, just after sunrise.
Shot on Sony A6000 with the mighty Samyang 12mm.
One of the most beautiful lake overviews I’ve ever seen.
Getting up early was worth it, I was the only one up there, which is a rare occasion at touristy lake Bled.

[Giles]

Love that

[weftyarn]

Glad you like the shot, Giles. Definitely a beautiful place to visit!

Another picture and a song. Always thought the song was called Waterfall.     

[weftyarn]

I was fascinated by all the leading lines, so I took out the camera.
Then this kid walked by and that made the picture.

XT4 with the 23/1.4

@weftyarn That is a great picture!  Any chance you have one where they are about 3 or 4 steps forward?  It would look like they have the lines trailing them and were the cause of it…

[Jett129]

Great,Great shot.Has to be B&W. Really like everything about it.

[weftyarn]

Dang, now that you say it I can see it @goosehd …
I only took this one shot.

You are totally right that this should be a B&W shot, @Jett129

The original colored pic just doesn’t work:

[Jett129]

I test just about every shot that I edit to see if it looks good in B&W,just in case.
