pfm Picture A Week (PAW) 2012 part I

[Tigerjones]

Yes what Joe says, nice feel to it.

cheers Tiger - I did a similar shot with a D3S last year, only that one needed to be pushed to ISO 1600 and the highlights got blown to boot.

Here's a thumbnail if you want to see the difference, click

I really like the orange lighting down the right hand side, looks very inviting.

I'm just wishing you'd stop putting these up Cliff. The thing thats holding me back at the moment is the comments about not going past f11 for diffraction reasons?

 

[Joe P]

Cliff,

You can continue putting these up. The thing that's holding me back at the moment is cabbage.

There's nothing new or special about the D800 in terms of diffraction. The maths has been known since the late 1800s.

The X-Pro1 is a tad cheaper than the D800 ;-)

Cliff,

The X-Pro1 is cheaper until you include the cost of the lenses.

Either way I'm looking at about 3 thousand Canuck clams.

Really lovely pics Cliff. The recent X-Pro and D800 images have a certain natural, um, presence I'm really liking.

Ther were at least 8 wood pigeons sat in the tree at the end of the garden. Bloody things - but attractive up close. That one looks like it's got eye liner on.

I'd also have to sell all my nice Pentax stuff and probably my speakers as well if I want a couple of lenses. I'll hold back while I decide if its just an unnecessary expense that I wouldn't really use to its best potential anyway.

One from yesterdays dog wander with the little LX-5 compact.

 

[Tony Lockhart]

Getting to grips with a new lens today....

 

[RichardH]

Mark, you seem to be doing just fine with that nice Pentax stuff - and the LX5

 

[Mark LJ]

Cheers Richard - I'll be going back with some nice Pentax stuff and the 10 stopper when the cloud/wind is right.

Like that, the light breaking from behind the uilding makes it - gives it a real end of day feel
