Nothing is stopping you Ronny. New wows from here. I really hope you've found a good Göteborg-lab that has enabled you to cover a wall with these ever-so-tasteful flower images :-)
Carsten, now what? "Fujifilm S5 Pro" leaving that super-Nikon 800-something at home?
I picked up the S5 just to come to grips with its DR and colours. I am not particularly intending to keep it. I want to see what others see in this camera. Oh, I also have a Kodak SLR/n in a box somewhere... I have too much junk around I need to test and sell
This is a bit of a postcard shot, not so interesting, so I will fill in with a bit of background. The place is the Schiffshebewerk Niederfinow, and is in the middle nowhere, outside of Berlin. It is situated on a river with quite a bit of traffic, and exists due to the fairly steep rise (36m) in elevation here. Schiff means ship, and Hebewerk means lifting machine, more or less, i.e. it is an elevator for ships. It is quite old (1906), and will soon be replaced by a much more modern one which is currently being built on the other side of it. ZF21 on D800.
I am not sure why there appears to be a cyan cast on the left, my lens is normally balanced. Perhaps there was a bit of weather over there, I don't quite recall any more.
It looks like I messed up the edges inside the frame a bit. Downsizing images with multiple layers doesn't seem to work for me. I am learning Photoshop... has anyone watched these two videos:
Nice shots, Carsten. As to framing, I just make a new "image" in PS which is xx pixels taller and wider than the photo, fill with black, and copy-paste my photo on to it.
I use the Cmd+Opt+C box, which adds a frame of X pixels to the width and Y pixels to the height, evenly all around, but even before the frame, there was a thin light area all around, I just didn't spot it before I added the frame. This shot is not that important to me, but I am wondering why having layers causes this to happen on downsizing. I noticed it about halfway through my downsizing, cropped it out, and continued until I was done. I just didn't think to check it again until I saw it here.
I use a Contax 55 to 86 step ring as a hood for my 55 Planar, the one Wilhelm mentioned. You don't actually need the rest of the attachments. That ring is sufficient to shield it.
It looks a little awkward with a short lens and a wide "hood", but it works well. Tamron makes an 86mm snap lens cap that fits on the front. Then every one thinks you have a tiny Tamron lens and leaves you alone. :-)
