p.626 #5 · Your Best Nikon shots.

Shot in 2003. Was doing the routine back ups and noticed a file named Mantis, opened it up and I completely forgotten about this series. This was a quick shot since I was shooting something and I sow a Mantis on the lawn and I quickly shot this. I didn't have time to grab a macro lens as the Mantis could've ran away by then.

I am seriosuly considering going back to 35mm film for several reasons: look, colour and feel and future proofing / archiving. Who knows if dslr raw files are supported within 30 yrs from now or any hardware that can support raw converters...

The film below are scanned on an IT8 calibrated Nikon LS40 scanner using a Velvia 100F profile at gamma 2.4. No photoshopping, no cropping, just used Silverfast Ai 6 and no adjustments since IT8 profiling is accurate. IT8.7 Film targets can be purchased at: http://www.targets.coloraid.de/ .

So very many great shots recently. Hard to pick a favorite!

I agree. I see these fantastic photos and it would be really nice to see what gear was used ( though we all know it's not necessarily the gear that made the photo possible or great).

Settings maybe a factor with long exposures and such but I wouldn't worry about knowing what body & lens was used, it really doesn't matter.
Knowing what filters were used can be a plus though.

Shot in 2002 and this series were on the same roll of Kodak E6 film. No photoshopping, no cropping, no tone / colour adjustments as the scanner is calibrated using IT8.7 targets. Using the Silverfast Ai 6 makes the Nikon LS40 scanner perform as it were a more expensive scanner, especially when IT8.7 calibrated.

Cheers.

Oh I love to see what body or more importantly, which lens was used. They all have their own personality. It is the settings that isn't really of any value unless you are newer trying to gauge about what settings a person might use to achieve a certain shot, granted star trail photography and images that are stacked can really leave a person guessing.

Sometimes I see a shot so razor sharp that I just have to know what lenses are capable of such high amounts of sharpness. LMT's last post is a good example of that. A lot of people write off Tamron lenses, but the 60mm he is using is effing sharp and I never would have guessed that.
