Love the composition.


Thank you

The beautiful colors are gone for now.

Fall in South-East Asia like this
Contax N 28-80mm, 80mm@5.6 on Sigma SD1 Merrill ISO 100 1/800s.

Witha autum colors mostly gone, I'm starting to process my way through "older" files, in this case from october 10.

5N, C/Y 35-70 at 70mm, 3x3 image stitch.

...

Oh I like that scene, composition, smiles.. Very nice capture.

Thanks wfrank!

Looks like I forgot the specs too:

EXIF Summary: GH2, Pana 14-45/3.5, 1/60s, f/4.5, ISO640, 19mm (35mm eq:38mm)

Let me share a couple. I was mainly playing the the 7D's video this fall put did shoot some still images. The alternative lenses are shining for video!

I think these were shot using either the Contax or Leica R lenses, I just don't remember which as I was switching alot.

Yea I posted this one elsewhere (Sony A-mount thread .. nobody goes there)

That second shot is great, and I like the last one too!

all three look great to me, though the white balance looks a little cooler than i would think it should be on the first one.

Mescalamba, number 2 and 3 for me. Nice to see how they feel very different from each other.

Here's a contribution of me of a couple of weeks ago (seems like an endless time now winter has really started).

The first two were taken at the estates in 's Gravenland (in the Netherlands):



And this one was taken in Naarden:


All images with Rokkor 58mm 1.2.

Thank you. Hm, you like last one? Maybe I should try to put it on 500px. Wasnt sure its good enough.

Thank you. Keen eye, but truth is that white balance on second is much warmer than reality. Was quite cold day, around noon, light wasnt warm at all, just cold light going through foggy weather. And I shifted white balance on first one towards warmer tones too, original was ice cold color.

Mostly I try to keep white balance "as I saw it", but I understand that folks like warm colored photos with lots of saturation. Currently just trying to do something between. I prefer my originals, true to reality, but no one else does.

Thank you. That alley photo looks pretty amazing!

I think I processed the scales poorly... Oh well.. maybe I'll retry again later.

I feel that it has a very nostalgic feeling, and processing makes it look like film from the 70s or 80s.

Scales? A very odd look somehow, but it is very difficult to put my finger on it. Somehow there is something strange going on in the mid tones, it almost feels noisy, although I can't see any noise. Low definition. How did you process?

Yup, noisy describe it to me. I should just screen-capture the PhotoShop display as that looks really deep and very cool. They look OK processed like that if they stay big - like 1800 pixels high by 1000 wide - or something. But then it can't fit on anyone's monitor.

Here's another one from the same day processed in the same way; only not scaled down as much:
