The sky looks better now, but there is still magenta-left/cyan-right problems, and the whole Berliner Dom now looks a little magenta. I am not sure if this problem is fixable with global operations...
Ok, maybe a little bit too much red and blue to compensate the green cast. I've uploaded a new version with less red and blue.
And I agree with you, that you need some local operations to really fix the problem.
I like your last picture of the staircase in vertical position.
Those Zeiss lenses are really amazing.
I just try to get the best results out of my old OM's.
Is that a "your camera takes great photos" comment?
Note that my posted shots have almost all been multi-shot panoramas so far, and I am not sure how much of the lens character has survived in most of them, apart from the dry bush.
Philippe I am again looking at those tiny bricks of the church tower. It is unbelievable that even in the far corners this sharpness is retained. My next lens will be a Zeiss for sure.
He,he, it is of course the photograoher who takes good photos, how does a camera know when to press the button and more over what object to choose in what lighting conditions.
Actually that Saturday night I had a terrible experience. I went home with only one thing in mind: To process the images from my memory card as soon as possible. You must know, that we have arrived from abroad only a few weeks ago and my computer has been set up only a week before. First disappointment was, that my PC could not recognise the build-in multi-card reader. I want to make the story short, I ended up with no images at all. All images on the card were erased by mistake. Luckily I have a little recovery software from sundisk. So I was able to recover most of the images and in addition some hundred images from previous shooting back in China. The problem was that this recovery software assigned new random file numbers, means my images were not anymore in chronological order. I am actually missing this picture of the statue. But honestly I was not expecting it to be that good either. But I will try to find it, once I am at home. Maybe I have to scan the memory card again.
1/25 sec at ISO 100 means that you still have steady hands.
No camera shake !
But as I remember there was a fence on which you could support the lens.
(Now, don't tell me that I acuse you of "cheating" that you have put it on the fence ?)
I am very sorry to hear about your images, Rudi. I hope it didn't affect your photos from China.
By the way, on the shot you posted of me, I was setting up for testing how parfocal Philippe's 35-70/3.4 is, upon his request for a second opinion. The answer: not at all! Focusing at 35mm, it is very out of focus at 70mm at f/5.6, and vice versa. Apropos: I just bought my own copy of this lens on e*ay. Now I just need the Leitax adapter and some luck converting it.
Philippe, we could hardly have "seen" or processed differently! You emphasized the B&W tones, I emphasized the warm tones. You chose a square crop, I chose to retain the natural vignetting of the location in a 4:3 crop. Interesting that two people can stand right next to each other and come away with such different ideas.
Here is my statue shot. I went around its back to get the warm sunlight on the flanks of the horse, whereas all three of you stayed on the front, presumable to get some faces. I am curious what you got from it.
After this, I have only Brandenburger Tor and Gendarmenmarkt at night.
Carsten, I like both of the statue shots. The grey and rainy sky above the statue provides for an even nicer, more diffuse lighting than the blue sky we had in the morning. I cannot compete with this.
