Been really really busy at work since returning from our lovely trip to Florence. It is easy to question whether the vacation was worth all the work when I returned, but now that I am calming down a bit and looking again at how lucky I was to enjoy two weeks in Italy, well, it was worth it. Here is one that I just processed. An image like this is hard for me as adding contrast/clarity/dehaze and the like is so tempting. I think I like how this looks as is without too much fiddling, but happy to receive criticism, of course. It was a lovely sunrise taken from Piazalle Michaelangelo--a stitch panorama using the CV 40/1.2 on a tripod. http://a4.pbase.com/o10/91/505291/1/166741843.yKXciSa0._DSC5746Pano.jpg...Show more →
Hope this is not too repetitive. I recently posted a similar picture and it was a five image stitch--five verticals stitched to a pano. The regret I have is that I did not do it earlier when the light was more dramatic. Today I found two images I had previously posted individually and found they could be combined. The light in the sky is better but I lose some nice foreground elements but gain better sky. Anyway, here is the result. Two images, originally horizontal, with CV 40/1.2. Better?
Or perhaps even earlier with the Loxia 21 (crop). It was a fun sunrise, but trying to choose my favorite framing and development is challenging! I will try not to post any more of these!
A couple of Cheetah shots at the Living Desert Zoo in Palm Desert, California. A7RII with FE 100-400. I find I do not have enough patience for this kind of photography. It must take weeks in the wild waiting for a the right shot.
