I went to the Georgia mountains a couple of weeks ago and had a ball. Unfortunately, I got so excited and caught up in photographing scenes with AF lenses and forgot to use MF lenses. I did take the time to shoot a couple of scenes on my IR converted D70 with the 50/1.4 AI.
Andy,
That first one is sublime. Imagine if there had been waves...the masts swaying into blurry V shapes - nah, it is great as is.

It was a bit of a bust as I soon realised that the longer exposures required and the stiff breeze would result in very blurred boats in the foreground so had to try other views.
The building with the gold top reflecting the sun is called the Eureka Building. It used to be the tallest building in the S.Hemisphere apparently, has a viewing floor and a glass box that you can stand in as it extends out of the building. It's been superceded by the building to the left with the gold star thing half way up.

Hi Andy - I've been up the Eureka building - don't they have a commerative plaque there in connection with the Eureka Stockade and Ballarat which I think one could see from the viewing floor ? At least 20 years ago so my memory might be palying tricks. Lovely image.

Thanks Peter, yeah that does sound familiar. Did you get out to Ballarat and pan for gold at Sovereign Hill?

Thanks Jim
I did think maybe it would look cool with the blurry masts but whenever I try stuff like that it turns out meh
Ah, mine is the 3.5 Not a lot of shots though, after I realized I drove two hours away, so had to drive two hours to get back home, too, so I could get to sleep at a decent hour in order to work the following morning. :/

Laura, thanks for your ongoing series at the church with the 15 3.5.
I only got hold of a 15 5.6 very recently. It is definitely a keeper.
This was a fun shot, the ground was a spongy layer of soft pine needles at the same angle as the foreground log.
I had grabbed a thin limb on a bush to keep myself in position as I shot the 38 frames that make up this photo.

38 frames? Outstanding work! How many pixels on each side of this finished image?

38 frames! What an incredible size wall hanger that would make. Great job with that shot!

Great shot. I'm assuming you used the 38 frames to focus stack?
Here's a representative single exposure from the above alternate view of Chamberlain Falls, in this case there are 8 vertical oriented shots in 2 rows (4x2) and each is focal stacked depending on content. A lot was cropped from the top since the lighter sky showing through the trees detracted from the waterfall. The final composite after this crop is 8919x9878pixels.
I shoot a lot of composite/panos, the Russian Gulch generally are composed of many more sub frames.
Not a lot of shots though, after I realized I drove two hours away, so had to drive two hours to get back home, too, so I could get to sleep at a decent hour in order to work the following morning. :/
