Uzay, the optical illusion in your staircase shot is captivating. I prefer the BW shot of the second one.
Samuli: better wait for the new version of the 25, god knows when it will come...
I posted a couple more ZF 25 shots in this thread
thanks for your suggestion about avoiding sky in the forest. You are right. Also looking at your images at your website and also those you posted makes me aware, that I really, really need to look into sharpening. Especially the much praized \"Samuli-focusing-routine\" your images just look soooo much better. Plus your way of carefully focusing with live view also is much better then the sloppy eye focusing on the fly I usually do.
Paul: your film shots really come out intense. I do like them a lot.
Bob: looking good. Your struggle there made me try a layer composite out of 3 bracket shots 2/3 of a stop apart in Photoshop. The foreground is the brightest shot, everything above the horizon is 1.3 stops darker, and the middle shot is only coming through at small portions where the overlap is difficult.
No pp done otherwise.
what do you guys think? I feel like it looks a bit artificial due to the intense colours. Not sure I like the result. comments welcome
