Hello all,

This is one of my usual spots at the Japanese Gardens. I tested the extremes of the lenses today, and they worked really well. I guess it was worth the price of the L's after all :razz:

I like this spot b/c the two trees kind of echo each other's form and then you see the waterfall. Perhaps you have one of these shots, too. It's a very quiet, dark spot to just take it all in.

Let me know what you think and would've done differently. I don't have C1 for the 5D so I used DPP in the meantime.

Techs:

Canon 5D
17-40 mm @ 40 mm f/22
tripod
CPL
timer
bracketed shots, only middle exposure used

Very nice Kevin. It definitely has your style written all over it.

I've been using DPP as well recently and I really love it.

Nice one and the 5D looks good - not like I can really tell anything with a 700pixel image.... but nice color and sharpness. I totally missed the Japanese Gardens this year.... :frown:
