Low n Wide
out on the DMR on thurs... got about 8 inches away from this baby. It was windy as usual so it was hard to get much dof while keeping everything still.

What lens did you use? Do you ever use TSE lenses?

Kosta,
I used the sigma 10-20 and this was taken at 10mm, f/18. I havent used a TSE before...I shoot Nikon and I didnt think they had em?

Nikon does have TSE lenses....expensive ones.
I like the in-your-face composition but it does seem just a tad dark on my monitor.

Low & wide and DARK. Not too bad though. Not sure why you were at F18 with that focal length. You could have gotten away with say a 5.4 f stop and really up the shutter speed since it was so windy.

It looks just right on my laptop.

It appears to me that Canon & Nikon have entered in a bit of a war for LF converts. My 24 mm TSE lens is one of my favorites, especially for travel in cities and shooting flowers.

Seems like the center flowers are just too dominant in the frame...

NIce NEw---maybe just a tad more on the bottom---did you crop? if so try adding just a little on the bottom.... JG

Comp is cool, light is a bit harsh, but still cool.

foreground flowers are in focus, midground is not, and the clouds are in focus.....how did you pull that off....
Posted by Rick Lundh on May 14, 2009 at 12:04 PM
Thanks for your feedback folks. Darren, this image is one single exposure. I actually dont think the clouds are in focus... these were nice thunderhead looking clouds with sharp edges in parts...and that's not really showing through.
