Matt Laur Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here:http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! We've had Memorial Day, and like clockwork it's suddenly hot and sticky out. I'm not ready! So, this photo from an earlier season is more aspirational than documentary, per se. One of the better frost episodes I recall in these parts. I could go for splitting the difference between that day, and our current shift into the summer swampiness. Never seems to be any middle ground. So share some photos, even if they're wishful thinking. Used a Nikon 60/2.8 macro for this one. Man, now I want a cold beer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Garrard Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 No. It's got total film clarity. :-) I have to agree, though, that this image has a tonality and local contrast that often seems to be lacking from 35mm film images, even viewed at web site size - though I've certainly seen 35mm images that looked "soft" in large prints compared with digital. That might say a lot about your post-processing workflow (I don't think there's a doubt that modern films such as Portra 160 can capture good image quality, and here we're looking at a film introduced in 2011, only a few months before I took some D700 images that made it into a few Nikon Wednesdays back), but whatever, that's an image that looks "un-film-like", and in a good way.

Andrew Garrard Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 A British summer means rain, although fortunately not on me (I got to watch it pass by). This was from Sunday evening, the night after the storm I posted to the last Nikon Wednesday. There was another thunderstorm as I dropped some rubbish at the tip yesterday. Apparently thunderstorms are like busses - nothing for ages, then three come along at once. Same rig as last time - D850, 35mm Art, tripod. Lower ISO this time round, though! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Garrard Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Of course, I found my electronic lightning trigger just after all of this. But fortunately it didn't matter - normally the storms we get have one strike every couple of minutes, but this was every few seconds (I have a two-second exposure with two strikes, I even got one with my phone), in this case there tended to be several long strikes together on the same path (long enough that I could react), and longer exposures worked okay anyway as the sun set. Photogenic, by the standard of storms I get to shoot. Incidentally, I took over a hundred strikes in total. A cool effect of fast memory cards is that I can scroll through them quickly and watch the clouds roil in time lapse... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
