ShunCheung Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) This is the additional weekly image thread for the Nature Forum. While images posted to this thread should still be nature in theme, it may contain a small amount of human-made objects and therefore less restricted than the Monday in Nature threads. Please see this discussion for more details: Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. Black-bellied whistling ducks at the Waterfall Gardens in Costa Rica. To gain depth of field, I stopped down to f11 and ended up with ISO 12800. (I have versions at a higher aperture and lower ISO.)

ShunCheung Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 JDM, while my opening image was set at ISO 12800 (for the sake of depth of field), this week's thread is not a competition of grainy images. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTriplett Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Shun, I was just about to start the thread, but thank you for doing it this week (again). This week's image is from the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry in Emery County, Utah. I was there yesterday doing field investigations. This is a mix of in-situ materials and recreations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 That was on high-speed film back in 1974, ferchrissakes this week's thread is not a competition of grainy images. Maybe it should be. Grain is great, grain is good. The obsession with "sharpness" is often just that, an obsession to the point of OCD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTriplett Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Grain is great, grain is good. My offering was shot at ISO 1600, f/8, 1/80s, handheld under available light. Even with VR and some PP it's far less sharp than I had hoped, but still a useful image. (Heavily cropped and down-sampled from a much larger documentary image.) I agree that grain is not necessarily the enemy, but sometimes it's not my friend, either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
