Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC #21

Recommended Posts

<p>We have received a summer advance this weekend, it was hot with the typical spring colors: flowers, green, water on rivers... this retrievers had fun in this stream.</p>

<p>I`m posting this pic after some comments about the 50AFS sharpness at wider apertures; if I want to have shallow DoF with high sharpness I use to shot at f2.8, wider apertures will look a bit softer and there is a problem with focus... it could be really difficult to keep focus if the subject is not static. Exposure levels in this pic were almost perfect on the histogram, I only added a bit of masking contrast, a bit of darkening and unsharp masking. I think I should have increased saturation a bit, too. The full sized NEF looks really sharp after this processing.</p>

<p>D700 @ 200ISO + 50/1.4AFS, 14bit RAW, f2.8 - 1/2000sec. All camera tricks off.</p>

<p >Too busy to play with my camera but I managed to get something done. </p>

<p >I saw this rose and I didn't had my Micro lens with me. Then again my AFS 300 came to rescue. </p>

<p>Great start guys... Rene your rose is lovely, don't worry, and I hope your recent travels went very well... Trevor love the mood of your image.</p>

<p>This is my last week of posting from my recent jaunts in the Middle East I promise, then I'll get onto some stuff I'm currently doing in a photo workshop which is really stretching me and making me learn more (and is also much more 'close to home' here in Sydney rather than of distant places).</p>

<p>Hello everybody<br>

My picture was taking on the 17th of May, Norways national day. They have this tradition where high school kids in their last year made a parade (there are many parades that day). The theme for 2009 here in Tromsø where the last 5 decades. Here is a pic from the 80'...<br>

Rene, I was about to ask if you used a flash to direct the light into the rose (I liked it a lot) and then you think you did a mistake? Come on!<br>

Good work everybody! Gary, Bernard and Trevor's are my favorite so far. By the way Bernard, your sensor is not clean, but you probably have noticed it. Look at the spot to the right of the half moon, in the sky.<br>

Cheers!</p>

<p>Great pictures, everyone!<br>

This week I'm a bit late. I guess the alarm clock didn't work properly.<br>

José, the dogs are awsome. Great expressions and sense of fun =)<br>

Mine, again, is a recovery from the archives. Taken during a workshop last year, while everyone was enjoying the sun outside, I was alone with these chairs =)<br>

<p>Hector - yes you're right, thankfully it cleaned off ok when I got home from this trip thanks to my trusty blower and a nervously-applied sensor pen. Thanks for your comment too. I'll cut out this blemish when I post-process this properly in NX2.</p>

<p>Jose - what a wonderful dog shot. Are those beauties yours?<br>

Rene' your rose looks perfect & please tell Hideyuki hi from me. Better take him out photographing...<br>

Gary - lovely tulip &,<br>

I love the playful boy in Alejandro's photo as well.<br>

Todd - that is one beautiful location. Neat photo you got.<br>

Well I have only post processed a few from last weeks trip so I have to use one of them... I'm posting a photo from my sister-in-law's & brother-in-law's backyard in Port Angeles, WA. An American Robin in a flowering cherry tree. This is in honor of my sister-in-law for letting us stay with her (them) while we were there & since it turns out she would love a photo of a Robin in her cherry tree - this will be printed & mailed to her. ;)<br>

D300 + 300mm AF-S f/4, Kenko 1.4 TC - hand held EXIFs embedded as always...<br>
