Evening Glow (Best Viewed Large)

Aloha, Vincent.

Terrific shot, which I always has dreaned to take

Best regards

"So then... are you saying that none of the other camera models can accomplish this???"

 

There are other cameras?? ..heh.

 

 

My point is, because I am fully reliant on this for a living, I am more interestd with *getting the shot* than I am with the technical details that GOT the shot. Although after blowing rolls every now and then in the past, I still keep an eye on it... because the F-5 is so good, just a little eye. Harry knows what I'm talking about.

Thanks Vincent, I have used the F5 and "reeally" dont think the results will be any different "for landscape photography anyways"... than the F100, N80 or probably even the N55 for that matter. "except for maybe some added back pain from the weight" It is solidly built, but they "all" brake eventually. I never keep track of exposures either, it is almost impossible with changing light and really no reason for it with "any" of todays modern spot meters. Thanks again...though.(-;

Wrong forum I guess. I LIKE the weight, balances nicely in my hands. That extra weight is also why it endured being dropped onto aspalt from the top of my truck years ago, as well as many other bangs-bumps. Is built like a tank. The extra speed it posseses has come in handy quite a few times. Plus just knowing it's fast gives the photographer a greater measure of confidence when out in the fields. The RGB *color* sensitive metering (a first of its kind) gives this camera a noticable edge over the F-100 and N-70, both of which I own and have compared extensively. Just F. Y.I.

 

There is not a better 35mm camera on the earth in my opinion. Still, the equipment is not as important as the one behind the camera. Of course.

Thanks again Vincent, you had drifted Micheles comment off into "the nice things about the F5"...so I was just curious about your opinion here. When you mentioned "the nice thing about the F5"......I somewhat got the impression that one of the other Nikon models or other manufacturers models for that matter wouldnt of been capable of acheiving the same results "on THIS picture"....with the same film "of course".... and didnt want anyone to be mislead. Thank you for the Hi-Tech answer.

8fps.....maybe you should consider turning that off for this type of picture Vincent..so you dont go through so much film.(-:

PS...The same thing happened to my old N80 a couple years ago, "being dropped onto asphalt".... and still keeps ticking...cant beat Nikon!! Beautiful work as always on both of these!

I like both but the blue seems to stand out better for me. I guess I will have to get a Nikon so I can take pics like these. :-)

The ocean show has restarted again. Here are two articles with a pretty decent photo of the new lava-ocean action.

Outstanding shot, outstanding nature.

I love it just as it is.

Excellent exposure. The colors are superb.

Perfect... congrats... best regards...

...great!!!!!!!!!

Very impressive work, Vince. It looks dangerous, but I am glad that someone is willing to do it and bring it home to the rest of us.

 

On the artistic side, of course, it is absolutely incredible.

 

I would say something negative if I could, Vince, but I can't find anything bad to say about these. These are great.

So you took this picture thousandths of years ago when the island was started? Kidding. It's a great capture... I can only imagine how it is to be there oneself... amazingly.

Beautiful shot, Vincent. So warm. You can really feel the heat. What a rush it must have been. I didn't read the rest, but Bente's Nielsen's comment is funny. How old did you say you were?

Whatever I could say. It has been said. I'll throw my 7/7 in with all the others and enjoy this remarkable image for a while. Thanks!

Must be an awesome sight to behold. Nicely done.

Amazing shot and colors!!

I realize I chime in after quite some time and discussion went on... Rather than comparing the merits of the two images, which are both stunning, I am rather partial to the direct comparison you've posted in the middle of this page: a diptych, to me, is the supreme way of presenting this image. What to put to the top and what to the bottom, though, is another story altogether... you might reverse chronological order and go for the effect of "cooling" with cold colors giving the impression the phenomenon is quenching... or keep the chronological order and give the feeling the lava is heating everything up...

 

How would the "buying public" react to the diptych? Any other slides from that session which could make it into a triptych, instead?

Stunning image. The colours and composition are remarkable. Great, great work.
