The bridge at Audley End

Impressive image! Fantastic angle and result. Best Wishes, Colin.

This lens will work well for you, Colin - nice angle of the bridge and great detail. I'm with the cloning requestors - it will take this up a notch to me by getting rid of those little bits on the right side.

Another beauty from you, masterly the choice of camera position and perspective. Agree on the half swan to be cloned out. Did you correct perspective distortion for the tree on the right side ? DOF is really great, hyperfocal for f:8 @ 10 mm is 0,42 m for APS-C cameras, with a DOF of 0,21 m to infinite. For f:22 (with less optical performance), DOF is 0,08 m to infinite !

Colin. Great perspective, depth and colors.

Colin, I do enjoy how you have taken a photograph of the same bridge (?) from two different perspectives. Each one is very unique though it is the of the same object. I enjoy this one very much as we can see more of the detail and age of the bridge itself and the DOF is wonderful! Aside from the small details others have mentioned I would have to agree that this is another beautiful photo! Regards! - sarah

Pnina, Don, Kim, Marta Eva, Sarah, Carsten - thank you all so much for visiting. I appreciate your encouragement and thought. I have uploaded a new version without the half swan and the bit of tree.

 

Kim, I agree about the half swan etc too. Just really busy at the moment and missed it.

 

Carsten, It is a good lens. I may take a few ideas from you like combining frames etc! The tree is like that naturally though I did adjust the bottom corners to get the sweep of the bridge parapet coming to the corner.

 

Sarah, yes it is the same bridge as the other shot but from the other end. (I like bridges in case you had not guessed!)

 

 

Superb, I like old stone, like old faces....with history..

Great use of those curves... Jiri

Another one of those lovely wide shots! I don't know how you find all the pretty places and colours (in january!) You are really making good use of that 10-22 lens!

Good eye behind an interesting lens. Charming outcome. Regards, Baldur

Thanks Jean-Paul, Jiri, Camilla, Baldur.

 

Camilla, I was very lucky with the weather that day and it has not been as good since.

Vey surreal and soothing to look at. Subtle colors and lovely composition. The sky is slightly over-exposed but in no decreasing the high aesthetic value of the picture.

 

Nice work.

 

Kind regards.

Very nice composition with an excellent view point and Great Depth of field.

Very nice detail, DOF, and perspective. I like it!

Very good perspective, and detail! Regards

Nice lens Colin, you choose the subject well for a test, and if you hadn't mentioned it I would have thought you made a good photo. Huuuuuuge smile. Those curves are nice supporting each other, the tree is bit heavy on the left.

him him... there and... beautiful!!!! in the all from the colors to the perspective.. that curves... atmosphere...

naked and raw...

Beautiful composition, great colours and details.Best regards.

Colin, you outdid yourself with this photo. The curve of the bridge is excellent. Great dof and lighting. Cheers, Sondra

Thanks everyone!

Very good angle and colors. 7/6.

Nice swing trough the imige.

 

I think there is a lot of resemblance in composition of the 3 uploads, coincidence?

Colin. I can see that you are putting to very good use your new toy. Mastering its possibilities. I am very fond of wide angle and only regret not to have invested in a really good one since my Cosina 19-35 doesn't deliver the sharp definition I was expecting, specially at full aperture.

Thanks Aivar!

 

Hey mike, thanks for dropping by. Coincidence? Probably just lack of imagination!

 

Alberto thank you! I had the same problem with my Sigma 12-24 which was disappointing at full aperture and not wonderful even when stopped down. Tbis is better but primes are still unbeatable imo.
