new zealand coastline Karitane
AlainD commented on new_zealand_landscapes's gallery image in Landscape
Simply superb... A "landscape" presentation (cropping below the pontoon and above the darkest clouds) would make an amazing image too. Best regards, Alain -
Simply superb! Amazing tones. Best regards, Alain -
Superb (composition, sharpness, light, colours, ...)! Best regards, Alain -
Nice work! Did you shoot this one from a bridge? Another boat? A drone? Best regards, Alain -
For sure a great image! The composition is perfect. Details and colours too. Best regards, Alain -
I like everything in this picture (composition, DOF, details, light, colours, contrast, expression, etc...), except one thing that bother me: I would show either more of the dress or no dress at all (but a crop would cut the pendant, which of course isn't a good idea). Great work, though! Best regards, Alain -
Thanks for your comments! Zbigniew: both bodies worked perfectly above -20°C. Below this temperature (it dropped to -27°C one night), what I could notice is a kind of "trembling" display of focus points in the viewfinder. Moving the selection of one focus point to another took more time than usual and was a bit complicated because of the "trembling" display. I didn't shoot any moving subject when temperature was < -20°C, so I'm not sure, but I don't think the autofocus performance were affected. Only the display in the viewfinder was, I would say. Concerning batteries: I had 2 batteries for each body, but despite the cold I never had to change a battery during the day because it got empty. -
He made me immediately think about Gandalf too. Great work! Best regards, Alain -
Impressive (and somewhat freeky) image! Best regards, Alain -

Only one word: wow!!! Best regards, Alain -
Great image quality, and a truly excellent composition with the 4 gooses in the background. Best regards, Alain -
Superb image! Great subject, nice light and interesting background. Best regards, Alain -
Great idea, superb image! -
A gorgeous image! Nicely composed. Wonderful light and tones, The water looks like melted metal! If I had to critique something, it would be the post-processing which is slightly too "strong" in my opinion, but that's a matter of taste of course. Best regards, Alain -
Thanks for your comments! Vjacheslav: it was shot from a zodiac during a recent photo boat trip in Svalbard. We were extremely lucky to be able to follow this young male polar bear along the shore during more than 1.5 hour in a fantastic evening light (although I would have dreamt of a more diffuse light). Such an encounter is not usual in the winter. At some point I had to use my 5D (full frame) instead of the 7D with the 500mm because I couldn't put the bear in the frame anymore... We were really lucky!

A truly beautiful image! I would only adjust the tilted horizon. Or would it remove some important elements of the scene? Best regards, Alain -
Beautiful composition and reflection! Best regards, Alain -
