Stunning Photo ^
Didnt you have a sigma before? I bet you will have fun with that! :nevreness:
Yep, sold to a mate cheap. First impressions between the two is the Canon has slightly faster AF and more vibrant so I might have to start de-saturating my images from now onDidnt you have a sigma before? I bet you will have fun with that! :nevreness:
Definitely pushing 25kg I'd say. I was really happy when I pulled on my pack but soon realized I was yet to strap on my tripod, snowshoes and water!How heavy were your packs??? were you able to skimp on the water?
It's 6 x 17 medium format and takes 120 film producing transperincies of 56 x 168mm ('positives' instead of negatives). The result is phenomenal image quality that can be blown up to billboard size with little loss in quality. Really does put 35mm digital to shame bu t it's 11 times the size afterall...What is that pano camera and does it run off film or digi?
I may be biased to macro, but I really like this. The only criticism I would have is that it would look way better if it were brighter, say with a yellow bg or something. Nice timing too! I've tried water drops before and the timing is far from the easiest thing.I shot this tonight for some fun - not really sure what to think of the result.

I was using a very cheap ebay softbox, and a sheet of polystyrene underneath, reflecting some light up into her face. I couldn't actually use a rimlight because the ebay light requires a sync cord, and my nikon D90 doesn't have a sync port so i have one of those hotshoe adapters which does not allow me to use any other triggers etc.Pretty nice for a very simple setup. I'm guessing this was just one light? Speedlight + umbrella perhaps?
A couple of pointers: Get in a little closer and crop out the dead space at the top. The composition is a little boring at the moment and it'd be a really nice portrait if her head took up more of the photo. Also, do you have another flash by any chance? Adding a really subtle rim light by placing a flash directly opposite your main light to light her hair and separate her from the background would really improve the shot.
Apart from that, good work.
let me be the first to say, this is really cool!
Digging this shot rabatt!!!!**snip**
i know this wont be everyones thing but i have been playing around and since i dont really have anyone else to take photos of...
I like the photo! I think you would have been better off going to coronet peak, and that noodle place is dodgy! We got pad Thai there and it was like chilli bean noodles...Hey all, another infrequent post comin' atcha.
I recently visited Cardrona ski resort in New Zealand for a snowboarding trip with the girly, but after eating some bad chicken at Cardrona's noodle bar on the first day we both ended up rather sick and I missed out on taking a stack of photos I'd hoped to get. Managed to scrape through with this, thus far aside from the normal touristy ones.
Not too sure what I think of it, thoughts?
