HI Richard. I am sure this would look spectacular full size. Downsizing (5x5 reduction here for 365) does add some glow at the high contrast edges, brought on by the aggressive tone mapping I am sure. I obsess over these too much I guess, but it always is the most work for me to clone them out when I do this sort of thing for presentation here. :(
I see you bought yourself a D750? I've held off for a few persnickety reasons. Thinking about really going to the dark side with the Sony a7RII though, new leader in the DxOMark scoring race, beating out the D810. But they'd better get over this nonsense of only lossy-compressed-raw, so I guess I'll procrastinate yet again. Maybe even wait for the next Nikon FF if it uses the BSI Sony sensor.
@frankhymus I'm viewing on a 27" monitor Frank and to me the edge glows are well within acceptable bounds. I any case, they don't distress me in what is obviously meant to be a highly stylised image.
We've had a conversation already about the D750 which I've had for a few weeks now... I'm quite happy with it and it teams up well with the D600 and the D610 giving me 16mm - 200mm versatility at f/2.8 without the need to change lenses. My latest toy - as you may have noticed - is the Fuji XT-10... and I love it!
@graemestevens When we moved here permanently I brought three bikes with me but all of them exceeded the French power limitations so I was not able to register them here... so I reluctantly sold them back in the UK. As each birthday came along I refused to accept that me and bikes were history (I've been a biker since I was 16) and this year I will turn 71. We sold an investment property earlier in the year and Mrs S - God love her - said, "If you're going to have another bike... now's the time to do it.!" A couple of weeks later I was (and am) the happy owner of a Suzuki GSX1250FA .
@vignouse Sigh...the closest I ever came to a bike was in my student years when I had a Honda 50 step through (guffaw) that ran on $2 fuel a week. Not a bike at all really, but I always wanted to go large...
Glad you are pleased with the X-T10. I'd have thought the Sony a6000 would have worked better for you though. And at the same price point, here in the USA anyway.
Setting aside the camera discussion, which I find quite fascinating, this shot is really lovely. The textures and lines are superb, especially on the water.
This is spectacular! The long exposure did wonderful things to sky and sea reflections. You're inspiring me to get my tripod out -- it's been awhile since I've done these.
@frankhymus Yes the A6000 would have comlemented my Nex 6 & 7 but I'm sort of holding out for a A7000! I bought the XT-10 to complement my X-Pro 1 and it addresses many og the latter's shortcomings.
This is a fab shot I especially like the water and reflections. I read you have the Fuji X-T10, I purchased the Fuji X-T1 as I just couldn't lug the canon + lens around any more, my back is completely knackered thanks to gardening work so I took the plunge and haven't looked back.....what a weight off my shoulders!
@jo13 Thanks Jo - I tend to be a bit of a gadget freak so I do like new 'toys' to play with. I already had an X-Pro1 and some prime lenses so couldn't resist adding the XT-10 when it came out. I have to say that I'm delighted with it, it makes a great carry anywhere camera and I love the image quality it produces.
The water is like glass. Gorgeous reflection and beautiful clouds fantastic capture.
