Martin.

Great lighting in your photos Martin, wonderbaarlijk (wonderfull)

Damn good Martin I wd say, just love #4 feel the frost

ps) think I may have cropped a little from the bottom and right tho! (as she ducks)!!

I know what you mean, Lilly It was already cropped, but I'll guess there is some room for more.

Thanks for the nice words.



That's the best thing about this season. Sun (if there is any) low in the sky, even at noon, so lighting is so wonderful.

Martin.

Yeah I know but everytime I discussed a trip with someone it's always foggy that day
Already worked on the macro's and birdshots, maybe I should post them here just too see what you think of them and hopefully get some good C&C on them.
Like I said the light wasn't that great so used the flash a lot...

May I ask you where this was shot, it looks like a lovely place to go for a hike

That would be a long hike, even in Holland. It's near the city of Appingedam, at the far N-E of Holland. A good 4 hours drive from Dordrecht.
I live in Leermens, 6 miles from Appingedam.

Martin.

Yeah that's just a bit too far, don't you've something a bit closer
It must be a very lovely place to live there, so close to nature.
Did you crop or did anything to the images, in #8 you can really see how sharp that lens is. I wonder how it would compare to the D-FA 100mm

I went to the Gelderse Vallei two weeks ago near Amersfoort, it was a nice hike of 14km (7 miles) it took us the whole day to finish it though.

Well......The Biesbosch isn't that far, for you. Now.....that's what I call a beautiful place. But the truth is...., beauty worth of capturing is found everywhere. It's just a matter of seeing and if you are lucky a bit of good light. But you know that already

Picture number 8, as all the others is only raw processed, with minor tweaks in levels and curves. Just some capture sharpening applied.The last one was shot wide open at f3.8. It renders a nice bokeh. And indeed is very sharp wide open. It is with it's FOV of 135mm (cropped sensor) a favorite of mine. Focusses till 50 cm, and ideal for isolating small and medium objects. Wide open it separates the subject in a lovely manor from the background. It has a kind of 3 D feel over it, I really love.

Martin.

yeah the Biesbosch is nice and unique but wet though ^^;
will do it maybe next month, first Den Haag next week and the week after maybe the Biesbosch if it hasn't rained.
About the light the problem is that trees have leaves and walking in the woods you have a lot of trees and not so much light

yeah it looks like an amazing lens from those photos, never heared of it though
