Could anyone please advise?

What sort of operating range can one reasonably expect from this remote?

What circumstances could affect that range?

Many thanks,

Roger.

P.S., I do enjoy, when I can, arranging the composition so that any lines leaving the image do so into the corners, rather than somewhere, sort-of , along the edge.

Thanks, chaps.

I'd gone out to snap the birds that usually hang around a group of barns, near-ish home.
None were around, however, so went for a car-wander around.
Only had the K5 with Sigma 150-500 with me, hence some quite compressed perspectives, Nigel!

Couldn't ignore the power lines, they were most dramatic against the fast moving clouds.

I, too, am o.k. with the contrasting contrast levels in 2. That's how it was & that's why I stopped & snapped!

The texture of the field across the valley stopped me in my tracks! On inspection back at home, though, the colours weren't up to much, so did a conversion in Elements 11 ended up pretty pleased with it. It came out a wee bit infra-red looking, I thought......

The chinook just happened to be passing, it seemed not to say hello!


Thanks again for the interest shown.

Roger.

Thanks for the info., Rob.

You probably have a better screen than I, I can't make out any halo, so I'm quite satisfied with that aspect of the image.

The double dark/light/dark detail on the top of the lid is actually light hitting the casting on the edge of the lid, as was.

Thanks again for your guidance,

Roger.

Cheers, Rob, for the helpful comments.

Two points...
First, I'm aware of processing "halos", but can't see one/any on the bottom edge of the tank lid;

& secondly, could you please tell me about "gradient reversal" & how it has manifested itself in my image, on the top edge of the lid.

Thanks for looking & for your patience,

Roger.

Cheers, Barrie.

Rock & a hard place, indeed!

It's a pretty big crop anyway, any more would really blow any i.q. there may be clean out the water!

Fascinating landscape up on the Plain, could have done with better weather.
No change there, then.

Again, thanks for looking,


Roger.
