Not sure why, but sometimes Lightroom seems to export jpgs darker than the edited raw files look in Lightroom. I've lightened-up by Channelling Todd image a little as the original looks a bit dark once I posted it (and I cannot edit the original post).

How far does the sensor shift compared to using the lens? I've never tried the sensor shift. K.

I thought I would try a slightly different viewpoint on the famous statue of John Betjeman at St Pancras station in London.

Feb 23: What's up there? par Kris Lockyear, on ipernity

As I mentioned over the on the US fora, I use this lens a great deal. One can even hand hold it in live view using the levels on screen to get the uprights upright (although, obviously, much better on a tripod!). It is also really good for stitching photos when everything won't fit. It is more useful on my film cameras (as it was designed for 35mm), so I guess K-1 users would like it even more...

This one is in nicer condition than mine.

At the Taylor-Wessing Portrait Prize exhibition this year they featured photographs by Todd Hido. As I liked his portraits, I bought a book of his photographs ("Intimate distance") to discover his portraits were quite a departure from his usual style. One of his earlier collections was called "House Hunting" which is a series of quite ordinary US houses photographed at night, with one prominent lit window. He uses a unusual, unrealistic colour palette. As I had failed to take an image earlier today for my "Single in February" challenge on the US fora, I thought I would channel Todd and take an image in the spirit of his work. This image was created by using five bracketed images so that I could get both the window without blown highlights, but also the shadows of the trees in the moonlight. Whether it is art, I have no idea, but it is certainly in the right spirit!

Not yet I wouldn't have thought, someone must want it though.[/quote]Ah yes, must get a thing. I'm still hoping my Pentax K can be fixed...

I especially like no 4. Very nice set indeed. K.

The last three are great, especially 4 and 6. Number 2 has the focus on the yellow protectors behind the subject.

I'm always envious of people who are good at photographing people.

Cheers, Kris.

I've seen the outside of that building. I've been up to Bradford Uni for a couple of things over the last year.

What is?
