Marcel, this one just doesn't look like a image that you would have taken.
What makes you think this way about this image Jeff? Maybe you mean this doesn't look like an image that I would post... But you know that, in order to get the special shot we and others like so much, many more are never shown.
It's funny though because I posted it on FB and it got more positive comments than some other shots that I thought were better looking.
It just doesn't look up to the quality I'm use to seeing in your images. As far as face book goes I don't think that there are many people on there that have a clue about what they are looking at. I have seen pictures posted on FB that are outstanding get little or no likes and others that are outright bad get tons of likes. I think most of the people on FB have no idea what they are looking at.
This picture just doesn't look like one of your usual great pictures to me. I really like your work, just not much on this one.
To me it looks a little too dark compared with what I'm used to seeing from you, Marcel.
Just... wow. The tiny intricacy and detail of things never ceases to amaze me, and you captured this perfectly!
And I've been eyeballing this dandelion seed head, too! It's an amazing image, Marcel!
I have to re-post this image since I've been told and I agreed that it lacked contrast and was a tad dark. So here's my corrected version. But I'm not happy because I just couldn't get enough depth of field. The windy situation just prevented me to use a slow shutter speed and the shot itself was tuff enough to take.
So here's a second trial.
So here's a second trial.
I know, but don't worry, I kept the nefs. It's just that the jpegs looked so good that I saved myself work and just posted them. Now if I was going to print, I'd certainly use the raw files.
Nice photos, Marcel! Was the top one taken with an older 105mm lens? I noticed the flare, and newer lenses don't always create such sharp corners in the aperture blades like this one has. That's one thing I like about older lenses.
Yes, it is an older lens without VR or OS (for Sigma).
This monday morning's weather forecast is for rain. So I suspect this is probably my last apple flowers pictures for this year. I used the "Lens Baby" with the 5.6 aperture. Some close-ups with the 12mm extension ring with the Lens Baby.
