Marcel's once in a while daily or weekly 2014

[Marcel]

March 20th, it's been a while and it's still winter up here. So this morning, after nagging about the snow on the car I took my D7000, 105 macro with 32mm extension tube and tried to get some snowflakes. Just hard to do with the wind and the monopod.
But I got this one that's barely kind of OK.

Quite nice on the snowflakes Marcel!

I didn't realize that winter is extended on a yearly basis up North Marcel. Stay warm.

Pano done with D600 24-120 vertical shots stitched in photoshop cc

Same done with Fuji X10 (straight out of cam jpeg, slightly color corrected)

Seems the Fuji has some artifacts in the upper diagonals, but a lot less work. Very useful when quality is not the main factor.

The Fuji captured somewhat smaller angle (the difference between 24mm and 28mm, in terms of a Leica format's angle of view)...

Saturday March 22nd,

We went to have brunch with friends and this couple wanted to send a picture to other friends in africa. HDR to the rescue:

And some food shots with the small X10

Warm duck salad with quinoa

Cream pie

"...barely kind of OK", he says, while the rest of us marvel. What a cool shot!

March 25th. Back to work day for me. So, back to D600 with 24-120 for my piano persons' pics.

As usual, I like all of the piano persons!! Nice "frame" borders too Marcel.

March 27th, piano person for today. Not that great of a picture cause I was a little slow with the shutter speed and she kept closing her eyes, but look at that piano. A very finest example of book matched veneer on this Canadian made piano.

 

[Krs_2007]

Really love these piano shots Marcel.

Seems I must be getting old. I'm sometimes taking pictures of my dinner . But, it's still photography. I did notice that the depth of field is NOT very deep with the 120 at F-4.

March 28th. Well, it's still snowing and I'm left with my piano person of the day. So, while I was working alone in the hall at the local University, I thought I'd do something special. The piano person of today is no other than myself. Yup, a selfie done with the self-timer and the Fuji. Can't wait for all that snow to melt...

which software do you use for the frame Marcel? It adds character to the image.

Very cool shot, and quite amazing DOF considering the EXIF showing aperture of 2.2. Those seats in the background are pretty durn sharp, but still a nice blur in the front. OOC, or edits?
