Yes, that was new to me.

Comments welcome.

HDR Peter ?
Thank you for posting again here
I like this blur thing in all the image. What puzzles me a bit is the sky, perhaps too bright, with little detail.
May be you can try to darken it a bit ...
However, I like the general composition and the variety of color nuances of greens and yellows.

Taken 9/26/10 just as the colors were starting to change here.
I bracketed 3 photos and did some minor adjustments for highlight/shadows/contrast.

No, not HDR. This is the 'Orton' effect, basically gaussian blur plus some other tweaks. The sky was bland, almost uniformly grey/blue.

Your image has a kind of mystery in it when the graduated filter on the bottom right and the opposite corner darkening the areas.
The density of the colors also contribute to that feeling with the predominance of the yellow/orange.
I also like the composition

The other day I was with someone who also has the 5D Mk2. I have the 5D.
We both found something wrong in this camera very disturbing and that is: when we look through the viewfinder and you are in very bright environments the settings at the bottom are impossible to see. What a shame. May be because the camera is designed to be a studio one.
But what the heck !
In my old 20D we can see clearly the settings which is pretty useful as we know. The same happens on my son's 7D. I don't know about the other models.
I had once a 350D where the setting were clearly visible.
What do you think ?

I haven't notoced any problem with the viewfinder in the 5D II. Sometime difficult with the Fuji GX680 but that is using a waist level finder. Here are two more from my trip to Hyde Hall.

After work, I wandered around midtown last night and took a few hand held night shots. I left my tripod at home.

I managed to capture a few non-blurry pictures. I did some minor editing of these pictures on my work laptop using picasa. I'll have to retouch these at home using PS CS4.



This one was blurred intentionally

Hi Peter,

Very nice pictures! I really like that blurry/glowing/ethereal effect, how did you achieve that?

[Antonio Correia]

Thank you Peter and thank you Paul for posting here

You both posted nice images

Thank you Vandenberg for posting here
Your images look pretty good and they all have some coherence which I think is an attribute.

Was it shot from a plain ? Silly question perhaps as it really looks so...
May be a little more brightness ?
Sundawn is very good for photography as it gives nice and beautufull colors.
I also like the composition and tones.
Thank you Robert for posting here again

Hi Antonio,

of course this is not a silly question. The photo was taken from a castle tower on the top of a much higher mountain near by. It was shot about half an hour bevor sunset.

Bye

I also thought that it could have been something similar. It looks like you were using a tele lens, so it could have been from far away.
And indeed it has...

Antonio, I think this is outstanding. It is almost biblical somehow (although my knowledge of the Bible is restricted to anything Charlton Heston starred in)

end of summer 2010

You have certainly captured summer for me...not that I can be found rolling around in the grass much these days.
