with creeping, clinging red leafed vines reaching into brilliant sunlight, casting silhouetted shadows ...
Captured on a building along Route 100 in Wilmington, Vermont.
Shot with the Olympus E-M1 with the Olympus !2-40mm f2.8 Pro lens.
I know I have took and posted a similar picture before but this was taken with my new Hi Tech 10mm 10 stop filter with a lee 0.6 ND grad so wanted to show everyone.
The sky was quite white at this point but the nd grad bought back some detail.
i did colour correct this but decided it actually looked nice with a cooler colour so changed it back slightly.
This is a 130 second exposure thanks to my new Hi Tech filter.
Back to work tomorrow so won't be on as much for a couple of days but will be getting out with my new stuff soon for some picture taking.
My camera was on my tripod and fired via cable release using bulb mode and timed with my watch.
Getting my photo mojo back so I've got lots of ideas springing back into my mind again.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for all your amazing support helping my last few pictures to reach explore and my last one making the flickr front page :)
look forward to seeing more of all your amazing pictures through 2012.
Hope you all had a great xmas and wish you all a prosperous New Year :)
I took this with my cellphone because I had a 500mm Prime lens on my Nikon and it wouldn't work. I asked this fisherman for permission to photograph him, he was extremely nice and cooperative. I told him he was a perfect model with all that equipment hanging off him for a trout fisherman and those sunrays and fog would be a big bonus. Not the resolution of a DSLR but I LIKE IT. I hope to see him again and give him a copy of this image. I've seen him many times before in this spot. It is worth enlarging just to see his vest of goodies, fishing net on his back, scissors near the fish and more. He was prepared and got there early ahead of the crowd.
I took this on June 29. I had a print made and gave it to him today 10/3. I had been carrying it in the car in case we saw him again. He was pleased.
The hurricane about this time last year wiped out part of this bridge when a huge old tree fell across it; it has been repaired. This island wildlife refuge is now full of piled up downed humongous old trees that fell during the hurricane. The ground was saturated before the hurricane even came and the wind took down many of the older trees.
Every lens has its potential and its limitations. This is particularly true for the Samyang telephoto (mirror) lens with a range that is on my Fuji X-Pro1 the equivalent of 450 mm. Like every very long lens, this one does compress the perspective and shows quite nicely that my village, Markyate, is situated in a valley and is surrounded by hills. This is the region of the Chilterns, a limestone plateau into which rivers have cut their beds. The village lies along the bed of the River Ver and we are looking from one side of the valley to the other. The problem with this lens is that when set to infinity, its resolution power is weak (as you can see). And that is why I prefer to use this lens for "close-ups", anything away by two to twenty meters. And for that purpose the lens is just fine.
