Thank you for checking out my picture. I was inspired by the bright colours of Andy Warhol's work. It is bright and punchy and I think perfect for summer. I hope you like it. Please let me know what you think and view in Lightbox for the best effect.
This has been watercolored, poster edged and saturated. Other than the saturation, I did not change the color at all.
A long afternoon of rain and thunderstorms has left the autumn leaves on Cumbres Pass both literally and figuratively fully saturated. K-36 #487 drops downgrade with a short freight extra through an almost surreal scene near Labato, NM.
This is part of my glass themed series.

I have taken more photos but they don't feel or look right, so I've gone back to this one.
Dawson Falls in Egmont national park
Shot with a Canon New Zealand 5Ds and 11-24mm f4L lens. More on this epic combo later in the post.
Not long back from another great One of A Kind Adventure, this time around the North Island hutting up some spectacular spots.
One of those locations is the majestic Dawson Falls in Mt Egmont National Park. Its an easy walk in but we had heavy rain for the whole time we shot the falls, making it difficult to get the shot I wanted but a lot of lens wiping and shooting got me exactly what I was aiming for.
We had that much heavy rain and spray/mist from the falls I used a panoramic technique to shoot 3 frames for this, overlay them and then blend out the water drops.
I love the ultra wide perspective the 11-24 gives for this, its about 20% overlap in total so the final image is 11,000 pixels wide. So much detail and resolution from the combo with the 50mp 5ds!
The 5Ds and 11-24 have to go back to Canon asap and I will be really sorry to see them returned!
The 5Ds has impressed me more than I thought it would. I've used a 5dmk3 several times and knew the autofocus was sweet but hadnt really shot one for a long time.
Got to say compared to the 6d its chunky and solid, I've always loved the ergonomics of the 5d series and its so simple to configure and use.
But what makes it special? Settings wise its got an awesome built in Mirror lockup mode that you can set to always happen, you can pick from 1/8th of a second up to however long you want. This gets you very stable shake free images. I usually shoot in live view mode so MLU isnt needed but often its easier to compose in the viewfinder so this is a real benefit.
And at last it has a bulb mode timer. You can dial in any exposure time you like whilst in bulb mode, no need for a remote release!
Also has a built in intervalvometer which I am interested in (usually use moco devices to control) but not had a chance to use yet.
But really you buy this bad boy for the files. 50 megapixels of data. Raws are up to about 90meg and so long as the idiot behind the viewfinder has done their job well enough there is so much detail in the images its incredible. Compared to my 6d's 20mp you can keep zooming in almost endlessly it feels.
The files at base ISO are surprisingly clean too, I didnt get a chance to shoot astro with it which is a shame, wont be quite as good as a 6d but I'm sure it would be usable.
I know all the reviews will say it lacks dynamic range compared to some other cameras , I'm sure it does, but I've not found many situations where a couple of stops extra has made so much difference, without having to blend or use filters. It does have clean shadows you can push a respectable 2-3 stops which is usually all I need.
All that and 5fps with the 5d's stunning autofocus system, its nice having more than 1 usable point!
So overall I am very impressed with this absolute beast of a camera, though for me I would pick the 5Dsr for the extra detail without the aliasing filter (needed for fashion, architecture etc) . Nature doesnt have many repeating patterns that the AA filter helps with.
So the other half of the combo.. The canon 11-24mm f4 L lens. This is the widest zoom lens you can get your hands on. Its apolitically wide. So wide , especially in portrait orientation the first thing you notice is your feet.
Framing things with this lens at 11mm is a challenge. And that is for someone who shoots wide all the time. In the right place, like this falls, its astounding. I have a few other shots that will show you were it works also but take it from me, it needs to get really INTO a scene and almost on top of your foreground to make the most of it.
Focus is interesting, for landscapes on the scale the 1M mark is right next to the infinity mark. Which means you can be very cavalier with focus as hyperfocal is almost always the case. The outlier here is when things are right at the MFD and you might need to focus stack.
Resolution is astounding though as is build quality. It makes use of all of those 50 megapixels of the 5ds. Contrast and colour really pop have to say I love this lens! The downside for me is filters, I love using filters and this would need LEE Filters 150mm system or the NiSi Filters 180mm systems which are huge. Though it does take rear mounted gel/wratten filters if you just want long exposures.

Thanks for the kind comments!

hyatt union square
san francisco, california
Some streets in Japan, at certain times of the day, seem like theatre sets, the lighting, the diminutive size of buildings and streets, the 'artificial' look of things, even the wires overhead creating a feeling of being closed in, and on stage. I rarely manage to capture it in a photograph, but I came close here.
A return to Seaham, Chemical Beach on the Durham coastline.
Conditions made for photography. I opted for my small stopper in an effort to capture the movement of the waves coupled with my new polariser. I'm pleased with the saturation of colour here, I was less pleased with the saturation of the North Sea in my wellies!
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.
CANON FD 20MM 1:2.8, Edited in Affinity, tone map Rovanda, further edits in Photoscape X Pro where I overdid the saturation trying to recover the greens in the trees. Oh well, I'll try again when I have more time. I was happy with the light on the bay anyway.
One very wet Ullswater shore....but the colours glowed, especially that yellow ash tree and the fallen beech leaves!
I hope I've managed to catch the feel of it.
I got saturated too, despite being in my wet weather kit and under the umbrella a good deal of the time. Lenses fogged up and filters got smeary....but I enjoyed it. ;o)
Same shot as previous, with the Vibrance and Saturation increased to highlight the surface colours of the moon :)
Photograph of a watercolor paint palette my children use. Processed using something similar to cross processing E-6 in C-41 chemistry.
This is my first try at processing colour saturation of the moon.
Colours are amplified during processing. The colours represent various mineral and iron deposits found on the moon. Blue hues reveal titanium rich areas, orange and purple colours show regions relatively poor in titanium and iron.

This is Þjófafoss, as it was seen last night. The conditions for photography were perfect...
