Outstanding reflection photo. Love the sky. Nice job
ReplyDeleteSensational! I love the compositional quality of perspective in this. It's very Zen.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular. What a beautiful place. I didn't know what photomerge is and went and looked it up, quite amazing. I would have never known this was stiched, though I suspected this from the info you provided.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those photographs where I would love to step into the picture and stick my feet in the water and sit and look at the nice scenery.
Ben, I like this photomerge more than the previous one. This one, to my eye, has more rich and deeper tones and makes a stronger image but that is probably just my personal liking. I love the depths of the water in the shaded part. The trees and their deep shadowy parts are great too. This is a very lovely location.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned about 300 mm lens a couple of posts ago in your comment. You need to be careful with such a lond lens; mine is not good quality and is soft when zoomed right in. It tries to get too much from itself. For that size I think you need a wider objective lens and good glass.
Thanks, everyone.
ReplyDeleteI also like this image because the depth of colour. As you can see the sightly different exposure on each of individual shot this gives quite good dynamic range. I found if I overlap image a lot and takes more number of shot for merging, it gives a better result. May be better than using ultra wide angle? It may depends on what perspective I want to capture.
Gavin, thanks for advise on 300mm. More I thing about the new lens, I'm more lean to the wide angle 10-20mm or 17/18-50mm (F2.8) class for all around. I'm not in shape for new purchase right now, so you never know what comes when I actually throw my budget to it. But research is good and I can also lean a lot from this and find some solution for substituting with what I've got now.
