Advertisement Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Hi k-hawinkler, Take a look here Santa Fe Ski Area. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pauledell Posted January 29, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2012 K-H, Another wonderful shot with the composition, tones, detail and clarity. Has there been any skiing season with the lack of measurable snow? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted January 30, 2012 Paul, Thank you. Yes, ski season started early this year as we got some early snow. K-H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted February 2, 2012 One can also extend the Leitz Telyt 560 mm f/5.6 and turn it, from an angle of view point, into an equivalent 35 mm FF format of 235.2 mm focal length. From a distance of close to 30 miles, I pointed the extended lens into a part of the Santa Fe Ski Area, as indicated by the upper right hand corner of the previous image, and got this shot. [ATTACH]298616[/ATTACH] Of course, this only works well with minimal presence of turbulence in dry air. In the US Southwest, with its dry climate, it is not unusual at all to be able to see for a hundred miles horizontally. K-H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted February 5, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 5, 2012 and here was me, thinking about motion blur or just plain not getting your focus right 30 miles, that's ... from my house to the North Sea ... and I really wouldn't want to get on a bike to get there ...

k-hawinkler Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted February 5, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Marco, Virgil, Many thanks for your comments. So, I thought it would be fun to add another factor of 2 and find out what I get. Here is an image from yesterday late afternoon (I am afraid the full size image looks really better but can't be shown here). [ATTACH]299093[/ATTACH] Best, K-H.

k-hawinkler Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted February 5, 2012 Here is an image showing the Santa Fe Ski Area to the right and Santa Fe Baldy to the left at slightly over 13,000 feet. I shot it last May with an M9 and a Tele-Elmar 135/4. [ATTACH]299099[/ATTACH] The town in the foreground is White Rock, located next to the pretty deep Rio Grande Canyon. K-H.

allamande Posted February 5, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 5, 2012 K.-H., These are beginning to blow my mind! Stop the torture Honestly, I have a feeling next time you are going to show someone skiing down one of those slopes. Amazingly good. Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
