abrewer Posted June 21, 2006 Share #2 Posted June 21, 2006 Fantastic shots Wilfried! You really know how to make that DMR sing. Thanks for sharing. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted June 22, 2006 Share #4 Posted June 22, 2006 These are the sort of images that should have the digital nay-sayers reconsidering their positions. Excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted June 22, 2006 Share #5 Posted June 22, 2006 Andy, Matter of taste. Large format-looking digital is excellent for brochures, particularly when the capture is as clean as this or when high ISO's are an issue. You don't get the same tactile quality from the newer glass that you do with film. Each medium has its uses. Your lighthouse shot would not look the same with a DMR. Horses for courses. BTW, this is NOT an invitation for an arguement. Things have been very civil over here so far. I dread the arrival of the mob on the 30th... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 22, 2006 Share #6 Posted June 22, 2006 I am not looking for an argument either, William. But... These are either really nice shots of a proper motorcycle, or they are not. In my humble opinion, they are. The fact that they were recorded with a DMR as opposed to film is irrelevant. I don't think that they could have been improved if the film back had been left on and the shots taken "traditionally". In fact, I suggest that if Wilfried had said these were taken with Astia, it would have been difficult to call "Foul!" I am really looking forward to seeing the results from the M8/MD/whatever, come the autumn. Digital is coming of age, I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

volkerhopf Posted June 24, 2006 Share #8 Posted June 24, 2006 Wilfied I like the title of your post - and also the photos very much. I think discussions on pro digital or against should really be a thing of the past! Regards Volker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lll Posted June 24, 2006 Share #10 Posted June 24, 2006 Hallo Wilfried, die Bilder sind einfach gut: prächtige Details, gut umgesetzt mit gezielt gesetzter selektiver Schärfe, gut geführter Blick trotz teils recht unruhigen Hintergrunds. Klasse! Dabei ist es mir so was von Wurscht, mit welcher Technik Du das hinbekommen hast. Erst recht, ob da vor der digitalen Aufbereitung noch ein Film im Spiel war oder nicht. Allein das Bild, der Bildeindruck zählt - und der wird hier an keiner Stelle durch technische Parameter gestört, die sich ungewollt in den Vordergrund drängeln würden.

stuny Posted June 24, 2006 Share #11 Posted June 24, 2006 Wilfried - Lovely colors and compositions. If the manufacturer were to publish an aesthretic annual report these photos deserve to be in it. Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth_c Posted June 24, 2006 Share #12 Posted June 24, 2006 A great set of images. The last I think is my favourite for its slightly abstract feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob3rt5 Posted June 24, 2006 Share #13 Posted June 24, 2006 It's my favorite too. Selective DOF is put to very good use. The color saturation is wonderful and the contrast and sharpness are tack on. Your composition is also quite good. Thank you, it's a pleasure to see nice work this early in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted June 24, 2006 Share #14 Posted June 24, 2006 Hello Volker, One might think so. I expect you lads from the German Forum are more aware of the differences between both media. Last I looked, there was still much tiring contention on the English-speaking Forum. When I get home this PM, I'll post a shot with the 75/2 on 100 UC which you can compare for the differing qualities between the media. It will be good to have the participation and input from the English-speaking German Forum members IMO. It might even keep the tone on this side a bit more polite! I used to visit your side with some frequency because the standard of the photography was sometimes better. BTW, my German is very "rusty" and I can barely read the comments on your side; FORGET trying to post a reply!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
