Doesn't matter what the lens or the camera for that shot was ... it's gorgeous Jack. :)

 

You are right it doesn't ** really ** matter. But it is kinda intriguing. Like a great food dish, you kinda wonder what ingredients were used, which recipe was followed, was their a secret ingredient.

 

I don't really care which camera, but which lens is really intriguing.

Thanks guys -- it is one of my better shots ;)

Okay, let's have some fun. Here's a teaser clue, but understand I cheated: The lens I used for that image was a 150mm -- Nikkor... LOLOL!

 

Cheers,

Guy, Jack, Rob: A major round of applause and thank-you for taking us along on your trip! I hope the burden of all of us (plus the ghost of Ansel Adams) dogging your every footstep wasn't *too* huge a responsibility. :-)

Aw c'mon Kurt, get into it. Let me show you:

 

If that shot was taken with a 5D, then the colours are a bit flat, and it is too soft and over-sharpened at the same time. It has no magic, and the bokeh is ugly, unless a Leica lens was used. Your mama is ugly.

 

If, however, it was taken with the M8, then the colours are gorgeous, the sharpness is astounding with no sharpening done, the bokeh is amazing, and it has a real je-ne-sais-quoi to it, magic! Your mother is very charming and I can hardly believe her age.

 

If it was a DMR, then everything is as with the M8, but slightly less so.

 

However, if it was taken with an MF camera and a digital back, then this picture alone is proof as to why these cameras still exist, as you could never have gotten such subtle gradations with even an 1Ds2. But I have to say this: my M8 could have done that.

 

Other brands need not apply to having taken this picture.

The landmark image from the trip Jack (so far).

 

Hope that frost is 'real'. :)

 

A pleasure to view it.

 

Many thanks to you all for sharing your outdoor life and the commentary. It made me wish I was somewhere else.

LOL...and that's rare for me when reading forums. Great post....I love it.

 

BTW, I'll wager the picture was made with a 5D.

 

Cheers,
