So smooth and full of energy Retreating Waves - Another one in the seascape sequence, but this time with Fujifilm Reala Hasselblad, 80mm, Reala Regards, Ramesh This is an amazing documentation worthy of an Oscar nomination!

The only issue with the lens is that it requires a VERY steady base; even then, a strong wind or other vibrations from the ground can throw off the crispness of the (otherwise perfect) sharpness. It was vey windy that evening and I had to wait for lulls in the gusts to take my exposures Adam, I think I mentioned how well you use the SWC - add the Superachromat to that list. This is stunning. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted January 22, 2017 Share #26503 Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Here is another photo from the Top of the Rock observatory (from last Sunday) @ sunset. It is in a way a homage to Ektar, which so many people say has a mind of its own when it comes to color rendition and tends to be like a wild horse. I agree with this, particularly when ND grad and other lens filters are introduced (which preserve otherwise blown out color-schemes in the sky). Of course, this photo may not sit well with film ultra-purists such as Henry . However, I think that with certain widely-known and photographed scenes such as this there is something to be said for adding a little twist and originality - this time care of Ektar.

Hassy 503cw, 80mm Planar, Ektar ESB from the Top of the Rock1.jpg Adam, I don't think your reference to ultra purists is restricted to film users. Once you realize that photography is never objective, points of view become more nuanced. In your case, any picture of the scene is already, by the very nature of photography a distortion of reality. I suspect your intention is to change the impression in a way to make the scene on the image to represent a similar impression that you felt when you saw it (or that you think it should have or give). This leads you to a choice of film, filter processing and post-processing. In my view pictures like this are successful when you don't notice the processing, in your example I think its ok (the overall impression fits, however, I don't think the colours of the sky looked quite like that. But then, that's just my view and there are many others...). This is probably why I often prefer B&W pictures - less opportunities to manipulate...

christoph_d Posted January 22, 2017 Share #26507 Posted January 22, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is another picture I took on the Staten Island ferry. I was really looking forward to photographing aboard this iconic commuter ferry when I was in New York late last year, and it did not disappoint. Not just for the interesting people riding it, but for the whole architecture of the boat and the wonderful atmosphere of it all. "Alone Together" M6TTL, Elmarit 28mm, K2, Tri-X I much enjoy this picture. The expression on the faces of your two main protagonists is exquisite.

I am not sure I am quite following the connection between the point that every photograph is by definition a distortion of reality and the point that the rendition of a sky needs to be the way it looked in person (or that is how I intended it)... Seems a little incongruous, but perhaps it is too late for me as I haven't quite hit my Sunday yet I attached a tweaked version that warms up the foreground a bit.... My only regret of this is that I wish it weren't so hazy, which is very odd for a cold winter evening... Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I fully agree with the point about how even the most successful photographs have color renditions that distort reality. Just look at this very well known photograph taken by Peter Lik from the Top of the Rock. This photo hangs quite large in the lobby of my office building and I am sure the building owners paid well north of $10K-20K for it.. And I guarantee you the sky didn't look like that! I have the benefit of viewing a full res version of this close up multiple times per day and I just cannot get over how unrealistic and amateurish the color rendition appears. 9 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

In this way he has become one of the wealthiest "photographers" ever, having (according to his website) sold over $500 million worth of product. Doesn't seem quite right, does it?
