Hadrian's Wall

I now have shots from roughly the same spot taken with my DMR/19 Elmarit-R, my Nikon D700/28 Elmarit-R and the M240/24 Elmarit-M

 

This was taken today with the latter.

 

Probably one of my favourite spots in England.

These are all stunning! Different moods from the same landscape.

 

I can see why you like this part of the world.

So it is not the camera but the subject and the photographer Nothing new there. Wonderful composition makes for three superb shots.

[stuny]

All three are terrific.  #2 is my favorite.

The mood of the first one is most authentic for me, great shot !

Talking about mood, I go for #3

Hello Andy,

 

Nice photos, all.

 

Best Regards,

I can see why you keep returning Andy, such a rewarding location. Each of your three examples have a unique quality.

 

Thanks for sharing

I think I prefer the first -- the lighting, the processing perhaps, I'm not sure what, but I prefer it. On a related note, just this w/e I finished reading Marguerite Yourcenar's extraordinary MEMOIRS OF HADRIAN. Not an easy read by any means but a fascinating 240-page monologue which seeks to resurrect Hadrian's interior life, his consciousness, his imagination. And of course it touches on H's wall... You might enjoy it if historical fiction is your cup of tea.

All are quite wonderful, if choosing a favourite it would be the first one for no more reason than that it appeals to me most.

What an incredibly lovely landscape, your feelings for it shine through.

One of my fave places too...I have very similar shots. Very nice.

Liking all three images especially 2nd and 3rd...with 3rd being my favourite with splash of light and red from the heather/ferns.

magnificent series!

Each picture is an image of a different aspect of the subject. This is more telling a different story rather than mood only.

Very nice Andy....two for me stands out due to the blue sky  

[A miller]

The first is my favorite.  The colors are most natural (to me).  I don't like the over processed digital look of the second and the third is nice but not as well exposed as the first.  Lovely depth.

Andy, as I may have noted before, landscape is your Raison d'être and your current offering reinforces that.

 

As for comparing the three versions, maybe it is no accident that the first (to me) is the most appealing. I wonder is it because of the superb rendering of the DMR? I think many would agree.

 

I am assuming the marked colour differences are mainly due to lighting on the day, as may be evident from the skies.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[andybarton]

Thanks everyone

 

Just for the record, the order shown here is

 

M240

Nikon D700

DMR

 

The second, in a b&w version, is on my study wall.

 

They were all taken at different times of the year and times of day too, hence the difference in colour rendering.
