Thanks for the feedback. And this raises a question I have had for awhile. An artist friend of mine says for a painting to be “good” it must be effective viewed close up or far away, in other words, large or small. With photographs I feel scale may actually play a part. Seeing this photo on my computer in full resolution all the little details fall into place place and, for me the picture is a treat for the eyes. When I see it on my iPhone, not so much. So for a photograph to be “good” does it have to be appealing on whatever format it is being viewed? I invite anyone with an opinion on this to jump in!

An image often needs to work in postage stamp size format, UNLESS there is another reason for the viewer to stop, study, zoom in, and perhaps discover some value in the details. At least that's my experience. I am not sure an oil painting, watercolor, etc is the same as a photo. Maybe it depends on the style/school of the painting. This is a great topic to discuss over a few gallons of wine and some good food. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer911 Posted March 24, 2020 Share #704 Posted March 24, 2020 I needed a drive today after two hours of pulling upholstery staples from some door cards on a restoration I am working on. Took this old girl out for a run. OBVIOUSLY I have done some moderate filtering here but bottom line the Noct .95 fully open and M10 made this image possible with little fuss. Welcome, dear visitor!

It is always interesting to know how one achieves a certain look, but, at the end of the day, it is the “eye” which says “Yes! That is what it should look like”, that is important. And you, my friend, have a good “eye”. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer911 Posted March 28, 2020 Share #712 Posted March 28, 2020 Shot this yesterday at .95 attached to the M10. The resulting chroma/fringe was quite distracting so I applied the same filter I made for the Ferrari post a bit earlier. Welcome, dear visitor!

This image looks devoid of such... Oh yes, it will show a fringe though mostly when shooting into the light. It is one of the first things I'm looking to correct with this lens. Here no fringe appeared. Perhaps someone else knows whether or not an ND filter "tames" fringes. I use the ND filter almost all the time shooting in daylight. It's a must. The lens is quirky in the way that it reads light, which is why I LOVE this lens. Keeps me picking it up regularly. Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that information. I must order a ND filter—do you have a recommendation?. I always use a polarizing filter because of the reflections generated by glass and painted metallic surfaces on the cars I shoot. It's amazing how much variation there is in a shot when dialing through the range with a polarizer attached. The polarizer often turns an unacceptable image into gold. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
