albert Posted May 28, 2019 Share #5762 Posted May 28, 2019 Heading for the lake cabin. Can't wait to experience some new sights after our vicious Winter. 18-56 The cabin is in the heart of beautiful lake country and is 162 miles away. My home-red x My cabin-blue x.

Must be spoiled by my midwest US upbringing but that is the worst soil I've ever seen. Light orange, dry, and cracking. I'd move to a new farm far away. Your storm front is a wonderful photograph and perhaps it will save the farm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soil around here is predominately a mix of clay and sand. When I dig in my garden there is sadly no sand, just clay! But it doesn't seem to stop the farmers. This area is heavily agricultural and already there's grain growing in all the fields. The ground may be cracked but look at the crop he's growing - it's lush. The really amusing part is that this field runs up to the edge of the narrow road. There is no pavement (sidewalk in your language) so I pulled my car up onto a patch of that cracked earth to get it off the road. It was nowhere near his crop and one wheel was still on the road. After about 10 minutes of taking pictures I came back to the car to find the farmer hanging over the fence of the house next door scowling at me and telling me 'this is not a lay-by you know'. I apologised and drove off but I'm not sure exactly what damage he thought I was doing to that parched soil. The rain was fleeting - I don't think it would have done anything to improve the condition of those cracks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Just to let you know: My wife and I spent ten days driving around Wales two Autumns ago. We just loved the whole experience except I kept getting flat tires from hitting my left front tire on your sharp curbs. Also, I was very dangerous while trying to manage round-a-bouts with zero left hand side of the road driving skills. Even though my DNA contains a healthy dose of Welsh within the spiral it didn't help my driving.

Will try again) Most impressive. Blocking filter? I had to check your comment twice before I got it. LOL. Almost went to see an osteopath. Yes autocorrection is sometimes amazingly funny. I indeed used a 10 stop filter in the 18mm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted May 29, 2019 Share #5777 Posted May 29, 2019 I wondered whether the remote app could cope with Raw files.An early discussion reflected frustration and problems with the special app. I asked about your methodology with remote shooting but guess my question got lost somewhere or other. I would welcome notes on your methods used to obtain such lovely close and detailed results with the tele-zoom. I am not into hides etc as a way of capturing wild birds. But from my kitchen window - maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would welcome notes on your methods used to obtain such lovely close and detailed results with the tele-zoom. I am not into hides etc as a way of capturing wild birds. But from my kitchen window - maybe? There really is nothing magic about it.........................it's all down to the lens.............oh and a little patience. The lens is the phenomenal TL 55-135mm, in over 60 years of photography i've never ever come across one like it.....and....no Image Stabilisation, either in or out of the camera. The images it produces are so good that one can crop just the centre of the image to get the CU's. I'm no PP wizard, they are just my normal RAW processing in LR6 and exported as a jpg. The whole unprocessed image is shown below. The camera was tripod mounted, remotely operated, 13.5 ft from the bath poking through the vertical blind of my patio door. One very important thing I'd like to add is........... the shot was taken through TWO sheets of double glazing glass...and still such amazing IQ. The Robin shot was hand held, RAW, same PP procedure.......the CU is 100% crop.....same lens. Point of interest.....to acquire the 55-135mm I PX'd an extensive Olympus E-M1 Mkll system, part or with was the fabulous Oly 12-100mm f4 PRO lenses, which at the time I considered the best lens I'd ever owned. Mind you, coupled with the E-M1's IBIS it did offer 5 stops of IS. My CL+55-135mm with NO IS of any sort knocks spots of the Oly 12-100....IMVHO. Point of interest 2 ....The TL 18-56 is no slouch either Anything else, please ask. Welcome, dear visitor!
