I was judging your picture as presented without knowledge of any pp cropping. Perhaps it would be irksome in a bigger enlargement on your wall. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still debating trying the Panasonic 70-200 but that's not really long enough either. I must learn to be patient I know but having recently decided I'm all in with Leica and getting rid on my Sony and Canon long lenses I'm feeling a little bereft! I just need to remember why I purchased the CL in the first place, with its current lenses for travel and everyday it's a great package. Just the odd occasion when something longer would be nice.

Rob Hi Rob, had to quickly find an image so as not to be in trouble on this the image thread🤣. I keep looking at it... still think it's too much of a beast on the CL, although I should say I have never seen or handled one - if lens rental was easier here I would definitely try one - thanks.

Dippy, I agree completely that this is a fine photograph and completely reject your apology! There are no rules in photography that should not be broken.

I really like it too. IMHO it works because of the movement blur in the foreground, which creates dynamic action, while the contrasting sharpness in the background creates a scenic backdrop. I would just be worried if there is too much blur in the background as well. Otherwise I think it is excellent. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some practical problems though, the “seat” is about 3 meters up from the staircase below and I don’t think dogs are allowed at the royal palace.

Dippy Posted July 23, 2019 Share #6374 Posted July 23, 2019 21 hours ago, caigy said: The first two were at 18mm, the remaining 5 were at 11mm, all horizontal, and all were shot DNG at ISO 400. I really don't know why I changed focal lengths after the first two- I think I realized there was a colorful portion of sky I wasn't capturing. Normally, I would use a consistent focal length throughout. By the way, I also tried the camera's panorama function, but it's JPEG only and you can't really control it- I didn't care for the result. I prefer to make my own individual pictures and stitch them in post. Hmmm...I've never tried using different focal lengths, quite the contrary but there's nothing in the result to argue with. I agree about using the camera's function. Doing it manually gives you control over everything and a DNG file to process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
