fernando_b Posted November 6, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 6, 2007 Andreas, I like the way you captured this particular. Could you try to add some contrast? I guess it could become even better. Fernando. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andit Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted November 6, 2007 Hi Fernando, Thanks for your kind words. Have played around with the contrast a bit - you're right, works far better. Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 6, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 6, 2007 Andreas - I'm sorry we didn't have a chance to meet while we were visiting Hans and your delightful niece. Terrific capture, and with the added contrast, excellent. M8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andit Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted November 7, 2007 Hi Stuart, Thank you for your kind words. Yes this image was captured on an M8 with an old 135mm Tele Elmar. Hard to focus (even with the viewfinder magnifier) but when you get it spot on its terrific. I'm also sorry that we did not have the opportunity to meet in Windhoek. I'm also really distraught by the bad experiences that you had in Namibia. I have been very fortunate and have travelled to many many places in the world. To me the most spectacular place on earth is Namibia. I get so the hell in when people come to visit the country and are ripped off by these damned tour operators. It's sad to say that that sort of thing happens all the time, particularly in South Africa. Namibia was up to now pretty immune to such things. Down in this part of the world, people see visitors as "cash cows". Foreigners are charged triple and quadruple rates of what they should be paying. This really gets me. I'm sick and tired of these operators putting profit's ahead of service and ability. If you would like, I'll take this matter further for you and make sure the operator gets rapped over the knuckles.
