vdb Posted June 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) M8 24mm Elmarit Butler and Marple After posting this I notice the quality is horrible...the JPEG conversion seems to have removed detail,sharpness,color saturation and range...sorry.

pop Posted June 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 7, 2009 Did you compress your image to a size < 244.1 kB before uploading? Otherwise, the forum will silently compress your image to a block of cinders. Please forgive if you already know that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickp13 Posted June 7, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 7, 2009 is there perhaps also a bit of cyan fringe? as if the elmarit were not 6-bit coded, or the lens recognition was off?? greetings from hamburg rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted June 7, 2009 You are correct Phillip, I did not compress to <244. Rick, the lens is 6 bit coded and I did use an IR filter....just a bad compression. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted June 7, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 7, 2009 Why don't you upload another version (< 244 kB) ? I like the original picture and would like very much to see an improved version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted June 7, 2009 Share #8 Posted June 7, 2009 It is indeed sharper. However, it is uncomfortably small for me (I am wearing multifocal glasses). Nice pasture, though, and lovely friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted June 8, 2009 Share #9 Posted June 8, 2009 Virgil - That's much better, and quite lovely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted June 8, 2009 Share #11 Posted June 8, 2009 Virgil, Your redo is quite nice. Superb colors, clarity and atmosphere. Have you tried to crop it a bit to bring your friends in closer ? May not work for you. Just a suggestion. At any rate, it is a lovely picture. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks Paul, I did not try that. I originally liked the sense of scale I chose but I see your point and will give it a try later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted June 8, 2009 Share #13 Posted June 8, 2009 This is a lovely image. Reminds me of Corot. I like the sense of scale and prefer this version. I agree with what was said before though about the size. It has to be bigger to be fully appreciated. Ece Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted June 11, 2009 Share #14 Posted June 11, 2009 Like a lovely painting ! Would look nice on any wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted June 11, 2009 Thank you all, here's a larger version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted June 11, 2009 Share #16 Posted June 11, 2009 Virgil Beautiful for sense of peace, colors, simplicity and - finally - size. I love it. Last nitpick: it seems that parts of the sky are bleached out. There would'nt be any more details in the original image, by any chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share #17 Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks Phillip...cannot recover that from the original...probably should crop that section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted June 11, 2009 Share #18 Posted June 11, 2009 Virgil, I like this a lot. While your point of having the scale in the origional post is certainly valid, I think this is much better. Great picture. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
