Limit between Spanish Banks and UBC’s Endowment Lands. It was a really interesting place to be, because while I was still in the city, I was able to point my camera towards an area where the sky was much darker, and I could see light pollution on the opposite side. I’ve seen city glows when I was far between small cities/villages, but never from within the limits of a major city.

Put the FE 28/2 to work today. AF was great, vignettes like crazy but sharp…but for $400, you can’t go wrong with this. Lenses used today were 28/2 (FE) on A7 and 50/1.4 (A), 85/2.8(A) using LA-EA4 on A7s.

Having an uncompromising work schedule means making compromises in photography, and as such I’ve become accustomed not only to shooting waterfalls in nontraditional (e.g., bright and sunny) conditions but also embracing the challenge that comes with this. I really didn’t think this image was going anywhere when it was sitting as a raw file in my archives, but thanks to the Sony I was able to pull up the shadows and render this high-DR scene with a single exposure. Yes, there are blown highlights on parts of the water, but I think any detail that might have been retained there would have done little to enhance the image (you may disagree, though, and that’s cool with me). wink emoticon Thanks for looking!

On our way to Reine it drizzled continuously, the light was pretty flat and it looked like we’re just going to crawl into our beds and start the trip the next morning. Just as we were checking in the cottages the rain let up a bit and the sky basically blew up.

I don’t get the rape zombie one. Man, HDR just took on a whole other meaning. Geez.
Thanks for sharing my picture! 🙂
Yannick
I really liked your photo, the colours and the atmosphere were really nice.
Thx a lot Jonathan
Lucky son to have a dad with good eyes 🙂
Nice picture.
hehe yeah thanks ^^
Felicitatioun! 😉
Well made HDR retaining a very natural look, nice light.
I just told my wife yesterday that I should pay that place a visit these days, not been there yet this year. Usually going there to test my material…
merci 😉
oh nice 🙂
Some really good stuff in there, thanks for putting that together admin
That first picture shows really bad quality. The vignette for example in top right corner, and the sky around the models head is all pixelated, I guess that’s the low quality kit lens for you. But my point being, why would you use it as the cover photo for the article!
Because it´s an insanely beautiful picture and technical aspect don´t matter as long as they don´t interfere with the artistic intention.
Thank you Charles
Welcome 🙂 You took that picture – wow, you´re my heroe – great shot – colors, composition, mood, model are perfect!
Thanks a lot man, Glad you like it 🙂
Jamie, as far I’m concerned, it is simply a beautiful shot.
Thanks Harvey!
The vignetting isn’t bad looking, and I suspect the pixelization around the head to be due to Facebook compression or to color saturation noise, not the kit lens. Sure, the IQ isn’t perfect, but it’s a nice photo.
Facebook compression is the worst. Here is the original version of the image https://www.flickr.com/photos/jamieblak/16043724613/
Is indeed a nice photo, great job on the shot. Kit lens no less. : )
Thanks so much 247th!
I also like it. Really nice colors.
The picture was awesome even with the compression. I didn’t even notice it because the picture it self was high quality.
Thanks a lot @waynesummers:disqus
Compression artifacts were the last thing on my mind while looking at this. 😀
Mr. Lams picture needs a correction of the horizon… it is heavily leaning to the right, isn’t it ? 🙂 If it is not intentional and I dont see any composition thats fits to a leaning horizion it is imcomplete post processing and should not be in the mix for picture of the week… sorry thats my opinion 🙂
This week SAR readers photos selection is in the top 3 if not the top 1 selection of the past years IMO :D….Amazing pictures, it’s hard to choose my favorite 🙂 The bride is breath taking woman, the landscapes are amazing…. This selection is making my day :).. Thanks a lot admin and have a nice week
Thanks for the feature guys!
Best reader photo set to date. Nice work all.
Eye of the storm, The Luxembourg Child, and the photobombing cyclist are my favorite of the bunch. Really great shots collectively..
thx 🙂
Guys, does it make sense to post more than one photo in a day or week?
Some weeks, I posted two photos. And some other weeks, none. I don’t think it’s a big deal, so long as you don’t flood the Facebook page.
Thanks!
