...just as you mentioned, vignettes at 12mm. I like the polarizer but will perhaps send it back for a 'thinner' one. Any suggestions? Hmmm. It IS a nice polarizer. Nah! It would be dumb...

Thank You! Craig

Thank you very much. Very persuasive article! Craig

The B+W Kaesemann Circular Polarizer.... I'll be trying it out tomorrow up high in the hills...

I like to shoot in the mountains around 5000-7000 feet with a lot of water themes. With a polarizer, the colors are more saturated, the water is clearer, the glint of sun is gone. I've been...

I still haven't tried that but obviously it's time. Thanks. I'll look for one of the posts about it....

Very nicely focused. Any tips on doing this that you would share? Or are these the two keepers out of 100 shots... :D I'd like to focus like this, consistently. Craig

...laughing... Your version does look nicer, and isn't at all what it actually looked like. Hmmmm.

Shot with a used Nikon 12-24mm f/4 that I recently purchased. I'm pleased with it. $600. dpr://galleries/6058733916/photos/1979424

thanks Steve.

Thanks.... I wound up with a used 12-24mm f/4 nikon. I like it a lot.

Good, if expensive news. Post some pics...I and others would love to see Venice, through your eyes.

One more....? dpr://galleries/6058733916/photos/1979395

A little curve adjustment and a little added contrast in CNX2... Closer to what you wanted? I only looked at her face. Nice detail in your picture by the way. ...

To my eyes, (but they ARE 56 years old), the skin tones are kind of over-bright in the first couple of color photos? Perhaps a matter of personal taste.

Yes, I'm using a tripod. Set up so that I'm right over the water. Possibly too close, but it's raining too much here to get back out and test other thoughts today. I kind of like the...

Thanks to the both of you. Other pics where the camera was higher about the water have everything in good focus.... I will get back out and simply crank the f stop to see what happens when...

Thanks very much for your thoughts. It's also occurred to me that the lens has a minimum focus distance. I was probably violating that. I had my tripod splayed quite low in an effort to...

Here is a manually focused pic with my new (used) 12-24mm ... At first I was thinking I missed focus on the foreground water, but now I'm thinking I simply used to slow a shutter speed? All...

If you haven't repeatedly pressed the shutter release, try it. My new D90 'stuck' and that was Nikon's telephone advice. It worked. Craig
