These are some river valley pictures taken from a mountain here in
Colorado. Used the UZ with and without the B-300 to compare the
power.
All hand held on a windy mountain top.
New people can see the power of the UZ.

Hi, I got a C2100 with a 128m Olympus Smart media card and they said I could STICH pictures together on the card to make panorama pictures, it this how you did yours? If so how do you stich them on the camera??

Thanks

You don't stitch them in the camera, you download photos taken with the panorama function (turn on the LCD, then push the menu button, scroll to panorama and select) to the computer and use the Panorama command in Camedia to stitch them together.

Absolutely! Uzi + EagleEye + B300 + Digital zoom = 8721mm

(Might need a tripod......LOL)

Looking at the photos some of them (the more zoomed in ones especially) appear somewhat "washed out" ... kind of contrast-less.

Is this:

A) A function of using so much zoom - expect this in any photo taken with the camera zoomed out so much.

B) A function of bad exposure - you should compensate in situations like this one

C) A Natural image - afternoon summer sun yields that kind of image

No criticism intended for the photographer! I appreciate you posting them and giving us a chance to see such a nice zoom progression!

Thanks

Very nice example tha you show there.I particulary like the raynox wide angle.If somebody can tell me wher i can find itand the size of the lens.

Nice shots

I got the same problem when taking picture on a sunny afternoon,looks washed a bit ,with or without the zoom

May be somebody knows what to do ,reduce the IL ?braketting?

I tend to think this is the general Haze around any industrialized nation. If you just look off in the distance without any camera, or binoculars, you'll notice that it is hazy. A zoom camera can't take the haze away. its still there. But you can probably lower the EV compensation by 1/3 to 2/3 stops. This might help.

Gabi and others,

NO vignetting. The Raynox model is 6600HD Pro-49mm. No step ring needed, It screws right on to to 2100uz. There is very little barrel distortion and it is pretty clear for an adapter.

The B-300 shots when extended to digital range are not to good as most digitals get washed out. I should have compensated -a click or so to better saturate. I do not generally use the digital extension, just for this demo. I used the scenery mode, center weighted exposure, and spot focus for all the pictures and no touch-up.

Ken,

thanks for sharing! Just one question: Did you get any vignetting
with the Raynox wideangle converter?

Greetings from Germany,

Things look very good till the digital zoom comes into play. Then the pix go all hazy. I've got shots taken 10 miles across Tampa Bay with my Sharpshooter (8x)) that are clear and sharp but them I kicked in the digital Zoom. Did one at 1.6x, one at 2.0x and the last at 2.5x - all hazy. I guess that's at least in part the digital push. I am going to see if there is anything I can do in Photoshop to make these acceptable.

Newbie and David had better be sure that as they keep adding these long lenses and keep backing up to comensate that they don't fall of the edge of the earth. I've always thought Columbus was wrong - maybe you guys can prove it.

No new pix - no place to post yet. Lotsa rain. We need it badly.
