S1,2,3,5 Wednesday thread: 2011.10.04

These Wednesday posts seem popular enough to continue. It is nice to see some of the long time contributers checking in and posting archival and fresh images. Perhaps one day we can hit the 150 post cut off some day.

Here are a couple of more images from the trip in August. Just a few mountain wild flowers from the Beartooth Highway area. The first is from the Little Bear Lake shores west of the top of the pass.

Fuji S5 Nikkor 16mm-85mm @ 85mm, iso 200 1/125 f8





The cluster of blue flowers in the harsh soil was taken from the top of the pass.

Fuji S5 Nikkor 24mm-120mm f4 @ 86mm, iso 200 1/350 f5.6





If I can figure out why my meta data does not stay attached to the image during processing in ACR and resizing in PSCS5 I won't have to type it all in.

Neither of these flowers was very large. I had the monopod with me since I was hiking to larger vistas. Looking at the first image I should make the tripod part of the work flow when I begin the hike to the intended subject to better capture the unexpected.

I will probably be away from the computer in a couple of days so if you post and I do not get right back to you, keep the faith, I will enjoy the images when I can.

Alan,

Yes, it would be good to see these threads go to 150 too. Kudos for implementing the concept.

It's been great to see some old faces posting again. I'm afraid, for me, so far as the great old Fujifilm DSLR forum is concerned, the "genie is out the bottle". I do call in now and then though.

Perhaps if the X** goes somewhere else or with the X100 being too quirky & difficult for the PAS brigade thus acquiring a niche of its own, it may qualify as a specialist interest within the genre and limited appeal that the forum used to have. If there is a new DSLR announced that could make all the difference too.

Anyway, here are some shots from my S5 for the thread. I took these last week in Dundee, Scotland of the RRS Discovery.



Her first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Scott and Shackleton on their first successful journey to the Antarctic.



Shot RAW, ACR2.4.

More on my blog if anyone is interested.

Couple of Sunset pics.

Happy Old Timers Wednesday everyone!

I for one wish that these threads will have long and happy life, and hope that we indeed will hit the 150 post cut off someday.

I decided to post another shot from my little sister's wedding, now with slightly experimental edit, with a slight sin-city-noir'ish-twist. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I still would like to hear what you guys think. The shot from Fuji DSLR bodies really don't need this much editing, but the RAW-files are so good that you can do basically anything with them and get away with it... I'll probably will keep posting some more shots from my sister's wedding with more natural look in the future.

The lens used in this shot was Tamron 70-200 f/2.8, and lighting was done with two flashes, one in a softbox and one bare in the ground behind the subjects (pointing up the wall).





And as a bonus, two shots from last weekend. I have caught a nasty cold virus, and haven't been able to take any longer walks with my gear, so these are from our immediate neighborhood. The lens used was the cheap little Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 I borrowed from work for the weekend.

Greetings, Wednesdayians. Another reminder of how quickly time flies by. Wednesday already. Again, nice to see some old faces here.

Here's an S5 image with Nikon 18-200. My wife used to do real estate in CT and I shot her listings for her. White house with porch.





See you next week.

Roman Johnston asked for face to face photos over on the Landscape and Travel forum and I was able to contribute one I set up today. That is me on the shores of Flathead Lake looking forlorn account all the dramatic mountains covered in clouds. There is the trusty S5 with the Nikkor 70mm-2oomm f2.8 VRI and the Benbo tripod. My answer to tripod stability is to modify the commonly required bucket in the national and state forests to attach to the tripod. I can carry it empty to the photo site and then fill it with local rocks and such to anchor the equipment.

The image was taken by my girlfriend using my D40x and the Sigma 10mm-20mm which sort of elongated my face.

I pasted my mug on the thread and it went dead. I guess I won't do that again.

My apologies for those of you who had small children which were scared when my face flashed across your monitors......

Weather report from Flathead Lake, MT. Clouds down to the water level, leave the telephotos in the bag....

Hey everybody,

This week seems to be a bit slower than those in the past, let's hope it's not a trend. Here's one I took a while ago with my S2, I love the way the tropics look during the rainy season. everything is so lush and green.



Regards,

Mark

Isn't that an old rock song? When I find all that time I will be happy to parcel out some of it to other posters. I am just down from nearl 4 days in Glacier NP chasing trains. The weather was pretty grundgy, I am glad I had the B&W media loaded in the S3 and S5.
