Nicely done and presents a view not likely seen by those of us that do not live there.

Nice reflections and a reminder of what sunny warmth is about Dave.

I like the winter scene. Quite nice and well put together. In the last there are three bridges visible! Are the three images near the same location or just part of the NECR heritage?

Hi: Quite a bit of ice on the Detroit River.

Very nice. I think a lot of winter images look so much better in B&W.

Yes, specifically Mt. Katahdin and Baxter State Park. My favorite stomping grounds, can't wait for spring to arrive and for them to open the roads up so I can get to the trails!

Thanks Andrew! The last is just part of the NECR line, further south just upstream from a famous waterfall. The footbridge to the left connects two parts of a park and the footbridge over the rails is an access path to the park.

From a trip to Paris/Germany/Austria four years ago. Was having fun with my NEW E-520 two lens kit

Der Bodensee. On the way to Fussen from Freiburg





Cloudy, rainy Heidelberg from across the river Neckar. The weather didn't dampen our enjoyment. Beautiful town and friendly people. One fellow very politely let me know that I was going the wrong way down a (narrow) one way street. I hadn't put "Einstrasse" and "one way street" together until then





December sunset on the Carpenteria, CA beach. Really nice weather for December. E-1 with OM 50/1.4. Probably shot at f 2 or 2.8

Thanks for comment.

Looking north from Santa Cruz Island toward the Central California Coast. Those mountains at the horizon rise above Santa Barbara. This is about midway along the road to Smuggler's Cove from the campground. E-5 and 14-54 mm lens at mid-afternoon.

E-M1









This is what passes for color along the South Platte River here in mid-winter. Taken with the E-30/ZD 35-100/EC-14 and E-M1/ZD 14-35 combinations.

just clicked this off walking to my car, I took a few playing with aperture and shutter speed but the color of the sky on this one came out quite different to the rest.

Nice images from the mile-high plateau of Colorado. What's all that blue stuff in the furrows between the mounds of dirt? We don't get any of that on the surface here in Calironia. If I want to see water I have to turn on the faucet, and that may come to an end too if California gets any drier. ;-)

We may actually get some rain here for a couple of days by tomorrow night. We're all watching the forecast and doing a rain dance.

Thanks for posting images of a beautiful stream. I'd forgotten what they look like.

 

[dave gaines]

The basement of that building must be cold! You have to have water to have a frozen lake. That's in scarce supply here in So Cal. Put on your skates and enjoy it.

 

[dave gaines]

The big picture. Nice wide angle view. This must be from around the battery? Southwest end looking north in winter, right? I like the trellis.

 

[dave gaines]

These are spectacular images. I really like the first one and the last one is fantastic. I like this lens too. It's much desired by the Nikon FF crowd. I think it might be good underwater in a housing too.

 

[dave gaines]

Nah, cold is when the river is frozen over. I've seen your photos of this, if I recall.

Nice shots George. A lighthouse on a river. That's something we don't have here in California. In fact, I'm not sure we have any rivers left, it's so dry here.

 

[dave gaines]

These are fine landscape images. I live an hour from that beach. Going to the beach in winter is one of the pleasures of sunny Southern California. Travel about 20 minutes south to Point Mugu or Point Dume and watch the grey whales migrate by.

Taken just after it had stopped snowing in a small park I've never shot in before.

I haven't posted here in a long time or even been shooting much lately but I think I'm back in the swing of things now. New camera, new lens, new photo editing software, finally starting to shoot RAW, new computer, new accessories - a heck of a lot to learn and get used to. I feel a bit rusty to say the least.

Anyway, the following were all shot with the E-M1 and 12-40 at ISO 3200/4000 with no NR in post. I took these with wider apertures than I normally use for landscapes (experimenting).

▲ AP ● ISO 3200 ● 54mm EFL ● f/4.5 ● ±0 EV ● 1/30"

I didn't have blinkies on, nor was I chimping with this first one or I would have noticed the snow on the branches blowing out (above the gazebo near the unseen light). Still, I liked the composition so I thought I would show it.

▲ AP ● ISO 3200 ● 80mm EFL ● f/4.5 ● ±0 EV ● 1/40"

▲ AP ● ISO 4000 ● 24mm EFL ● f/3.2 ● ±0 EV ● 1/30"

▲ AP ● ISO 4000 ● 24mm EFL ● f/2.8 ● ±0 EV ● 1/25"

'When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at
his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.
Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two,
and I know it was not that blow that did it,
but all that had gone before.'
-- Jacob Riis (1849 - 1914)


Stay Well,

If you add just a little bit of editing to the images (if I am allowed to say it here), I suspect there would be no problem with blinkers whatsoever. It is quite surprising that you can just walk around and shoot at ISO3200 and above without any visible ill-effects, at least at this size, to the images. Congratulations on your new camera, and hope we will see you posting more images as time goes by.

Thank you.
