Osa25: So “security” now the excuse for camera that tells you what you can and cannot take photos of.
Next up Drones that won’t fly or take images of Eiffel tower and other famous landmarks without you purchasing a “premium add-on”?
Security is not an excuse nor is it about the camera. It is a reality (think Munich).
Just fantastic. Great foresight and skill to create a wonderful visual experience. Well done and many thanks.
A great shot, just wonderful composition, sport at its best. Well worth the hike to get into position. A true wall hanger! Well done.
Great capture. Lovely image - well done. If I had taken it I would be proud to wall mount it.
Are we talking f22 or F22? Depends if one is a photographer or pilot!
Thanks for posting. Lovely to see such photos of nature. Andrea Zampatti's field mouse (I assume it is) made the start to my day.
eugene1979: Not impressed by the photos at all. No story, no interesting composition, no soul. Also could be done on any camera and lens, not just on A9 + Batis lenses. This is just a promo of non-profit "The Giving Lens", and nothing else. Waste of time.
I have to disagree, they do have 'soul', they are interesting and at least the photographer has shown us an aspect of life that few on the forum see or experience. Just a somewhat blinkered view from eugene1979.
Interesting images on life in challenging urban environments.
(unknown member): 1975 -76;, at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, William Jenkins curated an exhibition of contemporary landscape photography. This was a turning point – a landmark – in contemporary landscape photography. Because these guys addressed our landscape, the one we live in:
Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernt & Hilla Becha, Frank Gohike, Stephan Shore, Nicholas Nixon, John Scholt, Henry Wessel Jr, Joe Deal.
I totally understand the impulse to idealise the land, and to somehow make it poetic or lyrical. But maybe we should Google ‘Anthropocene’. We are living in precarious times and as photographers, we are obliged to respond.
The image here is just decorative nonsense.
It is, as I said below, a wonderful image. At least the photographer 'got out there' and took what many think is a wonderful image of a scene that few Earth dwellers are likely to see in reality. I could only understand Quietrich's opinion if he showed similarly wonderful images, taken in similarly austere locations and a similarly degree of foresight. Otherwise this is a typical armchair comment. That said, I love the image.
A lovely image; clear, compelling and wonderful colours. Must have been a great trip - rich memories.
Fantastic - one of those very rare photographs that makes one sit up and look at it many times and always in wonder. Well done.
Simply put - wonderful.
Great imagination to conceive the shots, wonderfully executed and simply stunning to admire. Great work - thanks for posting.
Incredible, one of the best, if not the best weather related, and its dramatic effects, time lapse videos I have ever seen. Worth 8 minutes to site back in awe.
A stunning image and the contextual story adds to its appeal. Well done in winning; well deserved.
Stunning image, great composition and timing, congrats.
Fantastic imagination; is that the essence of great images? Certainly is so here. Really enjoyed them all, especially the puppy in the backpack. Thanks for posting.
Sensational images - outstanding images. I'd be over the moon to have taken any of them. I have to agree with DaveE1, why cannot people praise such outstanding work rather than finding spurious negativity; perhaps it has more to do with jealousy and their inability to take such wonderful images.
Well done Elena, let's see some more!
Hi, stunning. Extraordinary, in that subject positioning, viewing angle, light and stillness have all come together at the right moment in time to create a truly superb and memorable image. Many congratulations, well deserved.
Great capture; unusual image, interesting story and a challenging place to get too I am sure. Thanks for posting and congrats on winning (regarding the post by mirrorless crusader: all I can say is that such sentiments seldom advance life, fun, interest or friendship).
I was on the cusp of buying PS; not now. Nor will I add to my monthly outgoings, which I have spent the last year reducing to the irreducible minimum. No, a monthly sub is not how I wish to pay for my photography.
