Very nice shot! I like how the hills seem to pop right out of the landscape. I've heard good things about the lens you used in this photo.

You cant beat B&W. The processing her is just wonderful. tones, grain, contrast .. You name it. It just falls together nicely.

Just a lovely image Stephen. I think the 21/2.8 is such a wonderful lens, easily my current favorite optic. Excellent tonal range and discrimination for digital B&W, did you shoot as monochrome in camera or convert an RGB file during post-processing? Either way very impressive. Best, Larry

I have started using ISO 50 more often, simply because theoretically IQ ought to be better at the lower ISO setting and one might expect lower Digital Noise as well. I suppose I should check out the theory by shooting a high contrast image at ISO 50 and then again at ISO 100 and then looking for differences in the darker areas of the image where one might expect to see the effects of noise. I will do this and post the images or let you know the findings. Stephen

This image was taken inside an Cheetah preserve in the Zoo at Neuwied/Germany. I must confess, not feeling very safe during the shooting!

Absolutely beautiful. Where was this shot? You must have been far from any city to get these many stars with light pollution hideing their view. Great job!

Three image pano. Hand held. Left tripod at home :( 85mm ZA at f2.8. This was a total fiasco. I should have shot this at 5.6 and above. I even left my CF cards and had to buy a cheap card to do the job.

Like the composition and the vignette which focuses your eye on the diagonal line of animals top left to bottom right of frame. Stephen

Love old cars. They seem to have so much more character. Nice find. Stephen
