A fantastic image, Vieri!
Thank you very much Mike!
Nice.
Thanks!
+1.
Thank you very much Eric!
I like the pattern of the salt… I agree, the place is spectacular… (almost) magic!
Thank you very much Francois, yes indeed Death Valley is a very special place for me, and Badwater in particular!
I find the softness (not enough depth of field) in the very near foreground and in the distance bothersome in this type of image.
Hello Rajan, while I see your point, I am not particularly bothered here: to me, the softness in the lower left corner serves to drive the eye into the picture, but I appreciate that you might feel differently here. The background is actually in focus - perhaps resizing the image made it a bit softer (?).
You should have used f/64, as Ansel and Edward would have.
Would have love to, but the lens was limited to f/32
As well, diffraction would probably have made it softer at f/32 than at f/16 anyway...
I usually can't see why one would use a 90 mm tilt/shift lens, but it might help here.
Good point Scott, even though the softness in the lower left corner doesn't bother me, on the contrary I think it serves a purpose (see above).
By the way, I also never saw the point of longer T-S lenses in the landscape (of course they have a point in product shots and the like)
Best regards,
Vieri
