I think it's fair to point out that Ray is the one who went off-topic and brought a debate going on in another thread here.

Not correct, Jonathan. We're both at fault, but it was you who started the off-topc discussion with the following remark.

I agree. It just goes to show the stupidity of the argument that people who obsess over technical stuff must be artistically inferior to those who do not.

Please note that I was replying to another post. And you are the one who decided to make a big deal out of it. Just for the record. Now back to the images:



This is a building I worked in while stationed in Baumholder, Germany. It was built during World War II by the Germans, and shows it.

This is from La Gomera, in the Canary Islands:

Two pictures from my last trip in Puerto Rico.

Two points of view of the same Island.

We should not forget to look up! This was taken on a walk that was interupted by hail, sleet and rain showers. The smallest branches are nice and sharp.

This looks great printed on Hanemhule Baryta paper.

I guess da copz wants the gangstas to know where they crib iz...

Reminds me of a small town in Ontario that has an 'Easy Street'.  No photo of it though...

Edina has a Lois Lane.  (I think it is near Penny Lane.)

The view from Poon Hill, Ghorepani, Nepal, just after dawn. For those interested in the mountain names, from right to left you see:

Machupichre 6993M, Hiunchuli 6441M, Annapurna South 7219M (the tallest looking in the photo due to perspective), The Fang (Bara Shikhar) 7647M, then near to the left but not far left, is a group which I guess is Nilgiri North, Central and South, ranging in height from 6839 -7061M.

If anone wants to dispute these names, let me know.

Not taken recently, but recently processed. 2 stitched 5D shots with Sigma 15-30 zoom at 30mm.

[DarkPenguin]

Nice.  Is that the one you were playing with (read: testing stitching software with) a while ago?

Thanks! It's from the same batch, some of which I've shown before, but a different perspective and composition. I see these as problem images that don't quite work, but I think maybe I can get them to work with the right processing in PS.

If I'd known at the time that Autopano Pro would soon have been available in its current form, I would not have bothered stuffing around with my ultra-lightweight, ball-head tripod that is really not stable enough for the 5D with rather heavy and bulky Sigma 15-30 zoom, and definitely not suitable for panorama stitching purposes because of the ball-head.

It's the sort of place I'd like to revisit and do a better job, but it takes an awful lot of walking to get there   .

Many excellent contributions so far.  Here's my modest contributions:

Windsurfer

Country Road Cyclist

Golden Gate Bridge

and a Tulip

Interesting compositions, Tony. I particularly like the Coutry Road Cyclist because we have in fact two photos for the price of one, yet both photos would be diminished if they were separate. This is a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

The Windsurfer is a good example of relevance to the recent discussion on Michael's DoF article. If you'd used a longer telephoto lens from a greater distance, the paragliders would have appeared bigger and fuzzier in the scene.

Perhaps I should have just zoomed in on his head and foregone the rest of the scene in pursuit of some idealized DOF; or I could have gone back to the parking lot and shot from above instead of at the water's edge and there would have been only green water in the background and no sky at all.  Anyway, I have better Windsurfer and Kiteboarder shots and the distractions are just the way the chips fall sometimes, but since this was supposed to be a thread about "Recent Works" with a smaller format I thought the sequence was apt because it was recent and the first 3 frames occurred in 6/10 of a second -- if I had known it was going to be a continuation of a discussion I explicitly wrote I would have nothing more to contribute to, then I would not have replied here.
