^ Very dramatic! Nicely lit.

A couple from around work the past couple of days. Slowly getting to the grips with the X-T2! Still missing focus occasionally but getting there…

Ooft! You've got a lot of stars in there Rob! Plenty of ISO I guess?

Thank you Dave - I was able to drop by on the way home from work & thankfully there was still a little daylight left to work with!


Here's our lab having a splash earlier today -

Very clever, I'd be interested (as someone who's photographic skills go as far as pointing an iPhone) to know how on earth you did that!

My word that is good. Well done

I'm relatively new to landscape photography, these are of a watery theme, c&c welcomed.

21 frames at ISO 6400, f2.5 25 seconds. Lots of light gathered!

Stunning! I wish I had the patience for that.

BTW Rob, tried the Irix finally there while up north for astro - unimpressed. It's going back, infinity wasn't near the mark, coma and the vignette was worse than my Tamron. Maybe a duff copy I had but disappointed after so many great reviews.

Interesting set certainly got that whole long exp thing going on... You have some good compositions there.

A few things to look out for. Your white balance and contrast are a little off, too warm/orange and too flat ( have to be careful of highs and lows though). The 2 full sized I downloaded are slightly soft. Not sure why as I have no info, could be unstable tripod, IS, bad lens, poor focus, wind etc. I also dont think you need quite as long an exposure its nice to have some detail in the water at times.

Keep practising as they are good, make sure you visit in the best light you can

Cheers Rob, it's nice to get some proper feedback, so maybe drop the white balance and up the contrast a touch, I have a feeling my tripod could be the issue where softness is concerned it's not the most stable, camera is a d5200 and lens is 17-50 f2.8 sigma so not exactly high end. They were shot at f13, iso 100 and around 15 seconds with a nd6 filter.

I will have a play around in lightroom to see if I can improve them in the areas you have suggested.

Thanks.

THe camera and lens are able to do great things thats unlikely to be a problem!
