He's just done another article, comparing it to the Olympus Pen-F and the new OM 300mm lens. It holds up well at screen size.

I wonder if whoever created it will make any money out of it?
I neither like nor dislike it myself, but who among us has never 'enhanced' a picture and given nature a helping hand?
It's free world of course but for me it's 'digital art' rather than photography I neither like nor dislike it myself, but who among us has never 'enhanced' a picture and given nature a helping hand?
(And yes of course I enhance/bugger up every shot!)

I don't mind enhancement or even outright manipulation, but what is annoying me about that image is that nothing seems to fit. The tree, the sky and the foreground are all in very different 'moods' (if that makes sense?) and they just don't go together at all.
Would agree with this. I don't might 'photographic art'
But that one seems to be took in the dark, near some radioactive purple bushes with a random tree growing under a large light bulb, all underneath a sky with a light source that lights the sky but nothing else.
In the fog.
Personally, I have no problem at all with enhancement, manipulation or whatever and can't see any problem with removing or adding things to make an image better unless it purports to be documentary or of historical importance - many of the 'greats' have done it since the dawn of photography.
Why not? It's an art form and it's about making images as much as taking (literally) what is there. How boring would it be if every photo was a straight shot of what was in front of the lens, even if toned and dodged and burned etc.
It's just that this one is so ghastly with the ugh tones, OTT lighting and colours and that 'mist' that looks like one radial filter with contrast down and blacks up to make a grey smear. It's s
te. Bet it sells really well!

Any tips for getting a decent pic of the strawberry moon? I've got a d700 with a range of lenses. Am I right in thinking a longer tele lens will be better to make it appear bigger?
Yep - the longer the focal length you have the better. Suggest tripod + remote shutter release (or 2 sec delay). Focus manually on live view to get it perfect then use something like f8, 1/400 and iso 400 (on manual mode). You need to keep a decent shutter speed as it moves surprisingly quickly Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
