Please notice, this is NOT an eagle:

The eagles will be gone in a week or so and I'll get back to other subjects... I promise.

///js, that red rock looks like it could be around here (Denver area). Nice.

Cool pelican shot, DC.

Itsed65 · 03-11-2015, 01:34 PM

Nice to see some new folks here. Some really great shots the last week or so.

I picked up a used 55-200 for my new XT-1. Here Carl poses admiring my other work while I test it out. ISO 3200 at night in my living room.

Nice shot, David. Very moody and foreboding.

Ed, you're peaking my interest in the XT-1 again. Have you tried manual focus with focus peaking or the zoom inset in the EVF?

ddk632 · 03-12-2015, 12:27 AM

Been a while since I've been able to get out and shoot new stuff... thanks Mark - I liked the one you commented on.

Got one more as I kept both but the one I posted above is my favorite of the two (same location, different sky).

Here's the other one (below, my lesser favorite of the two)...

I have a shoot planned out at Deering Estate for sunrise in a couple of weeks and hopefully will get up to a few other spots I've found recently for some nice landscape/sunset shots.

Been wanting to shoot more landscapes and, well, much of Florida just freaking looks the same!

Itsed65 · 03-12-2015, 09:34 AM

Agree with Mark David, very cool moody landscapes.

Mark, I haven't dove into any of the MF features yet, but I hope to soon. I'm working 9 and 10 hour days right now, so not much time after work to experiment, hence the kitty in the living room shots. Hopefully this weekend.

FL can be really tough, unless something big is happening in the sky. Even the water action can be boring once the sun gets up a few degrees. Move in close to the bikinis.

Bay Bridge at Night by lennycarl08, on Flickr

Nice night shot of the Bay Bridge.

Best viewed full-screen, over at Flickr.

I know this isn't a cat forum

But dang, I continue to be impressed with the XT1. This is a B&W rendering straight out of the camera using a Fuji preset, no silver efex pro or anything like that. One tiny levels tweak is all I did. ISO 1600 1/20 at f 4.8 handheld @ 200mm and no noise reduction or sharpening.

That's really nice feather detail. Great timing with the seed in its beak too!
