Especially exciting was the grand re-opening of the Fountain at Point State Park, a city icon that has been turned off for renovation for four (!) years. To commemorate, the city set up a special beacon-like set of lights, illuminating the fountain from one of the prominent buildings downtown.

It was incredible--I couldn't possibly do it justice. I had trouble deciding on what to focus on, how to expose, etc. But I like some of these. I'm hoping for suggestions for improving (either things I could have done at the time or for PP). Overall I think this was a neat scene and I like the composition but I'm not so sure about actual "quality" with the wide range of light/dark involved. I have a LR4 and the Nik plugins available. Some of these look "overcooked" when I tried messing with LR levels--even though for some (esp the last one) I think they look a little neat that way.

Shot these all with the 20mm and my Hexanon 57.

I will be having a short vacation to Bangkok next month. I am intending to visit a floating market, there are plenty, the most popular ones Damneon, Amphawa are out of my list due to the distance and lack of time.

So I intend somewhere nearer such as -
- Ta Ling market
- Don Wai market (believe mainly just for food)
- Bang Phli market.

Well, among these shortlist, which are best for photography? (I know they can't match Damneon).

Which has the best boat ride experience, which can bring you to real authentic feeling village houses like in the ghost movie Naeng Nak.

Any tips other than photographic advise is much appreciated (eg. how to avoid scam, transport tips, etc...) ]]> Scenic, Architecture, and Travel rossi46 http://www.mu-43.com/f56/bangkok-nearby-floating-market-tips-48028/ Alaska trip, June 2013 http://www.mu-43.com/f56/alaska-trip-june-2013-a-48006/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:46:33 GMT I just got back from a trip to Alaska.

It's a popular summer pastime for us midlanders :smile:, not sure how widespread it is elsewhere?

Turf cutting by Ciaran C Reilly, on Flickr

The work is quite tough, and I've been nursing some very sore limbs the days since :frown:. Sometimes, the scenery can be stunning and interesting, like here, the highest hill in the background is an extinct volcano! The foreground shows sods ready for stacking, or footing as it's called around here, while the exposed peat face is in the mid ground, this is where the material to make sods is harvested from. I hope that I'm not explaining the obvious too much, I think it's interesting though!!

Turf cutting by Ciaran C Reilly, on Flickr

The peatlands are fairly absent of interesting fauna apart from flies, but the flora is very interesting, and depends very much on the nature of the peat present and how it accumulated. There are Wikipedia links to more information under each picture in Flickr.

The Sigma 30 was just about the perfect focal length for here, not too wide or not too tele.

First image-only post here. Just getting up to speed with my OM-D and 14/17 tandem. Met up with Ranxoren to get the 17 in San Jose and took a trip across Highway 84 to the coast where I grew up. The light was amazing - I don't usually shoot barns but the light demanded it. Made my way through Half Moon Bay and up to the Moss Beach bluffs above Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and had the place to myself for the most part until a nice guy with a 4x5 field camera showed up just before the sun went down.

Really enjoying this camera. I was concerned I'd be losing a substantial amount of image quality when switching from my former camera - an X-Pro 1 - but have been impressed at what the Olympus is delivering.

I am new to this forum since last week. I just sold all of my Canon DSLR gear (5D2 and assorted L lenses) in favor of an E-M5 and a couple of starter lenses (25 1.4, 45 1.8 and 12 2.0 - still waiting for the 12 2.0 to arrive). I purchased this setup about a week ago so I'm still learning the in's and out's that go along with any new system. As I'm getting older, the thought (and my back) of carrying around the full DSLR setup in my travels was something I no longer wanted to deal with. The OM-D looked like a dream come true.

My passion is primarily landscapes and like to print large when I can (i.e., 18x24). I am on the prowl for a wide angle lens in the MFT format that has a serious reputation for being sharp, edge-to-edge. The one thing about the Canon 16-35 MK II that killed me was how soft the corners were. Because of that, I'm a stickler for edge sharpness.

So, being the newb here I'll ask the newb question - what do you guys/gals recommend?

About 7000kms in 14 days. Two photographers. No kids. No fixed itinerary. 7 cameras. 1x 4 wheel drive. All we had to do was make Mossman, Qld in 10 days to be able to shoot a wedding we’d booked.

My m4/3 kit consisted of 2x EM5’s, a 12-35, 45mm, 60mm macro, 75mm 1.8, 75-300 and a Samyang 7.5mm fisheye that I bought from pixelvandal. Thanks Pavel. No, you can’t have your lens back. :-). I also had 3x FL50R’s and a FL600R plus a tripod and a selection of filters. I could have used a super wide. Maybe next time. But I did have a 12mm and 21mm for the Leica so I didn’t miss much.

I also took my Leica kit. The Leica shots are on Leica Place.
Road Trip with the M9 and other stuff.

The wides were definitely the most used, especially the fish. Then the 12-35 and the 70-300. The primes got little use until the wedding. I was really impressed with both the fish and the 12-35. Excellent lenses at their optimum apertures. The 70-300 was a bit disappointing at the long end, mainly because even the IBIS in the Olympus can’t keep up with it at 600mm. A tripod or higher ISO yielded immediate improvements. I really wish I had lower ISO’s than 200. That’s the only place I missed my Sony’s SLT with it’s ISO 50. Sure didn’t miss the weight though.

I’m also going to get a leveling base for my tripod head. It’ll make life much easier, especially when trying to shoot stitched panos. I’ll also invest in a new filter system for landscapes. The B&W filters are great but a pain to use. The old Cokins are not good enough. I’ll need to keep a couple of 58mm filters for the Leica but I can see a Lee system in my near future.

The cameras worked flawlessly. I had to adjust the Leica’s rangefinder due to the 1500kms we drove on gravel and 4wd tracks. I managed to knock over a tripod with an EM5 attached to it. Fortunately the tripod took most of the impact. I did dent the hot-shoe of the camera. Easily fixed with a Leatherman. Camera works fine.

So here’s a few pics from the trip.

These are the only ones I've done anything with so far. All EPM1 with the Sigma 30, other than the boat one which was with the 40-150.

Upper Loch Torridon and Beinn Alligin, sunset

Slioch, summit clearing

Beinn Dearg and the Abhainn Coire Mhic Nobuil

Loch Diabaig

Most will find these last two way too dark and gloomy (even compared to the rest of my work, which is always dark), but anyone familiar with the mountain in question will probably recognise the atmosphere of the place. They were worth taking for that alone :)

the current owner has furnished the house that he lives in with correct period furnishings.

i tried shooting handheld but wished for a flash, then remembered that i had tucked the OMD little flash. worked in a pinch.

he also has one of the old style viewers. (camera related)

you can also dine for dinner in the house.

they preserved the old kitchen

and the garden is a combination of multiple styles: old and modern,

the food is really good :}

In a sad aside, my friend and I were in the region the day of the balloon crash that killed 3 Brazilians and injured 20 or so - so please, if you're heading this way and planning on going for a ride, be very particular about checking accreditation before going up. It's a fantastic place but unfortunately there are some dodgy operators around...
