Originally posted by Photo Tramp Adam I like all of them and I do agree with Clarence about the clouds being a little more defined in your 2nd shot. I think if you could have gotten a bit more definition this picture would have popped. i hope you don't mind I did copy your #2 picture to play with in photoshop a bit I wanted to play with the sky's tonal definition and color. Before I would post it you would get a copy in a pm.
Good Shooting.

Go ahead and post whatever you come up with. I don't go nuts when someone reposts my pics
Originally posted by roentarre Thanks Mo. I just love the Fa* 24mm delivering that colour magic there. Such a rich colour and vividness of the image (2nd pic). Now I want to start hunting down that lens as well. (Joele told me not to get it because it is soft wide open; but the colour is just amazing!)
Fa*300 is an amazing lens and your shot reveals great detail and composition. Well deserved in your hand
The 24mm
is soft wide-open, but you'll never be shooting landscape at F2, and you just can't beat the colors. If you ever do shoot wide-open, the soft effect just makes your photo better, if anything.
I took similar shots with the 50-200mm, and the difference in color was significant. I had to add a big levels adjustment to get the pic to match up to the Fa*'s.
Also, here's a close-up wide-open with the FA*:
Motec Photo Gallery. I'll leave it up to you to judge the softness

Great selection of subjects.
I like 'duck traffic' #2 but I wish the clouds were a little more defined behind the taller trees.
Phx Zoo. Let's see what David has for us
