Some Singles- C&C

Some Singles- C&C · 09:36 PM

I'm not going to share my new Salt River Canyon gallery today, but I'd like to receive C&C on the following 2 shots:

SMC Pentax-FA 28-105mm F4-5.6 PZ

SMC Pentax-FA* 24mm

Thanks!

Beautiful colors, and everything, nice job Mo

The old bridge on the top pic is so beautiful I wish that the new bridge wasn't there

clarenceclose · 12-30-2006, 10:08 PM

These are real nice. I do miss seeing the salt river canyon. Thanks.

Nice foreground and the river/walls sweeping into the distance secretly around the bend to where....\

Did you ever to a tube float of the salt river?

Hi adam, I noted from your series of FA*24 shots. The lens does the colours orange and green really well. In your 2nd shot, the bottom of valley has this beautiful range of colour that I would just love to see in great details.

Would you mind to do 100% crop but only reveal centre river area where there is lots of colour?

Great post.

good captures of some great scenery.. seems like you are making good use of that FA*24

No problem

roentarre · 12-31-2006, 02:55 AM

This is a big crop but I can tell there is still a lot of details in the centre with good colour. I can even see the bottom of the river with rock details both above and beneath the water surface.

What aperture was used in this shot, Adam?

Maybe a less aggressive crop: just the black shadow on the right and a bit of sky off. This would be a great photo

Photo Tramp · 12-31-2006, 03:12 AM

Adam they are great pictures, the color in both are outstanding and so is the composition.

Good Shooting.
Cheers: David

Tom Lusk · 12-31-2006, 06:17 AM

Both are very good, but I get a better feelig of the distances involved in the second shot with the sharpness gradually fading into the distant hills. The colors are amazing.

Is that a foot trail I see on the left of the photo leading from a road to the canyon?

wjwncpro · 12-31-2006, 09:19 AM

Roads, I love roads...
Is that 93 heading towards Vegas???

No, it's just a small parking space for taking photos.

I went along with Mo for this trip. I thought my shot of the bridge was sharp, but when I compare it to yours side-by-side, it looks substantially unclear. I cannot believe it -- your photos are incredibly sharp.

Here are some of my shots from the trip: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-your-photos/1961-salt-river-canyon.html.

This one was shot at 1/500s, F5.6, ISO 100. Quite a ways down from F2, but perhaps I should have taken at 1 stop slower.

SR helps, but I usually still try to go for the fastest reasonable shutter speed in landscape photos.

Can you crop it and post what you have in mind, please?

You really need those megapixels in landscape shots, lol. It's practically the only time you can tell the difference between 6MP and 10MP.

Let's not bring film into the picture, however. I still have 5 shots left on my NII, and I don't plan on wasting them

Scott Rylance · 01-05-2007, 09:28 PM

The look very good to me Adam....great composition and colors and are nice and sharp.
Cheers.

vievetrick · 01-06-2007, 06:57 AM

Adam both are great. The second one is very very nice but if you want my $.02 maybe crop a little off the top.
