Nambe Lake Hike [15 images]

Nambe Lake Hike [15 images] · 10:53 AM

Went on a 7-hour hike to Nambe Lake this weekend. The hike starts from the Santa Fe ski basin and continues up toward the peaks. Lots of shady trails--some are in the open, but most are heavily shaded, leading to the kind of situation where you have super bright brights and dead black shadows. Tough conditions for the K20D's dynamic range to deal with.

I took along most of my AF kit, including the DA Limiteds and the Sigma 10-20 and 70-200s, as well as my Helios-44K-4. I wonder if you guys can tell which shots came from which lens? Should be interesting. Anyway, here we go:

So no one wants to hazard a guess as to which shots came from which lenses?

Great stuff--thanks. Hey, I remember that cool dog from your first ever post here with the K20---@ ISO 1600 if I'm not mistaken.

Shots 3 and 11 look like the 10-20mm?

Yep, 3, 4, 10, 11, and 12 are all from the 10-20mm. The remarkable thing is that 3 and 4 were both taken at 10mm. Shows how much of a difference framing makes with a superwide, I guess.
