Nice stuff, V10!

Using LR3's split toning (also works in previous versions of LR).

Typically I set the highlight toning in the realm of 30 Hue / 30 Saturation, and the shadow toning in the realm of 230 Hue / 30 Saturation. Of course, every photo is different, and there's a lot of other processing going on in those photos as well.

thanks for sharing. still have loads to learn on PP.

This is absolutely gorgeous! How I wish I had the cash for one of these.... maybe even K-7 titan would do....

It is a very photogenic camera indeed!

You're making me wish I had some (lots of) pennies for a 77, but I'm all camera geared out for a long while now! Great shots, which I'm sure you'll cherish even more when Bump arrives!

how could you manage get the ghosts with 43Ltd?

BTW, I've tried 31Ltd on old good Pentax LX film body: that was amazing! Immediately has ordered one and waiting for full frame body, these limiteds will shine even brighter!

Thanks,

Funilly enough, I can't get used to 77. It has delivere some great shot but I'm still thinking of selling it + 43 in favor of A50/1.2 + FA100/2.8. Both of them MIJ silver copies might be up for grabs soon. Anybody from EU?

jaieger · 03-25-2011, 12:43 PM

Awesome shots Axl!

Some more, this time from Wednesday...

Dawn (80% sure those dots in the sky are birds and not dust)

"Another Day/At It Again"

"The Path"

All taken with the FA43.

deadwolfbones and jaieger, thanks! Nice shots from you guys too!

axl, the first shot is stunning!

v5planet · 03-25-2011, 07:12 PM

So I took a bunch of photos of Saguaro cactuses leaving Phoenix early this morning. Here are some results with the 77mm (others with the 15mm posted in its thread).

I apologize if anyone finds the colors to be too much. The 77 actually rendered these nearly achromatically for some reason, but I wanted to give them an Arizona license plate feel.

Man I wish I had the time to head out and take shots as much as some of you! Maybe more outings when the days get longer here! I think tonight is a good night for some more water drop photography.

If you would consider shipping down under i would be interested in the 43! I have the 77 and require something a little wider!

Very nice shots Simon!
I love the 2nd one, but I'm not too sure about the arm in 3rd. If I may ask, what flash setup did you use in the 2nd shot?
