Hello Ivan !

I used a Circular Polarizer but its effect is not uniform over the whole photogram as I was using an FA 20 mm wide-angle lens. I also adjust my color palette to "VIBRANT" and this helps in obtaining nice blue skies. Simply take the same pictures using your usual palette choice side by side with the "vibrant" adjustment and you'll be able to compare the resulting pictures. The choice of this color palette influences the outcome of your images.

Regards

I shot this one in a part of the woods near my home place
Excellent shot I try a lot of forest pictures but my compositions do not often work. Too often I end up with a random collection of trees. I think this shot works well because of the unofficial "path" leading away in the centre right, giving depth and shape to the picture.

Here is a shot I took last week in the Bialowieski National Park in Poland. The largest population of European Bison (bos bonasus) in the wild is living there.
An exciting meeting, for sure.
Usually they are not very aggressive, but they are fast and strong ... my friend and I were with an experienced guide, so we felt somewhat safe.
In the 1920's the European Bison was nearly extinct. The last free animal was shot 1927 and only 12 animals existed in Zoos and game parks.
Today several thousand are living in several European countries again (but all originating from these 12 animals - the limited genetic diversity is an issues).

I rode on my motorbike to Poland and the longest lens I had with me was the A* 2.8/200. For this shot I used it on the K1 with a 1.5 TC. The picture is cropped to about 2/3 of the original frame.

Excellent photograph of the European Bison. Like the lighting, composition.

I live in Western Canada on the prairies and prior to European settlement this area was within the territory of the Bison or as we call them, the Buffalo. In my travels throughout this area, I've been at buffalo jumps...cliff areas where buffalo were driven over, to harvest for food, clothing...many essentials of life...by indigenous peoples.

We still have ranches that have Buffalo herds, which are managed for meat production, etc. on the prairies. Ranchers find Bison can handle the hard Canadian prairie climate much better than cattle. Bison can forage for their food in blizzards, through the deep snow, calf much easier, seldom needing human assistance for successful calving, can protect themselves well from large animal predators, etc.

I've eaten bison, it is quite good.

My wife and I travel through the prairies...about 3 times a year and every so often see some ranch buffalo in the Cypress Hills, along of course with pronghorn antelope, coyotes, etc.

At the last day of September I shot this one in a part of the woods near my home place, just beside some old tumuli (grave hills) dating from the 'Hallstatt' time (about 800 b.C.). It is one part of the forest that didn't suffer from the last (dry) summers that much. Other parts are a pain to walk through and see all the devastation, but that's another story ...

We had exchange students from Neu Ansbach and Unsingen some years ago. Went to visit them in 2005 and saw the Saalburg Roman fortress while there. I never thought that I would ever see anything Roman in person. It was a awesome trip. Very beautiful part of Germany.

K1+M20/4


I did not want to kill myself hauling all the lighting gear and lenses, especially with the ultra wide which in many cases has a dicey chance of being used in a shoot, so I took a M20/4 which is really 'low commitment' in terms of baggage.
The wide open space in the Gardens by the Bay, was an appropriate area to set up the shot.
Shot is like a landscape, set to infinity, f8 and lit the subject separately with the off camera flash.
