NIce photos jmschrei and gdroth, Sinister so sharp and 3d!

Heres another one I pulled out of the RAW folder from my last trip. Did I go too far with the PP (or not enough)? Still learning!

Thanks, Deimos! But your's has a 3Dish look as well. I like the dynamic in the sky and sea

Sharpness is a difficult issue - the lens has been serviced and corner sharpness has increased in response, but I haven't found the sweet spot F-Stop-wise, yet... what is your experience here?

As far as filters, will it run on a polarizer? Or will the sky get blotchy as it does on many ultrawides?

Thanks!

The 15 Ltd has it's own built-in polariser (or so it is said - and I believe whoever first said it)

So many great shots and I don't have one to post

I want to use the 15 but the damn birds won't come close enough so I have to resort to the 300mm. *sighs*

Here's one from a quick day trip to Chicago. I've got a lot more but they require some work and my computer is borked at the moment. Can't wait to work on them.

Model: PENTAX K-5
ISO: 640
Exposure: 1/40 sec
Aperture: 8.0
Focal Length: 15mm

Nice sinister, enoeske and matt!

@sinister thanks, I usually shoot f5.6, f8 or F11 for max landscape corner sharpness.

@gdroth thanks, its a fine line between too little and too much! I hope to take a PP course soon so many variables to "creative" pp..

**fs999** · 04-06-2012, 07:29 AM - **3 Likes**

30" shots

1/6" handheld

Nice set, great variety. Did you use a polarizer for the shot of the boats just off the coast, third to last image?
