thanks goils. I do so love my rig, big and heavy though it is and, not that you guys ever would, but sometimes a 4/3rds user takes a lot of crap about how lousy our image quality is. yeah right.

Nice photos.

[Marko]

shot 2 for me please for its wonderful comp.

[Wicked Dark]

thanks guys. I slopped around in the slush a bit to get the curve right.

I rarely add opinion when it isn't asked for buuuuuut if you used "curves" in a graphics program to add contrast to the blue skied foreground and the reflected clouds, this shot would sing even louder imo.

Sing louder?

It's a weird expression i learned in photo school 100 years ago...
Basically it refers to getting a better tonal range - In this shot, the blue skied foreground and the reflected clouds look like they could use brightening to my eye. That brightening imo, would make the image pop harder or sing louder. I just REALLY like this image and to my eye, like a gorgeous layered cake, it has 4 sections, 2 of which stand out less......apologies in advance if the (unasked for) comment threw you for a loop.

it's quite all right. sometimes it's hard to be objective about a photo because I was the one taking it - I saw what was there and have an interpretation that is sometimes pretty single-minded. Let me do some playing and see, although I do tweak curves on almost every photo.

[Wicked Dark]

you were right, Marko, the mids needed a boost.
