Description -[]-[]-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone! As you probably know, I'm being very busy with my exams! I couldn't upload nor answer comments lately, and this situation will remain the same for a week or so. There are two orals left to do, but very intensive ones! (Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics, and Electromagnetism) Let's hope this suffering will end soon, I couldn't touch my camera for far too long now. Besides, I have planned a lot of photographic trips with my friend Luigi once we're done with exams, so we'll do our best to have fun and take good shots!

Meanwhile, I'm asking you to forgive me for not answering all your comments and for not being able to thank you for your continuous support. This is my little way of thanking you: a full postcard you can freely print of Santorini! You can download it from my scrap gallery or directly from here (no writings on it). I hope you'll like it!

please specify lens and filters used!

ZephonSoul In reply to DimensionSeven [2007-07-15 21:03:10 +0000 UTC]

mhhh... ok! This was meant to be a little... "gift"! (you know, good manners require to ignore the price! )
Anyway, the lens is the usual (and the only one I own) 18-70, and the filters should be a Blue GND4 + Pola. The photo was made from three shots (fast) stitched together.

DimensionSeven In reply to ZephonSoul [2007-07-16 10:20:34 +0000 UTC]

Blue ND4... Sounds good.
If it's a 3 shot stitch, you must have a bloody huge original picture... How about submitting it for a print?

ZephonSoul In reply to DimensionSeven [2007-07-16 13:54:40 +0000 UTC]

mmhhh... dunno, probably 'cause it just look like a postcard to me. You know, beautiful things may still be beautiful, but without interpretation I wouldn't call it "art". I can upload a print anyway, it's not going to cost me a penny after all.

DimensionSeven In reply to ZephonSoul [2007-07-16 14:04:43 +0000 UTC]

Who cares if it's art (or better said: artisty enough)? The biggest point is that you had fun making it and the result is more than satisfying IMO.

Thanks a lot my friend! My exams gone well enough (one of the three went relatively bad, but the important thing is that they're done!), and now I'm free and ready for some dA-time and, more importantly, for a lot of photography!

ParadigmParadox In reply to ZephonSoul [2007-07-20 14:30:59 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry that one did not go as well as the others, but hopefully it was good enough. Back when I was in college (too many years ago to admit ), they usually used a bell curve to adjust the grades given out to the performance of the class as a whole. I hope they do something similar there . Glad you will be back doing photography and sharing it here. I have to catch up on commenting, I am getting behind (but I do take sneak peaks before I comment ).

Lovely shot mate.
I'd love to go back here and do some shooting. I reckon this is the kind of shot where you could use the telephoto and have an more abstract collection of houses and foofs filling the shot.

My tendency is always to shoot as wide as possible, but I'm trying to train myself to do more work after 100mm...and this is a location that I think would work with that

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ZephonSoul In reply to AndyMumford [2007-07-20 08:22:53 +0000 UTC]

I understand your point, and I think our problem is the landscape love!
You're right though, one should train in every aspects of photography. Sooner or later I'll have to buy a tele, and I was thinking about the Sigma 70-300 APO Macro to begin with 'cause of its cheap price.

AndyMumford In reply to ZephonSoul [2007-07-20 09:17:15 +0000 UTC]

I know mate...I do have the same thing....it's something I'm trying to train myself in as well, although I'm not good at it.
It's the same with looking to pick out minimal shots for black and white conversion....I'm trying to do that more as well, but again, it requires a whole new way of "seeing".

Whatever, this is a lovely shot

Thanks a lot my friend!

I took it with the only lens I got!
The Nikkor 18-70 DX. Though it was made from three vertical exposures.

nuuuuu che bello anch'io ci sono stata!! oddio quello Γ¨ il famoso mulino del film "Che ne sarΓ  di noi" !

p.s. dio santo buona fortuna per i tuoi esami, io ho appena fatto la maturitΓ  e giΓ  mi Γ¨ sembrata un inferno, a sentir parlare di fisica nucleare mi viene da star male U_U

ODDDIIIOOO!!! "CHE NE FHHARA' DI NOI????" Beh dai, povero Muccino, alla fine c'Γ¨ di peggio...
Gli esami sono andati... anche abbastanza bene anche se ieri ho preso una tranvatella... mah, l'importante Γ¨ che ora sono in vacanza!
Comunque resta il fatto che a Santorini bisogna tornarci, magari non d'estate che Γ¨ un po' invivibile, ma tipo Maggio secondo me Γ¨ perfetto!
