Keep Clear of Boom

GRD, f5, 1/90, ISO 64, JPG, 40mm

There is something about taking pictures in the fall, winter and spring when the sun is low. It creates harsh and long shadows and gives pictures a different contrast. I prefer the light to the summer where it is usually a bit flat and you don't get much contrast. I like the textures and shadows in this picture, it was very good out of the camera but I played around with the curves to get a even higher contrast and added some vignetting. The vignetting was for two reasons, first because I think it looks better but also to mask the flare in the corner from the 40mm lens.

  2. Clicked on the picture to get an enlarged view - worth doing to see the crisp detail of the image - great shot Cristian.

  3. Indeed the larger view is worthwhile taking! Nice contrast but also detail, in my opinion this is a lot better than the grdII or gx series...

  6. Thanks for your comments guys!

    The GRD I produces very crisp images with a lot of details when used at low ISOs and when exposed correctly.
