at F16, tripod had legs closed and being held over my head at full extension to get as much height as possible. This is probably the best view of it but at ground level you are below the stones as they are on the brow of a hill. Most images you only see a line of stones and dont get the full idea of the circle. ideally you would be another 10' higher so maybe I need to bring a step ladder next time!
bigger
Cropped, strightened and de-noised with noise ninja. I had a hi ISO to account for hand held tripod and small aperture to capture the depth. A few stray sheep cloned out too! _________________ LENS LIST |

I like it Bob. It has the right balance of background blur for me. Enough to make the stones stand out, but not so blurred to prevent the viewer to have an understanding of the surroundings. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Nice! I like the angle, gives good depth and view at the same time I think.
I cant try the technique because I dont have a ... ahhh, whats it called, remote trigger(?)... and you would have to have one of those, I guess.
How is the Yashica ML 28? I talked to a wildlife-photograper on a forum in sweden and he said he had one of those lenses but it was a dissopointment beacause it couldnt keep sharp on certain apertures. Maybe he just had a bad copy (or could be damaged somehow)... _________________ Retrocamera.net |

I put the camera on bracketing 3 exposure and timer delay so press the shutter button and 5 seconds before it goes off hoist up into position, then check results, it did need some straightening due this I probably fired off about 40 frames to get one decnt one, most had too much sky/grass.

No not me, this is a very well composed image, maybe a little over the top with the clouds on the right but looking at the position he must have been high up too, I shall have to ask him if he did a similar thing certainly the light was nicer with the dawn rays catching the stones. It is a very popular photographers spot, I would say just about every phtog in the Northwest has had a go at this the scenery is just stunning. I was there on 3 occasions at 6 AM and each time there was some one else there. taking pictures. One guy (another 5d guy) said he was leaving because it was to windy, too windy for stones I thought?

Its a better than average 28mm noothing spectacular, but its the best 28mm I have, better would be the 24mm I think which I am on the look out for. _________________ LENS LIST |

Wonderful shot Bob. The technique of tripod jack sounds pretty fun. You should put into the new basic technique thread that Jim started. I'm sure many folks never thought to try it. I wonder if you could have shot at f8 for a couple more stops on the shutter. The ML28 is at it's best at that aperture. Also it looks like you where at infinity so depth of field in background would be the same. I feel envious of you folks on the "little islands" sometimes. So many beautiful scenes with such great history and mystery surrounding them _________________ Moderator |

@ Prometheus
I think your friend may have a bad copy. The ML28 is one of the true gems at it's focal length. I think it is one of the most commonly held lenses among members here as well. If you have a chance to buy one you should not pass it up. _________________ Moderator |
