RE: GESO Something for everyone
Nice factory. Lots of that going around these days! ;-) Lovely shot of the bike but that seat is way too low. For it to be that low the frame is way too large for that rider. But that's hardly your fault; it's still a cool pic. Love the Heron! Tremendous detail and great light.

HI Again Frank, the industrial pic was an experiment and obviously appeals to a limited crowd wheras bikes and birds (feathered kind) it's difficult to go wrong :) I saw that track bike-porn pic you recently posted on FB, that seat looked ridiculously high but I guess it's ride-able. I can see too though that given the crank length on the pic of the bike I made that even someone with short legs would end up with knees under their chin at the top of the motion, not comfortable or practical I assume.

Lovely detail in the heron. The industrial one so-so. The bike is out of this world - it looks as though it's from another dimension. A very interesting composition and light.

Re: GESO Something for everyone
Rob, How did you get so close to the heron? Great shot, though those birds really do look better at a distance! I like the bicycle shot; well spotted. The large dark mass in the industrial shot detracts, I think. Is there any detail that can be salvaged?

Thanks Bob, the bike I couldn't resist, I had already packed up and was about to jump in my car, the contrast was too seductive :) The heron was pretty badly back-lit so I had to under expose somewhat to avoid blowing out the sky in a distracting way, the K5's capture latitude is a godsend in that regard. The ships were mostly a technical experiment, I'm not thrilled with the composition but it definitely proved the system's capabilities. Your comments are appreciated.

I like the bicycle shot; well spotted. The large dark mass in the industrial shot detracts, I think. Is there any detail that can be salvaged? Hi Rick, thanks for the comments. The heron seemed quite content on his branch so I was able to get a few shots, I was of course using a 200mm lens too which put a bit of distance between us, they aren't small birds. I agree they look somewhat more shapely at a distance, I did get some pics of the same bird in the mud-flats along with a pelican, spoonbill and some other waterbirds. I haven't had a chance to have a good look at the images yet, I may post some later if they are OK. The industrial shot as I mentioned earlier in this reply is a pair of oil tankers over 800m away, I did take bracketed exposures but the ships were moving relative to each other so I can't combine the images to extend the dynamic range without an inordinate about of work. That said on my calibrated monitors I can see detail in the black areas in front of the ship hulls. I will definitely try to shoot some more industrial images when I find suitable subjects. The bike was a totally spontaneous find, unfortunately these days I see bikes and I think hmm, PDML :) On 29 April 2013 00:14, Alan C c...@lantic.net wrote: Rob, the image of the ships in the harbour at night and your previous pano are absolutely stunning.
