Title: Beech beauty
Post by: David Paterson on November 01, 2015, 11:10:00: Autumn colours here are the best I've seen for several years. This was earlier this morning at my favourite location down by Loch Tay.

This is an excellent example of what the trees are starting to do down South too.

difficult to create a picture of them as attractive as the impression.

you found a good solution.

Thank you, Frank. And I agree - it is very difficult to shoot any popular landscape / nature subject without a) repeating yourself, or b) imitating something you've seen, or c) producing cliched or hackneyed postcard-type images. Most of my attempts fail by being a) or b) or c) but NG members don't get to see those.

Frank, the image is indeed very detailed. But why is the file size this big even as jpeg?

Post by: Frank Fremerey on November 03, 2015, 14:12:42: Akira: I guess the file size corresponds with the amount of non compressible non repeating high frequency portions. Noise is not a topic here because I chose to work at ISO100. Noise can be an important contributer to file size in

Okay, I understand. Thank you for the explanation!
