Also a very good performer on the Nikon D600, posted before in the B&W theme



Nice textures colour and composition John -

I have a D600 at work and will have a play!

Photos are from my mum in laws farm near York Western Australia.
... only missed by about 3000 km! The gently rolling granite landscape should have got me thinking further afield - the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia would have been another possibility.  My parents are West Australian, from the wheat belt out beyond Northam.  I visited several times as a kid, but haven't been out into that country since the 1970s.  I have photos somewhere, taken on my first camera (not counting my mother's Box Brownie).  It was a Konica rangefinder.  Will look forward to more photos from this part of the world!

Cheers - John

Thanks JJ

With the Df some examples at 17mm and wide open.  I repaired the broke HB-23, so it's in use again ;)

John, what did you use to correct lens distortion in those pictures? They look excellent!

Thanks Buddy. Actually I tried the automatic distortion correction in CC/ Camera raw, but that didn't give the wanted results (over-correction). I just straightened the horizon, and applied a very slight barrel-correction and some vignetting (wide open).  (it's not 100% perfect in my eyes)

Most important with the 17mm is get the framing right when taking the shot, a lot depends on how perspective is used, a few cm. movement can change it.

Pretty simple subject, but I like the diagonals.

Thanks Sten.   Nice diagonals, Benveniste.
