[Theme] minimalist images

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Snow scenes tend to be minimalistic by their very nature. Using a long lens allows the photographer to carve out a suitable chunk of the white landscape and serve it up to the viewers.

(200-400/4 ED Nikkor, which by the way is a phenomenal landscape lens)

[Jakov Minić]

Bjørn, I am amazed how much depth of field you were able to extract with such a long lens?
I know you stopped it down, but still, it seems that everything is in focus?
Lovely image!

[Bjørn Rørslett]

EXIF says f/24. Focal length around 300 mm.

Again the 200-400/4 ED Zoom-Nikkor in a winter landscape. This time showing the delicate colour transitions of a sunset sky reflected in fresh ice of a small lake.

Beautiful shots !

Two superb images !

I really like the rhythm and depth of the snowy one.

I guess the zoom is the manuel version ?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Yes. I specified 200-400/4 ED, *not* ED-IF.

A quick snapshot of this lens on a decent supporting tripod .... For once a long Nikkor with an adequate tripod mount.

A bit too late for christmas decorations but the photo is still minimalistic

[Jakov Minić]

It is never late for minimalism.

Blue/white or white/blue ?

Blue/white or white/blue ?

I once asked similar question to a zebra once.
