[Theme] Urban Landscapes

It's nice to see how the 24-120 renders images. Thank you Anirban. They look good!
(Your Df sensor has some dust in the night shot)

Thanks Jakov. Dust is now removed. Somehow I missed it..
I must say I did not enjoy 24-120. It is quite heavy for a walk-around lens.

Same spot with 28 f2 ais and 55 f3.5 P ai converted. While there were cyclists and jogger on the bridge; down right below there were teenagers smoking weed.

55 f3.5 P:




28 f2:

Pretty impressive Anirban.   The 28/2  gives nice stars, and somehow looks a bit warmer too.

[Anirban Halder]

Thank you John.  55 has 6 blades vs 7 blades in 28. That's why I believe 28 results in better stars.

Tipsy urban landscape on a cloudy evening.

And little way too much PP than usual. Apologies, I know it hurts some of your eyes.

No harm done. I dont think you have overdone it but the sky has to come down a notch or two to be pleasing. Maybe you took the picture when the sky was too bright or too early in the evening to get the long exposure effect?
The first set of pictures with the bridge is wonderful

Anirban, the third night shot of the bridge is lovely as well as the tipsy one
Haven't you seen me among the teenagers

Thank you Børge. You are absolutely right. Sky was much brighter at that time and I still wanted the long exposure effect.
Bridge shots, I'm not entirely happy with the framing. Someday I will go back and try again. Thanks again.

Thank you Jakov. Next time I will keep an eye.

"Someday I will go back and try again." My book is full of this sentence. Lots of places were I know there is a picture hidden, but I haven't unleashed the full potential yet. Its a great feeling when you finally get it right

Ditto!

More urban Minneapolis. I've a long way to go - to learn how to make good pictures "with distortion" and without correcting them. Such as these ones from 18-35mm.

Cloudy morning with thunderstorm, from hotel window.
Df, 105/2.5 AI.

[John Geerts]

A very dark cloudy morning. Looks like winter, I like the foggy atmosphere.

[Anirban Halder]

Thanks John!

Anirban, looking at your sunset reflection of Mineapolis it seems to me you have mastered the 18-35
