Taken yesterday at a classic car show. |
Interesting shot. You definitely have an excellent eye.

Here's my favorite of the day:
Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-4.5 @ 61mm f/8, 1/800s, ISO100
Now, which do you guys prefer? That one, or this one with the contrast bumped up?

The first is white, puffy, and soothing. Makes me think: "Ahhhh...".
The second is amazingly dramatic, intense, thrilling, and makes me think: "Whoa! Holy Moly! Oh.My.Gosh."
So, I like both very much. Why must one choose? They are completely different statements, don't you think?

Shot on a small train station in Leiden, around midnight. ISO 800, 50mm F1.8, 1/40sec. no flash.
Somewhere near Leiden. ISO 100, 70mm F4.5, 1/160sec.

I *love* the shot of the girl. Wonderful close-up.
And the bovine, poor thing, desperately needs some attention to the fur coat... though I guess that winter coat will just shed completely off when spring arrives, yes?
