Really stunning - I like the great clarity (focus) throughout the photo, I like your choice of toning and the small amount of colour you've allowed to come through - it's really special.

Wow Carsten, this is a very impressive picture. It seems to me you are making great strides with digital photography. The clarity is most impressive. The colour work is surely not subtle, but very intelligently done in keeping with the nature of the subject. This is the sort of photographic treatment that is very much in demand in advertising and magazine circles at least in Helsinki. Technically, this is looking very professional indeed. Rgds, Svend

P.S. schöne Gegend in Mariazell:)
Hab gerade gelesen du entwickelst nicht mehr selbst und hast dein Labor verkauft, ist sehr schade. Ich komme gerade wieder auf meine analogen Kameras zurück:) Ich werde mein Canon17-40 analog nutzen, somit habe ich dann den Weitwinkeleffect für spezielle Landschaftsaufnahmen. Muß das auch mal ausprobieren mit den 2 Ebenen in PS, sieht sehr creativ aus. Wieder was gelernt:)
Liebe Grüsse, Pia

Pia, thanks for dropping by. The 17-40/4L is still my best lens, and I use it when I have the time to change lenses and have it available (the EF-S 10-22 is always mounted on my 300D), for scenes that dont need super wide perspective. Optically, the 17-40/4L is unsurpassed and one of the best zooms ever built

Hi Carsten, like your landscape and field photos, your sky looks always so dramatic. Interesting to read how you worked on it in PS, thanks for your Tipp. The Canon10-22 wide lense works well for the right perspective, I like it more than my 17-40.
Like your portfolio:)
Ciao, Pia :)

Hi Carsten. Wow, I'm a bit surprised I haven't "stumbled" across your portfolio before. Your skyscapes, cloudscapes, and landscapes are incredible. Outstanding DOF, comp, tones, texture, the whole works! Also, excellent PS here. I love this photo, because I feel like I'm standing right there in the field! Thank you for the rework (fun to see) and comment on my "moody blue" pic. Looking forward to more posts. Best regards.
Sarah

Os, thanks for stopping by !
The EF-S 10-22 is not an "L" lens, but... if you need the extra wide FOV, it is the best option available. And it quite decent optically, almost no barrel distortion @ the wide end, and quite good (not as good as my 17-40/4L, of course) regarding sharpness and contrast.
My absolute favourite is the 17-40/4L, one of the best zooms ever, IMO. I use both, and shoot with the 10-22 if I need a really wide perspective. On the long run, full frame will be affordable even for me ;-) So I will sell the 300D body with the 10-22 and use my 17-40/4L then for super wide. Ok I know the 16-35 is even a tad better, but...
Regards
Carsten

Peter, excuse the delayed response. First I tried a standard circ polarizer -> vignette, as you have experienced also. This polarizer is now mounted on my 17-40/4L. I bought a B+W slim circular polarizer (77 SLIM KSM C-POL MRC) -> no vignette, even @10 mm. The grad ND filter is a problem, because even the slim Cokin system holder vignettes @ 10 mm. And, the slim polarizer does not allow for another filter on top, no srcew thread. So I use the Cokin grad ND on top handheld as a makeshift, a bit tricky but it works. Cokin filters are plastic, so take care for the surface integrity and scratches, but optically, they are ok.
Regards
Carsten

Exellent depht and overall sharpness.Very good photostitch! Since i am a beginner photographer and because u use the same efs lens i need a bit of advice. What kind of filtersystem do u use at 10mm? I have tried a slim screw-on polarizer and a gradient nd 0.6 filter......but they both give a lot of vignetting( even used seperately) at the 10mm end.This seems to be gone at 13-14mm. Maybe you use a slide filter system. Any advice on this matter???

Hi Carsten,
to be honest, I like the split between the foreground and the background even more than in the previous posting. The outcome is great: The dramatic toning, the high contrasts and the desaturated look gives the image something special. perhaps a bit artificial but nevertheless very impressive. Your postprocessing skills are really good.
good one!
best wishes,
Thilo

For me its the foreground that makes the shot...spectacular and a lot of work by the sounds of your about....well done. I might have even cropped the sky more. It looks a little too over-worked with the rest of the image and hence distracting.
You know when you look at the whole photograph and it either says yes or no or there's just something that doesn't "feel" right....this is what I'm getting here...hope you understand my ramblings..?
Cheers and congrats
Manu

Really nice. The selective colouring gives the image depth and the detail achieved through stitching several images is very obvious. Great work as ever. My wife, looking over my shoulder, says 'it's very nice' and she's an artist!

Breathtaking! The detail in the grass and selective color against the sepiatones is fabulous. As usual, your tireless efforts pay off. Just tackled a difficult interior shoot for an architect who wanted design elements captured duck with the outside views. The techniques I've picked up from you (blending different exposures -- stitching, etc.) were essential. As for landscapes, my meager attempts to mimick your techniques have shown me just how well-honed your skills are. My hat's off to you my friend. This one reminds me of Winslow Homer BTW. The dramatic sky and the peaceful yet also dramatic foreground -- adore it. Antonia

What a stunning photo, Carsten! I love the way the three poppies (in a triangular configuration, no less!) stand out boldly yet still delicate in the wheat field. The textural quality is wonderful here, as is the blend of sepia and color - it really sets a great 'stormy' mood! Only the small piece of cloud/sky right above the little hill seems a bit too bright, maybe, but that's nit-picking. A truly awesome image!

This is extremely cool. What a great image.
The only thing that bugs me a little is that I don't like the duotone color you used in the cloud area. It looks like it could use a more subtle golden tone to really make the clouds pop.
Otherwise, this is bloody brilliant.
