I thought these were an interesting comparison...not just of seasons (early spring vs Thanksgiving), but of cameras.... ![]() www.mamiya35collectors.com/farm/apple tree.jpg[/img]  The shots are of the same two trees, taken from roughly the same location. The first was a LONG time exposure (about 4 seconds @ f/16) just after sundown, taken with a Mamiya NC1000 on Fuji Superia 100. The second was taken with my Canon 300D DSLR (Digital Rebel 1/250sec @ f/8 -- ISO 200). *interesting aside...note the apples still on the tree in the snow!  |

Ron,
Yes, I remember when you posted that first shot before. And I must say I like it much better than the second one of it in winter. The warmth and comfort show in the first one and the second just chills me to the bone.
I looked and looked and thought that looked like an apple. Glad you confirmed I wasn't seeing things.

Ron: What I found most interesting is the difference in the distant tree line. That first shot was after sundown. It was far too dark to do anything handheld, but I had been walking around with the camera mounted on my tripod. My trusty incident meter told me I should shoot at f/4 for 1/4 sec...but I wanted to see if, in that light, I could get the depth of field required to pick up the trees in the background...so I used my cable release (to minimize shake) to shoot at f/16 for a full 4 seconds...and those distant trunks actually pop out of the background. My digital shot was in much more brilliant light (and handheld). I took my exposure reading from the area above the horizon, so I would get some detail in the shadows, even if the snow got a little blown out. The tree trunks in the background are far more indistinct, which is probably to be expected from two full stops more open...and whatever tremor there is from my hands at 1/250. I would have tried to set it up for an f/16 to f/16 comparison, except I did not have my notes with me and couldn't remember the exposure settings from the first shot! And, I have to admit, I did not see the apples until after I had taken the shot!  |
