• very interesting, john! i'm so influenced by horizontal compos that i often forget about the other options. :)

Quant à lui, comme il voulait écouter leur voix mais ne pas se laisser entraîner par leur charme, il demanda à son équipage de l’attacher solidement au mât du navire pour être sûr de résister à la tentation. - Le Cercle Rouge

Fog over Friday Harbor

Newer Older

I'm back from San Juan Island where i managed to take a few good shots during a two days period. i Love San Juan Island. the scenery is amazing, and we went to see the orcas with Captain Jim, a great figure. he's based at snug harbor and certainly knows how to find these killer whales. kudos to him for keeping his calm in front of the 6 squeeking kids we brought on his boat!

So i'm starting to experiment with the 16-35 2.8 L and it's a great piece of glass. i'm needing a bit of time as switching to wide angle stuff is complicated when you're a telephoto freak. i also gave it a try with that Cokin square filter and it works great, except i'm bummed by the fact you have a LOT of vignetting at 16mm, even with the supposedly wide angle filter holder. if the wide angle filter holder is still showing such vignetting, then what are the options to truly eradicate vignetting at 16mm? anyway i still have a lot of things to discover here really.
in order to avoid having vignetting, i actually kept the shot at 21mm

specs:

camera: 5dmkII
lens: 16-35 2.8 L
tripod
cokin gradual neutral grey g2 (ND8) - 0.9
exposure: 1.6
aperture: f18
focal lengh: 21mm

    This is where I learned to sail, and where my parents had there Honey Moon. It's stunning.
