Weydale

[Mystical Potato Head]

Went for a walk down to Thurso castle this morning and somehow ended up walking to Waydale.:confused

Good oppertunity to try out the new camera(5DMKII) and lenses on somewhere i hadnt photographed before,especially as the light was so variable this morning.Spent a good 2 hours in full manual mode seeing what this gem of a camera can do.
Image quality in all types of light is superb,low light,high iso is really amazing,cant believe how little noise there is even at high iso's.

On the subject of photoshop,here's a HDR/tone mapped version.

I thought the 1st one was HDR is it just the higher dynamic range of the 5DM2? both great but #2 edges it for me, more colour depth than #1

The first one taken with a custom camera setting,sharpness and contrast at +6 &+4 respectively,saturation and colour tone at neutral.
Lens polariser set at max.
Photoshop sharpening..1.5 pixel radius at 100%
Made the brown grass in the foreground more orange.

The second one i just went mental with Photomatix.

So the vast majority is down to the camera and i would hope the dynamic range,colour sensitivity and overall image quality of what is a professional camera would be noticably improved regardless of the content.Well i know that for a fact because i took a few real stinkers yesterday but boy they were good quality stinkers.:lol:
