Air! , Pola and saturation
April 9th, 2007
Some photos taken in a beautiful blue sky, like the previous series I was looking for a denser up my sky, this time I was back to the sun so the task was much easier, no flash, just the sunlight to illuminate the subject and a polarizing filter screwed up to get that deep blue.
The shots were performed against a low-angle 18mm to give more height to jump, the speed is 1 / 350 for opening of 3.5 (the polarization tends to "eat" a lot of light) and as d I usually am with a correction of an f-stop on my exposure, d200 setting security on permanent display.
This kind of picture makes me really want to invest in a real wide angle, I am torn between the fish-eye home Tokina wide angle and a "classic" type 10/20 knowing that if I head for the fisheye I risk of falling into caricature images Fisher.
The images were developed in Capture One, with just the addition of contrast, the polarizing filter does its job with downstream for my heaven and my grass!
Capture a small part of the contact sheet in Capture One:

Ooooh the sky!
Benjamin is in Brussels this box?
Otherwise what you are using polarized filter?
In any case, your series is excellent

Just outside of Brussels around 15 k, the polarity is a "beast" pola Cokin, I would invest in a polarized with my true wide angle
thank you!

I have a polarity and a blue sky! I really like this series is fresh and alive bravo!

It's fresh, it makes you want to move! For all lovers of landscape photography: the polarity is MANDATORY! We can not say enough ...
If not for your history of wide angle, I think it's much more interesting to take a super wide angle (10-20 sigma type) a fisheye. The GA gives a great perspective impressive without going overboard at all curved fisheye.
The fisheye is often very difficult to read a frame and an impresion of seen and reviewed. While in the super GA, the outlook is confusing: the sky and huge elements in the foreground enormous. And all that remains perfectly legible.
For me there is not a great picture you should take GA. I can already picture of the urban atmosphere with your treatment so special.

this series is wonderful, a dream of flying ... and I like it

Ha yeah well it shakes (as usual superb) ... that I hesitated for polarity. I think I'm convinced. For the GA, shame about the small sensors are providing super coefficient of 1.6 for me.
In pictures: why so few compared to the contact sheet?

Really beautiful sky and the rendering is beautiful!
Beautiful images of super cool!

Y tappe really strong tone pola!
I doubt either ca do with a rogue beast ...
I put mine and I retired as direct instead of embellishing the image, it made her more ugly!
