Mukilteo Lighthouse, WA,  and a departing ferry heading to Whidbey Island.

 

 

 

 

 

D600, Zeiss 21/2.8

 

UPDATE:

 

Here is a new version shot one year later with the D800 and Zeiss 18/3.5.  The 18mm captured more on the RH side but I cropped that out because it is the edge of a building

Thanks.  It was ISO 800, f8, 1/20th on a tripod.

Hey Guy, I just went through and looked at all the pics you have posted here. You have a real talent for this photography stuff.

Are you a pro photographer, or just an enthusiastic amateur?

Also, are you shooting in HDR sometimes? Some of your images have such perfectly balanced exposures and colors that they look like HDR to me.

Thanks. Just an enthusiast.  I shoot about  as much medium format BW film as I do digital and BW film it my favorite.  No HDR.  I may exposure blend two shots on occasion but they are done by hand and not HDR software.  I think all shots posted so far are single exposures.  I pull up the shadows in the RAW file since there is a couple stops buried there you can use and close to one stop of highlight recovery you can get it seems on these files.   

 

I have a highlight compression process I use on BW film and I can get some killer dynamic range on that medium.

Well, you seem to have mastered this post processing technique. You images are very beautiful. I still have not tried to do much with RAW files. It's an area I need to explore. Mostly I shoot in large JPEGs.

Thanks for that generous comment.  I can understand a person's preference for not wanting to edit RAW files.  But it is handy to do sometimes.
