That's a local kernesse. The landscape shooting session wasn’t an explicit part of my plan, that’s just a side opportunity. Weather conditions weren’t too favourable: high humidity, haze, fast low-flying clouds, but that’s nonetheless better than a clear sky. That would be good to retake the same views in autumn from the same positions.
Formerly, decades ago, it was a sluice. f11, 1/50s, CPL filter.
The
same view with an old Nikkor AIS 28 mm. The classic soft Nikon
drawing. f8, 1/125s, gradient grey filter. The latter device makes a
good job in weather conditions like those.
The
same view with a kit zoom lens, f11, 1/60s, gradient grey filter.
Under
ink-like clouds. Zoom lens, f11, 1/50s, gradient grey filter.
Now let’s compare, how different lenses and filters work. That’s another position, 30 m away from the previous one.
Kit
zoom, f11, 1/80s, gradient grey. No, that wouldn’t do, since a
focal distance is too short. Nonetheless may it exist.
The next couple was taken with the Nikkor AIS 28 mm. See the difference between two filters effect. f11, 1/50s, CPL-filter.
f8,
1/160s, gradient grey filter.
St.
Peter and Paul church. Kit
zoom, f11, 1/80s, CPL-filter.
Well, formerly I often used a combination of filters, typically CPL+gradient grey, with excellent results, but now that doesn’t work with a full-frame camera.
