Jack take a look here. You should be pretty good prepared with a new air.
VERY NICE! Love the light.
Hi Mark,
I'm doing it the same way as you when shooting handheld. I do set the exposure by half pressing the shutter release, focus with the back button, compose the picture and fire.
Tripod is different. Before using the S2 I very often used the M Mode. But with the S2 I mostly use the exposure compensation.
I think the S2 really supports you to concentrate on the picture rather then turning wheels and making adjustments.
But I do not shoot that much so far and take time to try out everything possible. So this is a preliminary statement. 😉

PeteHi Arif,
My feelings go up and down with this picture. I do love the composition, even if it is a little bit artifical. I do love the motive at all, but I would love to see the young monk a little bit more highlighted apart from the background.
I took a look at the other pictures of your trip to Myanmar. Very nice. Especially the two pictures on the lake with the boats and the fisherman. Great.

PeteHi Doug,
Thanks a lot for the work you did. I do think, keeping in mind the adapter, the lens you use, that the results are quite satisfying. At least they will work out for a good sized print.
When trying to judge those results I always caught myself looking for the “wow” which isn't something to expect by this combination. Or maybe it is “wow” when approaching this from the other side. And as known it is so hard to judge if you do not use the same setup and the same motive with the same lighting conditions to judge. Especially when it is outdoor where light and heat have massive influence on the outcome of the picture.
I do love the picture of Jim.
Enough of talking.
Cheers,
PeteThanks Doug. This is very interesting. Are you able to post some of the pictures with 100% crop to get a better impression of the results?
I hope your injury from Vegas is not the result of a meeting with a person while doing street who don't want to get captured. Get well soon.
Pete
Thanks Jack.
We've done a few of the usual suspects: Grand, Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands, Antelope, Monument Valley and a little bit of Zion. So I will post some more pictures step by step.
Re what I will do with it: I dont know yet. I still have a crush on my camera, we do not know each other that well. If you understand what I mean. 😉
It is hard for me to judge if the picture is as good as it could be. I think that I am the limiting factor in terms of IQ. :p
Additionally I switched from C1 to LR3. So lot's of things to learn and to get used to.
Do you think a 24mm is capable of getting the whole Horseshoebend? I'm not sure. 😉

Currently, the wheel direction necessary to stop down the aperture is in the opposite direction of my Canon dSLRs. This makes it confusing to switch from one camera to the other.

Haha. Good to know that I'am not the only one. I ALWAYS turn into the wrong directions. It would be so easy to add.
Hi Marc,
That is a hard question you are asking. I would say depends. What would you like to tell? What do you see? With which techniques (grain, contrast etc.) could you express and underline the feeling you have when seeing this picture.
What I mostly do before converting a picture into B&W is making it a nice colorfull picture. In my opinion it gives you more dynamic when converting into B&W.
I attached a version of your picture trying to express what I see here.
Best,
Pete
